Am I wrong to leave battle?

1 BP objective remaining, only about 30 minutes to play. The objective is “capture one strategic point”.
Literally 4 matches in a row where I am on the defensive team. None of those the missions where you can recapture the enemy captured points.
Just left until I found a match where I could capture points. Is that so wrong?
I leave right away before the teams are even full so the matchmaker should fill the spot.

in my eyes, idk, Leaving a match improves my Mental sanity over staying the whole match.

But 60%~ of the comunity says otherwise, as they don’t like losing teammates, creating a snowball effect…

But being honest, you can almost always overcome the challenge, sometimes it just puts too much strain in my head (also called frustration) and I preffer to not sweat over it.

Why would that be a bad thing? Just do whatever you want, this is a game. Plenty would said that you shouldn’t because bla bla bla, but what do you care? If you want to leave every single match just do it.

I do this all the time and I don’t care, neither should you. They wouldn’t give you a BP task without subsequent mission of this type unless they don’t care, so why should you? Just have fun

Do what you think is best and do not be someone’s XP punching bag if it’s a lost match from the get go don’t stay there’s no reason to there’s not even a bonus if you fight to the bitter end

Kinda, depends on which point of view You’re using.
But I’d say that it is error on the devs part for making faulty mission objectives, and otherwise not adding incentives to stay in a (losing) match.

This task is actually easy but sometimes annoying because matchmaking keeps throwing me into destruction or matches where my team defend

Yeah, it’s very annoying 5th match only allowed me to cap a point.

Why players always make a problem with this particular task. If I have it and actually want to complete it and not change it to some other, all I do is start some simple CUSTOM CONQUEST battle (1v1) and that’s it, you are guaranteed to be able to capture a point.

I can say that most of my tasks I complete daily are done on “Manor” Conquest as this map is perfect for a quick battle. Average time is somewhere close to a 6 minutes (up to 7 for Allies because of the “balance”), unless I farm 30/40/50 kills with a specific type of weapon then I just capture first point and let bots capture one on their side so neither side will bleed points.

This awful task should be changed to objective kills fucking ages ago.
But no, why fix root problems of desertion when you can just add more penalties for leaving, lazy devs.

  1. It’s boring af
  2. Not helpfull when playing with someone, yeah just play custom with me vs bots bro
  3. It’s better for grinding harder side task with little time, like melee kills

Of course it is, but still better alternative that counting on “luck” to get a proper mission and play few whole battles and be stuck on one task, 6-7 minutes of playing custom 1v1 battle vs who knows how long on normal battles, could be 2 hours.

Overall it would be best if they just remove this “capture the point” task completely, but until then (if ever) fast custom battle is a good way of fast and guaranteed completion of this task.

Just desert like op untill attacking on invasion or conquest/confrontation match is found.
And You don’t have to be in match till end, just cap one point, afk rest game, and claim when it’s finished.

It’s retarded, but we have to fight devs retardation wih our own

If you are even trying to keep your rank then just join and desert battles few times in a row is not the best idea, also afking doesn’t work as it used to when you could just keep your squad selection screen open with locked squad chosen (so you couldn’t spawn). Now you still need to be somewhat active, basically spawn and move from time to time or you will be booted out of the battle, in the end like if you deserted.

Please don’t brag about it in public or complain about mentioning players quitting early, please confide and discuss it in your small circle of friends.
In public, why not discuss the root cause of the problem?
Why not write out your desired new matching mechanism, new rewards and new penalties and discuss them with everyone?
Then use your results to compare the root causes of the problems.
Or are you just defending yourself or others, or leading conflicts between players.
After all, in the current version the report about quitting early, fighting negatively, or even tk teammates will not be accepted by df.
For example, in the problem feedback, players were asked to contact the forum administrator, who in turn asked to use the report action in-game. The player, however, often only notices these behaviours when watching the replay. At this point it is no longer possible to report it in-game.

It’s not like there are dozens of threads about root causes of desertions every week.

Everybody is shitting because it’s been years and it only got worse.

We won’t even have map veto after merge, but they said there will be more penalties for deserters.
Devs don’t care

Indeed.
One can never wake up someone who has fallen into a drunken sleep.
After all, a lot of people in the discussion are always ignoring the manpower put in by the people who leave, and the cost of the time it takes for the replacement robots to be put in and deployed.

that why i hate that task

I don’t understand why some people condemn desertion as if it was something like a crime against humanity.
We’re not getting paid for playing this game.
