We’re never going to stop all desertion, some people just refuse to play on a losing team no matter what. However, by ridding the game of some of the obvious reasons people desert is a start.
Rank, w/l % and solo players encountering stacked groups cause a lot of the desertions, and those would be easy to deal with by ending the rank system, ending the win loss percentage and allowing solo players to play other solo players only. That would be three things that would be very easy for the Dev’s to implement. However, like I said, nothing is going to stop it all, but you have to start somewhere, and the obvious would be a good starting point. Then, re-evaluate the results and go from there. Otherwise, we are just going to continue chasing our tails.
i have made longer answers for much less if that amuses you.
but all just to set the record straight
although, ask your self this;
do penalties affect custom matches and mods?
answer is, no.
some people can see reasons even if doesn’t benefit or directly affects them.
not a crazy concept to grasp if you ask me
it’s like saying that it is impossible for an individual who asks/suggests free slots for f2p. because apparently there has to be ulterior motives or self interest even if it doesn’t benefit that said individual.
a bad team is not problem, but map of course its problem. even if i have a bad teammate and only me to make rally point as long as it moscow it will motivate me to carry those bad team, but if its already bad team + map that i hate, then where is the fun?
the fun is in to turn around the situation.
and letting the baddies have a rough time too.
perhaps could be considered " destructive " behavior and fun can be subjective. but usually there’s a reward and a challenge.
otherwise, you’re not really there to play.
how convenient to leave rofl stomp matches when it’s done to your team, but completely fine to do and stays in the match when it’s the opposite and done to the enemy.
how am i gonna turn the table if its not the map that i like? by just looking at the loading map screen that i hate, my mind already want to desert and not want to play, and like i said even if i have a bad team and not rofl stomp enemy team, as long as it moscow i will not leave.
That’s a difficult when we lost 50% of the 2nd objective before I managed to spawn my 2nd squad after the first one was whipped out within 10s from the start.
Now excuse me, I need to build a sandcastle in the backline while waiting for the match to end.
i refuse to believe that in 5 points of a map it’s not possible to either:
( well… ugh. assuming it’s an invasion. but the same applies to any other gamemode. you literally have rally points. the easiest tool to win most situations even if teams are bad )
Dude (dudess? is there even a female form?), in such matches objectives fall before I finish building a rally. There is nothing my sorry noob ass can do to turn the tables around.
Best thing I can do is to move away from the front of a lawnmower.
its not about the strategy its about the map, if im not get moscow map, my mind already tell me to leave because i know iam not having fun there even if my team pro i will leave. i play enlisted because of moscow map. so other map will make me leave. and thats the reason i love old theater of war because i can play in moscow
what? im not forcing people. i just suggesting that map selection will be good and it will maybe kinda solve the problem with people deserting, than if they add selection map than penalties deserting is okay
perhaps a bit of extremist argument, but if everyone would start leaving because of X or Y we wouldn’t have a game to frikkin play.
and what you described, is to ask for only to play on moscow.
like if that’s even possible to do post merge.
( well, you can by playing customs. but point is, you aren’t the only one player existing and / or playing this game. it is not feasable to just play 1 campaign out of 6 for a set of maps. which you’re effectively leaving in the other players that they didn’t asked for an extreamist that only wants to play moscow )
i’m sorry, but most games are a misery when playing solo.
there aren’t perfect games where other groups are hard separated.
not even in Wt.
( which… effectively has became a metric now given how many things are similar. and we are closely approaching )
you people are only convincing me that desertion is a serious issue.
and might actually bring me towards the edge of making me invested just to prove common sense apparently.
have you seen my loadouts too ?
i’m basically almost gifting victories to my enemies by using historical loadouts.
yet always manages to win and lose here and there.
