So this is getting ridiculous lately with how you can be put into a battle that is almost finished before you even spawn for the first time. I don’t remember it being this bad before, like it got worse with the latest major update.
This is what I saw right after joining the game, it ended not longer than 2 minutes later, I wasn’t even able to run to the last cap zone. Good that I only had 50% boost as it was a total waste of it anyway. This was my 2nd so late join just today.
I had the same experience. I forgot to take a screenshot, but the moment I entered the game, there were less than 600 tickets left.
It took less than a minute for me to queue, for the matchmaker to find the game, and for the game to load.
I remember reading somewhere that if you join a game mid-game, you can only join the match within 2 minutes of the game starting, but I can’t imagine spending 400 tickets within 2 minutes of the game starting. Something must have happened with the matchmaker.
Guadalcanal Coast West (Invasion): Enlisted
First show up on the scoreboard was at 9:46 min (connecting to the server) together with 4 other players 3 on USA and 2 (me included) on Japan. So yea, we were thrown into a battle almost 10 minutes after first players have joined, and the battle ended less than 3 minutes after spawn.
New Georgia (Confrontation): Enlisted
First show up on the scoreboard was at 8:07 min (connecting to the server), battle ended about 2 minutes after spawn.
