It seems that desertion penalties need to be fixed, but for special circumstances. Today, I was put into a conquest match where when I started, we had already lost 2 positions…you can’t blame people for quitting for brutal matchmaking. Also, you tick of maps and battles that you don’t like…then are thrown into battle after battle of them. My personal favorite is being kicked out for updates…all to keep getting desertion penalties and losing rank points. These instances should NOT be penalized.
- Do you agree these instances should be fixed?
- Are you in favor of keeping them as is?
Every game mode I gave thumbs down to were Assault, and if I load up a game and get dropped into Assault, I DESERT IMMEDIATELY! No second thought, I’m gone. I just accept the idiotic penalty since their is nothing I can do about it. Since I was getting dropped into 75% matches of either maps or modes I had gave thumbs down to, I just started playing in my own custom matches. I NEVER get a map or mode I hate, so, more fun for me. I only now play in the general game mode when I have 500% boosters saved up. Yes, all bots if you play personal two man, but I’ve been getting lots of bots in general game mode as well. Just a couple days ago, I was cashing in on my 500% boosters and played two BR3 Soviet matches. Both took over two minutes to start, and both were majority enemy bots, in fact I would swear one was totally enemy bots.
Personally, they should give you so much time, like 10-15 seconds when the game starts so if you hate the map or mode, you can exit without penalty, however, they won’t because too many people will be doing it.

Leaving the battlefield mid-battle is absolutely unacceptable. I support official penalties for abandoning combat mid-battle. You can’t run away just because you don’t like the map. Abandoning your teammates and giving up the fight is cowardly and despicable!

That’s what I think, I desert immediately…especially when thrown in mid-match. When I have already hit Marshal then I will stay.
Not leaving mid-battle because you are losing…right at the start because of bad match making.

If it’s a map matching issue, then the developers should definitely fix it. If it’s intentional abandonment of the battle midway, then the punishment should indeed be more severe.

I agree with that…it’s all about how the matches are decided.
Looks someone deleted my reply.
Someone doesn’t like the truth
Well, you can fight alone there. The match already have predictable result you will be lose right 5 mins after the match? So what’s the point of playing when you already know you will be lose anyway? 20% I’ll take it, I’m not alone who have penalty anyway
I agree certain maps are complete bullshit. Especially if you are on ATK assault. I favors the defender way too much. I like the idea of 15 seconds to bail if you do not like the match. Why they expect people to continue to play shit matches is beyond me. I am at the point I just do not care anymore and started playing a lot less because of the lack of joy in the game. I just got nailed due to an issue with GE force now lost 3x100% got a 20% penalty and lost 5 rank points.

Eh, who cares about ranking in Enlisted?
In the past, I used to care that by my deserting I was weakening team and players who trying to win. Now, seeing how matchmaking and battles are going, I don’t really care. Game is gradually discouraging me from playing it. I play once every 2–3 days just to complete the tasks…
I like Moscow, but I barely see those maps (BR1-3!). I skip battles until I draw Moscow (but I skip defense too). That’s the consequence of removing campaign and forcing us to participate in campaigns we’re not interested in. GJ DF/Gaijin. Lately my desertion rate is probably 80% or more. I don’t know what’s going on with this game. Defense is usually a losing battle. Lately, there’s been a plague of pointless battles where the attacking team can’t capture the first point. Bots are occupying buildings, and both teams have 0 rally points (except for mine)! The -20% penalty is the developer’s stupidity… And if someone comes up with the idea of -1000 credits for desertion, I will stop playing like in WT.
Typical battle. Often, after capturing first point, team stops. Maybe 1 on 15 battles are enjoyable for both sides (regardless of the final result)! Most are not worth participating in.
I am right there with you. I stopped grinding rank for the first time in years this last BP. This one is the same. I could give two shits about that 20% versus playing a crap match. There are a lot of crap matches. The AI not doing shit is exactly the problem. The bots all standing out of the capture zone while the Defense AI acts like a gang of laser snipers. This and getting rid of gold orders show how out of touch the developers are.
