Those extra long matches like this is just a double pain for mental and physical.
Very stressful. And get little fun (the whole team is relying on me) but caused me some angers. Betrayed my purpose of playing games.
My ideal round time of this kind of arcade game is ~15min. Even lose a match, but still suffers a short time. Also not that stressful at all.
I do play lots of games with ~1h round time.
Like those simulator games. Those are pure fun games that always makes me forget about time.
Also for XP boosters… It’s a curse. When I want a extra long match. But get a 10~15min quick match.
Also to dev for recent mission balance changes:
It’s unhealthy to just extend capture time thus to “balance”.
Make clear this is a arcade FPS, deliberately extending mission’s time per round is not good!
If you try to extend a mission too long. At the end of a match, win or lose is mostly depend on which side has more player not mid-quit the match.
This game’s balance… is still more on which side has more players stayed in the match, and more veterans. Not the map itself. (except extreme unbalanced maps)
Got only 2 engy point, and probably was in a tank 3/4 of the match.
Don’t piss on your teammates. Also, from what I see that match looked even = best matchs. You can go have fun in a stress free environment in custom matchs vs only bots if you want, though 🤷
It’s silly though… if you’ve already been in amatch say, 20 mins, leaving then would mean wasting 20 minutes of efforts and a good amount of xp…
I understand those disconnecting at the very beginning (disliked map, disliked game mode, too many icons etc.) Because they don’t lose anything, but after so long… ?
Aren’t those the best matchs to have, too? Powerful opponents keeping you on your toes? Uncertainty of victory? It’s much more fun than a regular effortless and boring one sided stomp…
people didnt want to waste 1 min untill the last guy was death or they dont care much about xp .
maybe they just want to play the game as it is.
not everyone cares much about the campaign xp once they own what they think its the best gear for them.
and i understand it, if we see the current level 32+ levels in normandy .
why bother my mental health over something i m sure i wont use ever… just quit and move on.
but, was “free” xp eitherway… disconnecting just to avoid a min timer its as stupid as it gets.
Sometimes you win long games. Not sure if it’s worth the headache. I got some things that will make me desert a game on the harder factions. If I see that I am up against a team of 4 players that join every game together I leave and go to other game. But if I see I got good teammates it can be fun to stay. Having to carry a team is not fun, it’s impossible if nobody is capping and we need a tanker or plane. I play tank nobody caps, I play assault nobody play tank. It’s frustrating when you see the other team has two tanks and a plane up at all times.
people leave for whatever reason they have trying to justify it and call you a dumbass.
either way, it’s no up to us. we care ( and should care ) for our selves only.
( as i roughly thinks like you. what’s the point of playing if your going to quit either way just because it’s not in your favor. sounds pretty weak to me. but whatever )
