i have some times experienced trolls joining during co-op, just to leave before the game starts, sending me back to the lobby and giving me a leaver penality. leaver penality means that i do not get any experience for the rest of the day. it does not help that my other profiles is locked out of starcraft 2 for trying to evade leaver penality. as it currently is: the trolls can just keep joining and leaving all day. the best way to deal with this leaver penality is to suspend the offending player for a day, that will punish the trolls more severily than other players.
Wait there’s a leaver penalty? I left a lot of games before was gaining XP just fine on the next game.

yep, more like your the troll, there is no leaver penalty. Just played 4 games, played the first 2 left the 3rd and played the 4th and got exp for the 4th. Go back to school and learn how the game works before making a thread about something that dont exist
Just to make sure… you’re in the correct place? Coop mode/forums? Any chance you’re talking about Versus/Ladder (or perhaps another game really)? I have never heard of this “leaver penalty”, so if you can show us screenshots of this, I’d like to know!
Also, devs won’t really do anything for this game nor mode. There’s no one around really.

also never heard of team mate leaving the game causes you to leave either. Are you maybe playing some special coop maps on arcade or something cause its not like coop even has a lobby either, that sounds more like some arcade mode game.

It looks like this thread is a roundabout way of suggesting a leaver penalty vs there actually being one.
Normally I would agree with this for competitive team games, but this game splits resources when people leave. I’ve seen games were 2 people left and the remaining 2 won.
coop ray, not teams. which you of all people should know coop best seeing as you post about the mutas every weak among other stuff coop related. but what he sounds like hes talking about is an arcade mode coop thing instead of the norm.
I was aware. Resources split in coop too. However if there such a leave penalty then it should only be for the first person who left.
SCO exists is it possible that you are just uber toxic and are on a bunch of other player’s lists? also Leaver Penelty is just a cooldown on reading up for the next game. It only happnes if you leave during the game launch. If you leave in game there is zero repercussion (THANK GOD).
Resources are not split
the leaver penality is now worse. i left a game yesterday, after my team member let me down and now i am locked out of future games. at least this change should stop the trolls but, how long does it last?
you think that’s bad i get in game near the end and my own allies attack me.
I’ve only encountered TKers probably 2 or 3 times in 1270 ascention (not counting the playful TKing that happens after the mission is already won). If you are running into them enough to post about it twice, I have to wonder…

i have not encountered them a lot. the worst problem is players that join co-op and then leaves while it is loading. that results in one of 2 things: 1: i can keep playing alone or 2: the game returns to menu. i once had a team member that was mostly AFK too. i had to complete the mission on my own. i did manage to however, though it left me kind of drained. a good AFK penality is to get kicked out of the game after a few minuttes of inactivity(0 clicks).

Agreed. Thats pretty annoying. Though rare. I also hate when you run into someone who is kinda bossy or is just mean about something.
when a player leaves all of their resources are automatically transferred to all remaining allies in a game evenly. In coop since theres only one other player they get 100% of the split. Other than that the only forms of resource sharing are scrap drops for H&H and Kerrigans resource assimilation aura. So if they weren’t talking about any of those 3 things I’m not sure what they meant.
it is not entirely correct. when a player leaves, the resources is merged to one pool.
