Make it so we are aware if a game is in progress or not. I dont like wasting my time in Q to join a losing game.
Maybe give players who accept the Q of an in-progress game a small token of conquest for compensation.
Or, add a little checkbox next to the Q that says " fresh games only" i would check that box even if it made my Q longer.
so sick and tired of waiting 10 mins in Q to join a losing game with 2 mins left… so lame
Honestly I’d be content with getting some priority on my next que if I joined an in progress game.
I’ve been just declining que’s that pop to quickly, it’s not always something bad but normally is. Fresh game only que’s though would likely harm bg participation if you could expect nearly every game to end after the first team fight. It kind of already feels that way sometimes but bg closures would skyrocket.
If a game last less then time waited in que though 100% should be given priority on new game.
right? like some kind of compensation for literally screwing us lol
if there was a harsher punishment than 15 minutes the weak constitution players who normally afk might have to actually try and backfills wont happen.
Account wide deserter that ticks down while online only would be a good start. Had a guy in IOC mention that he has 8 toons he cycles through, so afk’ing was no big deal.
Before I hear “blame the premades, not the afk’ers”, I am 100% certain that the team that loses first team fight in an honest 40 pug vs. 40 pug bg will lose a significant portion of their team to afk. For some reason, folks feel like first fight will determine outcome everytime. EVERY bg can be turned around after first loss.
finally someone who can have an opinion without feelings influencing it. thank you sir.
For some reason?
Premade raids have taken over epic bgs during prime time and they’ve hammered into pugs that there’s very little chance that things will turn around after the first fight.
It’s extremely unlikely that pugs will turn things around against a premade raid.
With the prevalence of premade raids, pugs aren’t going to stick around to try to figure out if they’re facing a premade raid or not.
It’s not like there’s a flashing yellow sign saying, “In this bg, you’re not facing a premade raid. This match is actually an honest 40 pug vs. 40 pug battle!”
Give extra honor / conquest for joining games in progress.
The interaction I mentioned happened at 10am est time. I know that wasn’t your point. I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but every loss can’t be blamed on premades. My other point was that now people afk out to “value their time” while simultaneously sending the backfiller into the wood chipper. Starting a bg against a premade is bad, backfilling into a bg against a premade is worse.
Edit: I am on board with this
Or they can ban you scummy cheaters so people don’t have to deal with unfair games.
Incorrect the afk and quitting out only started getting bad when premade’s became such a problem. It’s the premade’s.
There are premade’s running almost constantly… it’s a premade problem stop trying to punish legit players that are tired of scumbag cheaters…
Yea, how dare these cowards not want to be farmed for MY honor and conquest I earn by exploiting the game. Don’t they care how this makes me feel?
What about the people who quit out of wsg when they go down 0-1? Listen, I am not a fan of premades either, but if blizzard refuses to do anything about them, and “There are premade’s running almost constantly…” why queue up then? When you afk, you are also punishing the person that has to take your place.
You can’t be serious… Don’t play the game you pay to play because of cheaters and if you do suffer through the stomping these cheaters are doing or else you should be punished… that’s your argument.
No, my argument is don’t pay for a game that you refuse to play.
People can’t play because of cheaters… so people shouldn’t play a game they love because of cheaters?
if cheating is that rampant, and your choices are lose to cheaters or don’t play, what should you do?
Well then you won’t have anyone to play against, will you. So let it happen.
You should advocate for those cheaters to be removed…
