2wentyThre3 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 For days in a row now (more commonly in these days than over my years of play) I have encountered groups that leave after the initial wave of Arbitration. They made a platinum sale and have to leave, others leave with them. They die within the initial 5min run, feel bad or embarrassed or w/e and leave. They just aren't in the mood anymore... I would have no issue with this whatsoever, except we, I, need to wait another hour to play again. Honestly it's getting to the point where it just feels bad. No one player should have so much power over another's play time. Especially over a game mode we had to spend time to unlock and have to wait for. I'm not calling for punishment of those players. I'm not calling for a mandatory play time once in the mission. Although there is possibly some merit to both of those solutions too... But, can we just delete the timer? have it on 20 or 30mins instead so the fill time after an abandoned run doesn't feel nearly as egregious as it does now? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDM774 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 how about they just make it so the mission doesn't go away on "completion" so you can play again in cases of "start and run after first rotation" situations. And keep the rotation of mission types to the 1 hour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played Arbitration for a couple of years. Does it boot everyone if the host leaves now? As far as the main topic goes, I think it would probably be fine if the mission just stayed up for the whole hour rather than disappearing once a round is completed.

CrownOfShadows Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Like a lot of game modes, such as the Circuit or any endless mission, interception ESPECIALLY, one player leaving tends to start a cascade where everyone just tosses in the towel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it doesn't kick you but it makes backfill highly unlikely or just plain impossible depending on the round and gimps the run should people have wanted to go for an hour or W/e else. It's just a plain pain in the backside. As Crown above me mentioned, it starts a cascade effect more often than not. Even if you were okay with plugging on with 3 people just throw in the towel removing the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes Both Ways other player's aren't obligated to keep playing longer then they wanted for Your sake. Either use LFG to get an organized group with agreed duration and strategies, or only play Public under the assumption that you might end up Solo. Stop expecting to be Carried just for queuing up. No one owes anyone anything in Public Matchmaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownOfShadows Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 So there was some bonuses on an arbitration that made me raise an eyebrow just now... and I was like, heck, haven't played an Arbitration in forever, so I got into it. It was a disruption on Lua. Got through the first 4 conduits, round 1. One guy left. Another guy died and then left immediately after. Thanks for showing up guys -_- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one owes anyone anything in Public Matchmaking. This is Warframe. We pride ourselves in our community and we always have. After your 5000+ posts I'd of thought that would have been apparent. I just want to take the time to say your attitude toward me in your post was unnecessary. If you'd like to respond to me in a less accusatory tone and not make assumptions of what my skill level may be - Oh, and actually discuss my post. I'll happily speak to you. If the next post is like your last, don't mind if I reserve the right to ignore you. Telling me who you think I am without knowing me... bit silly really. In short - Game mode needed to be unlocked. Game mode implies a stay longer than normal missions to grind an middle to endgame resource. Game mode locks out if left. Game mode becomes less fruitful with less people. Game mode should have a lesser lock out timer or no timer at all so that individuals who wanted to stay are not punished by others leaving. This would allow a near seamless transition from mission to mission, IMO. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR31 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 What about making MM possible until a rota C for every endless mode? It would fix so many early leave problems imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
