Starbit Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I joined a game where the host was lagging. Enemies were standing still and yet I got hit. After a while, I died. Game asks me if I want to revive or forfeit. Since there's no timer to choose one of the 2 I decided to just sit and wait for the rest to clear the map. This effectively meant that no one can join to take my spot. Now, I know that revives get renewed daily but as a beta tester, I have to emulate possibilities. Turns out that the host dies after 5 minutes. Nobody revives him. He starts calling others bad and the usual stuff then leaves the game. Game reloads since there's a host migration. I somehow end up being alive with the others. We complete the mission. Still counts as a victory. Is this supposed to be working right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good show sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherbniz Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Great find! So a rehost will revive fallen players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbit Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) If so, why didnt he said: I decided to just sit and look what happens to the ui if I dont do anything..... Because that wouldn't induce the emotions I intend to. Also, I mentioned in the OP that as a beta tester I have to emulate possibilities. Mentioning it twice would be redundant. Or so I thought.

Tvol Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 That probably isn't intended behaviour. I've been through host migrations after a host crashed and people who were down were still down, and if you forfeit you can't rejoin the session without being dead so...yeah, I'd call that a bug.

LJ6580 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Host migration is still wacky. If a boss goes stealth and doesn't come out? Tell the host to leave. Someone died early and doesn't have a respawn? Tell the host to leave. It's simple since if you're friends, he can just right back off you. Thank god this one time the host left when me and my friend got screwed by a boss that was glitched, fixed him right up. -LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regicidaal Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 If you die just revive yourself if you can and if you dont wanna revive or if you cant just already i hate noobs like you that just wait for others to clear the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetal Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 @Regicidaal I understand it's not preferred behavior, but because of how the game treats it, it's beneficial behavior to the player. For those that want to get ahead, it would be stupid not to do it. Granted, I usually just...don't die..but for those that do, I could see this making sense.
