Bad_Horsie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Apologies if this has been spoken about already. I never gave this much thought until last night. There was an alert which still had plenty of time to go so I clicked to join. When I spawned there was only one player and he/she had just about finished. I wasn't sure what to do or if my quiting would effect the game negitively for them so I headed to the extraction point with them but I felt like a real prick. They had done all the hard work and I had jumped in during the last minutes and got the reward with them. I didn't even get the chance to apoligise to them afterwards which made me feel worse. It would be nice to be able to say "Hey! Sorry. Heres what I got. Take it!" Is that even possible? Personally I don't care if someone pops up half way though one I'm doing but I suspect it may annoy others. I've had people pop in just when I needed help. So what are peoples thoughts? DE Are there any plans on limiting when a new player can join a current mission? Say once a mission is 3/4 done no new players can join. Instead the new player(s) get a message saying they have to wait and will start as soon as the current mission is finished. I gather this could effect alerts but my understanding was aslong as you click accept before the time runs out you still get in. Is that wrong? Not being a programmer I don't know if it's possible or too resouce hungry to implement in a cost effective manner. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA347612890GT4078579132R Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 There already is a system, that needs some work, but it prevents new players from joining once the main objective has been completed. If they were really "almost done" as in on the way to extraction, you shouldn't have been able to join, unless the system is broke. Which is also possible.

Xoxile Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I don't don't think it's a bother. You got a free win. They weren't expecting anyone to join at a certain point. Besides the number of enemies scales with the number of players so it's not like he/she was pulling dead weight the whole mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vabla Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's already limited. You used to be able to join at extraction even. Join - 3 steps - get reward The problem is you can't reliably gauge how close to objective completion one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
