MrWux Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Its happening more often and often since the new players and farmers arrived... We raid the boss and if it doesnt drop BP or needed resource,ppl just abort the mission and all my mods/res collected till that moment r gone...So what are your experiences and do u think that they should change this that when host aborts mission to triger host migration to another player instead of you just failing the mission?It really starts to piss me off...

Sixty5 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Fission Mailed... Solo/private play is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROteinxstack Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Fission Mailed... Solo/private play is your best bet. This is what I do and have done 100% of the time. Seems like overkill for this game to have 4 players packed into it at once. 1 or 2 is perfect IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagDollRat Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 imo its because of slugs, id stick around and run it all but they try to turn a few minute mission into a 10-20 min go :l but in my defense i almost always join sum1 elses game as too not force host quit on me dropping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems that games does drop much more stuff when u r playing with other pps instead of going alone. Yeah except T3 M.Def/Def missions everything is pretty much soloable...

Naftal Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I've recently failed a lot of mobile defenses and normal defenses without enemies attacking or even being near the objective. It's happened in solo games and while being either a host or a client in online games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farming is boring as hell and people only prologue it because they have to kill everything before them and the boss takes twice as long to kill. This is why is takes people hours to get what they want. They are far too busy chatting and killing everything and taking too long to kill the boss.

Perseco Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Perhaps if they add a new matchmaking option so you can set a limit on the quit rate... then people who quit or fail more than 5% of their missions won't be able to join you...

direcyphre Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Being able to host the game instead of randomly doing so would be a more direct way to prevent mission failures of that particular variety. If others quit, they just leave the game instead of abandoning the mission entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's stupid....People quitting or leaving you to fight the swarms they rush past has an effect on that %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Sounds more like bugs. Missions don't fail because the host migrates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neKroMancer Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Personally, I don't think private/friend/solo are good solutions. Game design should force the player to finish the objective and get to extraction. There are no other alternatives, imo. Problem with the current method is the fact that when the host doesn't see anything dropped from the boss, he quits. Leaving his teammates to their fate within the Host migration abyss. A permanent solution should be giving BP as end of mission reward instead of drop. If you don't get to extraction, you won't know whether you get it or not. Simple solution.

There's actually a study about this where players felt they were rewarded far more when they saw the boss physically drop an item rather than getting it at the end of a mission.

And thats y,when boss drops nothing they instantly leave... So one solution takes to another problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
