ThirdDementor Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hey everyone. Title speaks for itself. I don't mean 5 seconds before the match starts, but rather when there's still 40-60 seconds. Is that generally considered acceptable? Does it give the team enough time to get a replacement? I mean, I haven't done it so far, but when the warzone queue pops, I click accept, and I see the dreaded loading screen of Quesh Huttball, I really, really want to.

Ridickilis Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yes, in fact I'd consider it more courteous than A) staying and not really doing much/deathmatching because you're just not into it or B) waiting a minute and then leaving just as it's about to start.

Raansu Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 If its during the countdown? I don't see an issue with it. Chances are you will get replaced before the match starts....unless its like the middle of the night or something. I do it sometimes for hypergate since I hate that map with an extreme passion. I'll play the map most of the time, but sometimes I get that one map 3 or 4 times in a row and I usually start leaving it if I see the map more than once as once is usually all I can tolerate of the map.

ThirdDementor Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 That's great to hear. Thanks, guys One other question, then. How exactly do I do it? I mean, is there a specific button to press, or do I simply log out? And if I log out, won't I be in the warzone when I relog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianDmitruk Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 It's a lot more tolerable for warzones (8v8) than for arenas (4v4). If you leave an arena, even the second you zone in, there is a HIGH probability that your backfilled replacement will not be able to play the first round, as loading in even a second or so after the round starts is automatically counted as a death. However there is a certain statistically significant and vocal population who refuses to play any arenas whatsoever (and their reasons are at least somewhat valid), and Bioware's utter refusal to give arenas their own queue means those of us who backfill for the auto-arena-quitters are stuck with their autodeaths.

ThirdDementor Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Oh, I don't mind arenas. I'm not familiar with the reasons people dislike them, so I don't really have much context. But for me they're short and fun. Or at the very least, short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneSputnik Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Leaving before the match starts is completely fair. I'm often waiting until the last few second before joining - call me crazy but I like all the warzones - and dropped in when a match has just started. What I find lousy, and I'm certainly not alone, is people leaving when they see their team losing. Last night we were getting smashed in Civil War, as in the enemy had 2 turrets in 1 minute and all 3 in less than 5. I counted at least 3-4 players dropping out. *sigh* thanks for being a decent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do somewhat agree; most who bail do so far too quickly, but it really depends *how* you're losing as well though Hotly contested mid where the other team is clearly stronger/more coordinated doesn't bother me as much. Even though it's most likely a loss it can still be fun if we're all still pushing to at least try and take it back from them. We may actually learn something about ourselves. Getting three capped as you describe because 3 people went to our off-node and 2 people went to their off node which left just 3 of us at mid to get slaughtered in short order. Our three geniuses that went to our off node all left it undefended and proceeded to go under mid to their off node right after our two over there got killed. Then our three lose a 2 v 3, still not taking it, while some stealther simply walked up and capped it undefended. Now we're three capped. I look at the map, no one is near anything, they're just randomly scattered about the map... sorry but I'm gone at that point. Just not worth the frustration. I can deal with people on my team that are under skilled, they just need more practice. What I can't deal with is nab behavior such as the one I made up above.

Caid_Baraka Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 You can figure out what queue poped with a little prep work. I use this to avoid arenas without having to load and drop them. Use the who search box and add the following: 55 pit civil void novar hyper orbital square canyon arena You can replace 55 with 10-29 or 30-54 to get the other tiers. Keep the whole thing in your clipboard and you can just ctrl+v to paste it in the who search as you load screens since it doesn't save. That query will show you who's in active warzones/arenas for the given level range. Refresh the search right when you get a pop and note the names of active WZs and # of players. wait 10-20 seconds and refresh search. It should be pretty apparent after the refresh what warzone/arena is popping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I haven't done it so far, but when the warzone queue pops, I click accept, and I see the dreaded loading screen of Quesh Huttball, I really, really want to. If it is Hutt Ball (either of them) then it is perfectly fine and you might say even encouraged to leave before the match starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leave QB instantly unless I am with a group. There is no though process or consideration. I just leave. I do sometimes the same with HG, but not as much. I also leave most poorly matched arena games 4 dps vs 1 tank, 2 dps and a healer. No reason to waste your time.

Please leave before it starts... But at least a min if in Arena, because back filling there is terrible and I actually think an arena match shouldn't even start without full teams and you shouldn't be allow to leave if it has started... Really it can be the quickest pvp of all... Unless your doing Ranked... you still get comms, XP... Etc... I always laugh at people, especially healers who rage quit after the first round because they lose...what's the point ?? It doesn't effect any stats and actually gives you some thing for staying in the match even if you lose What bio should introduce is a lockout for a set period of time if you quit during a match... WoW does this and it seemed effective when I used to play... There is nothing worse than popping into matches half way through, over and over... I popped into 4 in a row yesterday... I have to say though, once those rage quitters left we won the matches... Maybe they weren't the players they thought they were I find it's usually the same people too... What I want to know is if they are great players how do they expect their teams to get better if they don't help them learn or are they just rubbish players who can't stand to lose or let anyone think they can't play... It's easy to rage quit to hide your own inadequacies as it is to leave a bad team There are only a few legit reasons to leave a match... Real life takes precedence, you DC, you have hardware/major lag issues . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
