joining in progress

Dear 343,
Thank you for the legendary WZ XP boost. I love getting to use these reqs. Especially when I join a game in progess… Which so happens to always be the losing team. Glad to know I have hardly any reqs available to help make a difference with the 2 minutes and 43 seconds remaining in the game.

Your biggest fan,
Everyone who has experiences this

Yes joining in progress can be frustrating and its even worse when the game is nearly over. I personally think that there should be a certain cut off time for joining in progress. For example if the game is 3/4 of the way over you shouldn’t be able to join in progress, or at least not have it count as a loss. At least you get your boost back if the requirements aren’t met.

yeah, its just one of those things that makes me grind me teeth. Ita no big deal with an uncommon boost…but when I play that legendary and lose it cuz I played for 3 minutes while we defended a base helplessly…that sucks…as rare as legendary boosts are

I haven’t been that unlucky when using boosts. I think the main source of req point from a match is playtime. However, I don’t exactly know how the boosts work. I think maybe a % increase on how much points you did gain.

well a boost is a set number as far as I can’t tell. But you don’t get any extra performance XP. I’d rather get 8,000 XP from a 10 minute game that I can actually enjoy and contribute than join a slaughterhouse for 3 minutes and get 3,000. Sure points per minute are alright, but I’m not trading that for a terrible gameplay experience. I spent $100 on h5 for the gameplay experience. Not reqs.

the worst part is when you use a legendary xp boost and join in progress and you lose one minute after.

They’re kind of walking a tightrope on this one. People want join in progress to fill in gaps when people quit, which makes sense. On the other side of the coin you have this issue. Kind of a tough one to resolve.

How about a feature that gives you the option to join an in-game progress or continue to search? in addition, an in-game progress that actually have a live score and bases captured and shows you the team your joining? it might be too much to ask but im saying this because not all join in progress are bad. I’ve joined games where im in the wining team way ahead of the loosing team.
