Loving H4’s Infinity Slayer, but my only gripe is not being able to turn off this option to auto-join a game that’s already in progress.
Would anyone else like the option of turning this off and only join a new game at start?
Yes.
there should be two choices when you want to play war games. Start New Game or Join Game In-Progress. That way you can pick and choose anytime. If you are worried about people not wanting to join in progress if they have a choice, then offer some incentive. Nothing worse then wanting to start a game and getting thrown onto a halfway finished game. And take a wild guess at which team you are on… hmmm… well usually a team who is beating the crap out of another team wont have its players quit. so yeah, that system needs to be redone.
You don’t only join games where there are leavers, the game starts matches when its 2v4 or 3v4, so obviously the team that is outnumbered will be losing. Either start the match ONLY when it is 4v4, or Join in progress will be required.
I friggin hate when the system starts 3v4, like honestly there is no sense in that
oh well thats even worse… why not just wait the extra few seconds to fill the last spot. or at the VERY LEAST only start a game once its even - say for instance in a 4v4 gametype, if there is 6, then start 3v3 and if TWO new people are added AT THE SAME TIME, one to each team, i can see that. but still its messy any way you look at it unless you fix it up completely.
At the very least there should be an option-popup or filter added so folks can actually chose whether or not they want to participate in JiP. In the popup’s case, the stats of the game-in-progress should be visible during the selection as most people don’t want to join a game that has 50 points left to go.
There just doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason with the way JiP functions. People shouldn’t be force-removed from full pre-vote lobbies and even games-in-progress to be thrown onto teams that just lost half their members due to rage-quit.
