YES. I want you to sit there and think about this for more than 5 seconds. He’s quitting matches because he cannot complete any challenges within the match. I would rather have someone in my game with no challenges to complete than someone to join that has challenges that may put my game at risk. Because a player with no challenges will simply play the game. A player that needs to get Pulse Carbine kills in slayer means we lose.
BEFORE YOU REPLY. Think about the scenario. Just really think about what I wrote. I’m sure you can grasp what I’m saying.
That’s because everyone knows it is the law. If the law was you can steal nine items and on the tenth, you are arrested, that would be made clear too. The only reason you know it is the law is because it is made clear to you.
Well if a pre-ban warning is the solution to quitters let’s make it simple and set the ban to the second game. Should improve match completion rate by a lot
I agree and that’s my takeaway from all of this. 343 must not incentivize players to specific game modes or weapon types for experience gains. Experience gains need to be tied to playing the game the right way with your team and winning. If it’s tied to specific game modes or weapons, you’re encouraging people to act outside of that because getting experience is such a grind anyways. They need to eliminate the conflict of interest.
Same way that online gamers generally know repeatedly quitting will net you a ban.
If the law was you can steal nine items and on the tenth, you are arrested, that would be made clear too
…But that wouldn’t change the hypothetical. Everyone would still know they can’t steal a specific volume of items without being told by a clerk prior to them stealing the 10th item. It would be common knowledge in the same way that everyone knows repeatedly leaving matches in an online game will get you banned.
The only reason you know it is the law is because it is made clear to you.
This dude knew that repeatedly leaving would eventually land him a ban. This is ubiquitous in online gaming.
You clearly don’t care about us when you do this. Why would I ever even consider wanting you on my team over an actual “teammate”? If they were ever to lower penalties, they better give me an option to block selfish individuals from ever becoming teammates from me again in future matches.
You gotta think about more then just yourself when you play a team oriented game. It sucks, at least for now, but just quitting when you don’t get what you want is very unhealthy for the game. Imagine finally getting a game mode you finally want to complete a challenge, and now your teammates all quit because it’s not what they wanted. Now you’re stuck with what you need, but screwed over by bad teammates.
This exactly. You said it better. This is a GAME, it should be fun. Playing every game to win and completing challenges at the same time should be a natural progression. Instead I have to choose between being a good teammate or hiding in a corner waiting to get a friendly zone kill for the 10th time, or quit after 10 consecutive oddball matches.
Also, I understand the hatred towards quitters. There NEEDS to be a BAN HAMMER. I was 100% for this in Halo 5. The difference here is that the current challenge system incentives quitting. Also, this is a video game, not the law. Quitting isn’t illegal. Don’t try and equate the two.
In social? Not in the least. I rather have people who quit and make room for others who do want to play then i’m being forced to play someone who doesn’t want to play and therefore are just hiding in a corner or deliberately giving away kills to end the match quicker.
And if everyone knew that you couldn’t leave exactly ten games, they wouldn’t need to be told prior to leaving the tenth. I’m not suggesting you tell them on the 9th game, I’m saying we need to explicitly state to players when the “law” is broken and not make it vague.
Yeah I mean maybe if we could just play the modes we want like in the shooters released 10 and 20+ years ago this wouldn’t even be an issue. Like I’m sorry but I don’t have the time or patience to play 30 matches of stronghold just to get one match of my preferred game mode. Just outright removing features like playlists from a game and then asking players to be grateful BeCaUsE iTs FrEe is toxic behaviour on the part of 343. I’m just not willing to be forced to play modes that I don’t find fun, I will either just stop playing for the day or be temp banned from leaving the matches, it sucks but that’s the state of the game unfortunately.
No, the game shouldn’t have to warn you about your punishment (unless it’s like a perma-ban sort of thing), you should be aware of this, that quitters run the risk of getting a time-out, you shouldn’t be quitting up until the game threatens you, you just shouldn’t be quitting.
Now I do agree and I feel your pain when it comes to the challenge system, I’ve done the exact same thing you did, I (and I reckon most everyone else too) knows what you’re going through and how you feel. They should change and fix that, yes.
But at the same time, the game shouldn’t have to threaten you to stay in the game, or warn you that you’re excessively quitting and you’ll be punished, there should be a point where you just play a few games and then if if’s something you literally can’t tolerate, then back out, not continuedly back out until you get what you want.
