What is the penalty for leaving a match?
on: October 20, 2017, 06:42:49 PM
I just loaded into a match that was a black screen. I had to restart the game. It asked me to reconnect to the match, but when I loaded into the match I was stuck beneath the map and couldn't do anything. I restarted and the same thing happened. Luckily I'm still below 20 stigmas so I didn't lose any.

  • Raider as of 6/10, if that means anything.

From what I know, leaving completely counts as a loss on your record and penalizes you accordingly. As a raider, it would also mean not getting end-match rewards.
Since your under 20 stigmas, I imagine it would just affect your antag elo (if that exists).

It's happening again now lol. I can't move off the starting point. I've restarted the game twice but no dice. I'm just gonna stay in the match and see what happens. Hopefully when they move to next area it'll fix itself.

Good to hear. It would suck to be penalized and lose stigmas because of a bug. Oh and welcome :D

I still think players quitting out early out of matches as Raiders 'should' get some penalty because it is seriously excessive how often I see it. I get people are impatient and bail if there is even the slightest chance of failure but seriously... even failing you get something but if you leave you get absolutely nothing and screw your whole team pretty royally by costing them at 'least' one life each transition. Be warned if you do this to me I will Block you and never play with you again no matter how new you are and I suggest others do the same.
