For the last 'x' amount of matches I've played, I've constantly, as a T1. R3 player, been put in matches with T2 R6 and unranked players. Great. Really hard matches. High probability of losing due to level difficulty and of course, team mates going into battle with effectively a cocktail stick to damage the enemy.
So, I purchased Ginebra. The next mission had a blueprint in it, my only of the day. I didn't want to use her, because I had a feeling it'd be a hard match with no weapon built to 10, for my rank. However, I knew, overwhelmingly that the other players, whom I have a high build for, should I use them, there'd be a 99% chance I'd get a duplicate weapon, as this has happened to me, every time I've done a BP mission. Even though I have one BP with the character and need two, it'll always give me a duplicate - waste of time.
So, the mission chosen was the first one, 'Hanging By A Thread'. And lo and behold what do I see? A T1 R1 Mikah, a T1 R2 Sooma and an unranked Hans. I choose Ginebra and the game starts. Immediately Mikah quits. Yes, our highest ranked player, who pushed up the level of difficulty quits. BOOM! Yes, I have a thread saying that people are free to quit, but there's a COLOSSAL DIFFERENCE between being stuck in a game as the only T1, high ranking player and a bunch of T2, R6 and unranked.
So, the player then leaves, playing on PC not allowing me the opportunity to tell him/her how much they've now pretty much destroyed our chances. Great and the enemy pour in. The first part was hectic. We were literally swarmed by Hades and we just scraped through, lost quite a few lives and Licus Dion's health was literally hanging on about 3%.
The next section starts and it's, in a word chaos. Wardogs pouring all over the place. Elites knocking everyone down to low health. Amazingly the Hans' although dieing was really holding his own and incredibly impressed for an unranked player, firing a pellet gun. Sooma and I were running around like devils possessed. Even though I had a 0 weapon build, my crossbow was doing 200+ criticals to groups of enemies. I was holding my own. Our shuttle went back twice for Aleph and we survived.
Then just before we clear the passage to the elevator, the deserter Mikah shows up (now it wasn't a game error, she left as there were no connection problems) roughly about 15 mins after the start. She starts to help and dies and myself and Sooma make it into the elevator, two dead, can't be revived as Cortez is off getting aleph.
We then go into the last section on sudden death. We get to about 60% generator before Hans is taken out by a super aleph elite. He played exceptionally well, considering the match difficulty was at 40%. He'll have been around 3% I should imagine.
Mikah ruined our chances and I lost my only BP for the day. The only chance and I'm in a match with high level players, every other one low. I died, of course I did, but I think the total was around 5. Hans was taking the most punishment and certainly 85% of the deaths were his. However, given the situation it was perfectly acceptable.
Had this been a pre 2nd July update match, that BP would have been mine, as I'd have just replayed until I won.
I'm getting sick and tired of constantly low level matches and then when it's one that counts and I could do with a low level, you put me in with high ranking raiders.
There is NO CALL WHATSOEVER, as a T1 R1 players, to quit with a T1 R2 & R3 player in your team, regardless of an unranked player and I had a Ginebra with a Build 0 weapon. 3 of us made it through almost 2/3rd's of the game on our own. We would have done it easily had you stuck around.
You're also blocked now. Any time you show up in a game I quit. Let's see how you like it from now on.
