Please implement a sort of leaver penalty for the Blunderville lobby

[Khryseis_Astra]

Or how about we ask them to fix the netcode/server tick instead ?

Yeah that sounds better.

If people want 1 people lobbies it's because that event is atrocious due to all the issues with netcode and server tick, and that you need 100 wins for the achievement.

Blame SE.

Agreed… I don’t even want the hundred wins achievement. I just want to win once! lol I got all the rewards days ago! But between the awful snapshotting, the waiting for the lobbies whether people are leaving or not, waiting to leave after being eliminated and people using mod cheats, I’m seriously thinking it’s not happening unless I luck into a solo lobby at some point. Because the time commitment isn’t worth the amount of frustration…

When is the best time to get a solo lobby? I see so many people getting them without even trying, but the lowest instance I ever had was 8 people and I was trying to do it late at night on a weekday! lol

Maybe they should punish the people who leave and rejoin by putting them in a lobby by themselves.

[Fyrebrand]

I don't know if it's possible, I guess it depends if they can set different conditions for whether you leave the lobby versus leaving the actual match. People need to be able to leave once they get disqualified, and they shouldn't get penalized for that. If they can actually penalize people who rapidly join/leave the lobby, then yeah, by all means hammer 'em. Give them an hour penalty, for all I care. It's screwing over the rest of us by messing with our group numbers, and if we wind up with fewer that 24 players we all get fewer points for our time.

sure , lets blame the customer

I mean, if the customer is exploiting an online game to get an advantage over others, then yeah. I blame them for that. Square Enix should not be let off the hook for all the flaws in the game and in this event, but that doesn't justify players in doing whatever the heck they want to abuse an already bad system.

So those people that are suffering from the heavy server tick issues and from the netcode more than others (people not close to the servers) should just accept they basically dont have any chance to win and move on with their lives ?

Nah.

What people are doing, getting solo lobbies, is SE's fault, not the players.

Everyone should have an equal chance to win a time limited event, right now they do not.

[Canadane]

It's not like it makes the waiting lobbies go on forever.
Be prepared to wait the full 2ish minutes every time.

Once again, blame SE if people need solo lobbies to get their win.

Every game is about ~~10 minutes, and there's 1 winner out of 24 people, it's not enjoyable especially when on top of that it's unfair due to netcode and server tick issues.

I don't think I ever didn't blame SE.
It's very much a problem they've made for themselves.

[Wolwosh]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't they do the same with Ocean Fishing after a while?
People would go for certain conditions and if it didn't happen or did they'd leave the boat and try again on another in the same time window.
I don't think you can do that anymore.

[Kaurhz]

Or they can do both.

[Oizen]

There is no real netcode/server tick issue in Blunderville.

There is real netcode/server tick issues in the entire game.
