All 3 towers are destroyed, we have 0 out of 4 vehicles. The enemy have 24 out of 24.
We have 3 minutes till we lose.
Decided to make this post instead of actually participating, as it seemed a better use of my time. We seriously need an option to opt out of joining In Progress Battlegrounds. It’s not fun to wait 10 minutes in queue to join a battle you have already lost.
Alteratively, increase the punishment for leaving with a Stacking debuff.
First Leave of the week, 30min
Second Leave of the week, 2 hours.
Third leave of the week, Locked out till weekly reset.
So in the case if you’re in a battleground that is losing slightly, where a player would drop out (in)voluntarily which would get a direct replacement and still continue the fight it may end up in a self-fulfilling prophecy where one sees another “desert” and then also decide to desert leaving an empty battleground that will not get any replacements and default win for the side that doesn’t run.
There is a reason the developers removed showing how many bosses are downed from LFR or people would just decline joining this and they were perpetually waiting for replacements. Nowadays if you join an in progress LFR and finish it, you get priority into a fresh LFR for example.
Maybe a better suggestion is if you’re finished doing an in progress BG - you will get prioritised into a fresh BG.
I understand that you can still win even if its “losing slightly” part.
The issue is when you join a bg that is literally already a loss.
Ive joined some IoC where the enemy already broke the gate and their gate are at like 80-90% with ppl already given up.
So then they would have to make it where other players cant join after a certain point of a BG otherwise it will still feel bad even if you get “priority que” afterwards.
Since id rather wait slightly longer for a fresh BG than join one thats already lost.
