So Slaughter Rules aren't working? (reply)

But they don't work outside of that group? I've joined that game--now that's on my record, and if I didn't fuck off the second I joined, that loss would've been on there. Hell, it might be on there, anyway!

POST EDIT: IT FUCKING IS.

I now have a permanent dip in all of my stats simply because of when I pressed 'a'. That's not right.

Slaughter rules don't always make necessities either. I was once with a team on Skirmish, I believe. We kicked their asses up and down the line, and decided to stay. The next game, they beat us! The score was closer, but still. Skill isn't everything-sometimes, good people have bad days and vice versa.

That makes WAYYY more sense... (reply)

I was with you RC. I thought by "dissolve" that they would literally just end the game like a mercy rule. All players would dissolve into space bits and return to matchmaking... But now I get it. Those people all get disseminated back to matchmaking instead of sticking together

Oh... (reply)

That's only what matchmaking does does after game end (reply)

I don't think Bungie is addressing joining into lost-cause games. At least they haven't spoken of it as far as I remember, my guess is they are putting resources elsewhere and letting that go.

From the BWU:

If one team is grossly under-performing, the session is dissolved in favor of matchmaking

How much more gross can it get than 18k to 400?

I'm pretty sure that's after the game ends.

I was just doing the Control Bounties(Capture 10 Zones, Play 5 games) and decided to go into matchmaking to continue. The game finds a match and I warp jump through the galaxy, ending up on Mars. The screen can't even fade in yet, and all I hear is the alarm. Y'know, the one that signifies that the enemy has all capture zones?

My Guardian is teleporting in, I look down at the corner--EIGHTEEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TO FOUR HUNDRED.

Fuck no.

Oh, fuck no.

And I mean, FUCK no.

While I'm holding Y to get out, I hear Shaxx:

"You're not dead yet, Guardian! Pick it u--"

Uh-uh. Fuck that. You out of your mind?

Bungie. Come on, man. Your system needs a little more discretion and objectivity than that. There's close matches, there's recent drop-outs, and then there's lost causes.

Seriously.
