Thread: Unable To Join Certain Games
#1
Hey guys,
I was just chatting with the programmer working on this. The deal is that you get the "game is not allowing players to join" message when that game is most of the way done. The intention is to keep people from getting into a game where you are just going to have to spend all your time running to catch up and likely will be over by the time to get to the end.
Why is it that you want to join a map that is mostly over?

Miners luck is expensive! Gotta milk it for the drops!
I guess the days of guild farming are over....
Yeahhh the end of season farming is over i guess more player not be able to buy enchancer and they like to switch alt coz is save enchancer therefore dev n geng sts return back the previous screen all player will be happy inculding me,because when we run to dungeon 5 player inside to play suddenly other 3 log out or dc and we going to finish n trying to kill boss but you know if 2 or 3 player cannot kill the boss and need help our friends cannot get in to help so this thing sts must look on this matter, please change the program
Coz ppl can clear a map, but cant handle a (mini)boss. We get many requests in guild to help out, if it were only with miner.
And why would u dont want to join a game which isnt finished? Doesnt seem logic to me denying acces to some legit game time. Many proceed to next map anyway, there loss if they are too late, being late isnt a crime.
It breaks the game.

To answer your question, many reasons, but first and foremost 51% is not "mostly over".
People want to join a game late because:
They were there but got disconnected.
Xp grinders joined, picked up the bulk of the xp then abandoned the map leaving one or two people that want to finish the map that can't because nobody else can join.
People can't hang for whatever reason and leave the instance, again it kills the game run of that instance.
People want to join pugs late to maximize a miners enhancer
People want to join late to help their friends when they find they have bitten off more than they can chew.
people sometimes want to fight a boss and not fight a bunch of no xp giving mobs. Sometimes just the boss is a quick bit of fun.
My ideas to correct are not the solution. This whole thing of blocking late joiners is a negative that needs to be changed back the way it was. Tearacan is right.
To me the explanation of the problem that is being addressed of late joiners doesn't make sense.
there are locks and boots, there is a status bar on the game selection menu to see the progress of a game.
Content is king. raise the cap and people will buy xp enhancers again.
If people are grinding there are less people farming (i.e less people on the lower maps joining late.)

Hey guys,
Thanks for your great feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how you feel and why.
The team is in the process of changing the join screen functionality back to allow people to join games that are in the list. The list will not display zones that are completed and zero population (just closing out).
How about fixing PvP game map?
It's really annoying..
Some can join the game after leaving the game and can join back ANY Time
And some Can't! Now, Why is that?
Hope it fixes this one too..
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Play as if it's your last.Because in the End, You will face Judgement
