Leaderboard issue and people quiting becoming a serious game breaker....

Posted by electricfuneralfire on Jan 2, 2013 9:32 PM

Ive said many times on here that this issue isnt a game breaking issue and that I still enjoyed the game. The thing is I seriously cant get a good game in. Every night I literally try time and time again to get in a good game. Everytime someone quits out. I cant even make it into the 20's anymore without someone quitting.

 

I havnt had a good game in over a month and that is the truth. Im telling you my last 200 games ive played someone has quit. If someone doesnt believe it is really that bad for me (which im sure from peoples own experience they do believe it) I urge them to add me as a friend and watch all my games in theater that are still there. It wouldnt even be hard, put it in fast foward and by round 12 someone quits beside the VERY rare game when they last till 15-20.

 

If I had been into the 40's or 50's on all the maps (besides solo) it probably wouldnt be that big of a deal. But right now im really trying for high rounds and I cant even get a chance to get there.

 

I know it helps playing with friends but tha tis not the answer becasue that can only do so much. I mean how many people on here have 3 friends ready to go at all times? I can hardly ever find 1 and its not for lack of effort.

      Its true I don't think the hardcores should be punished for randoms droping out by round 10

    I definitely agree that this is a major issue, it is nearly impossible to get a group of 4 to stay for an entire game unless you are starting with a party of 4. Almost more annoying for me is in the Grief game mode, when the host of the game dash boards. I think of my last 5 games of Grief it has happened 4 times, resulting in losses to all players still in the game. I am not sure what it is about ruining the experience for everyone else that appeals to so many these days.

    Yeah Solo is really all I play anymore, it is pretty sad when someone quits or times out after putting in a few hours into a game just to put your money back in the bank.

     

    A good game can take several hours and if someone bails 2-3 hours in your fuckin screwed. You don't have the time to start another game if you have places to be in life the next day.

     

    Solo can be paused for weeks, and no quitters.

        If you are on Ps3 make the lobby, when it doesn't work stay in lobby log out of PSN.

        Immediately sign back in, make a new solo lobby. Begin. I have to do this %80 of the time.

    Yea, I think ive only ever had one or two full games with 4 players on tranzit so my highest round shows at 24 I think. But I have been higher than 24 in allot of games recently but people leave. Round 45 or around that on Nuketown (6 hour game), my second time on the map but again someone left in the early rounds. I have not been on Nuketown since because I know that ill never get that far again and the leaderboards say that ive never been on Nuketown. Absolute joke. Glitch or on purpose they need to listen to the community and fix/change the system.

    Ya, I have only played Nuketown only a handful of times because of quitters. 

    Jug comes randomly and since so many of these randoms can't handle the rounds without it, they just quit.

     

    Tranzit is also ruined by quitters since it takes time and money to get everyone set up.

    I don't know how many times I have turned on power, taken money out the bank, bought all perks, pap 2 weapons and then some jackass quits.

    I was able to play all the way up to 33 a few days ago with randoms, but my playstation froze which is a shame cause we were having a really good game. The point is there are people out there that don't quit (though sometimes technical problems do occur so it may seem like they are quitting) but finding them is hard.

     

    I would suggest joining a clan where you can play with people and not have to worry about them quiting. For example my clan Animal Tactics prides itself on no glitches, rage quitting or trolling. Feel free to join us if you like, I have a recruitment post here. http://community.callofduty.com/message/413839225#413839225

     

    If you ever have a problem with someone breaking clan rules please let me know and I will investigate any problems you have.

    In a game now that i started about a hour and a half ago with 4 players... I am now on my own at round 26. Why did I risk the game reviving them when they where going to leave anyway?!?! Urgghhh. This is the first time ive played zombies in a while because of these issues and back then it would be usually just one player leaving. WTF happend?

    We asked them to add search preferrences like "Mic Only" but they never added it in, also the whole custom games thing is honestly the dumbest thing ever.

    Agreed. Tranzit is a monumental waste of time until they can fix this, but shockingly treyarch are completely ignoring anything we say to them. I won't be paying for the DLC until this is fixed.

        in Farm i would use 1 on the window en 3 1 stairs ( in the shed ) or 1 guy accumulates zombies in the middle running around the truck and the rest all the way back shooting the zombies spawning from the ground.. and every round switch ''bait''. the last 1 worked good with 2 players, never tried more

    im suprised they last to round 15 most of the time people quit as soon as the game starts LITERALLY as soon as it starts and when one quits everyone quits. even when no one quits i get teamed with some noobs who gets downed twice before we even leave the bus station and quit before round ten lol like its not my fault they suck. the worst is getting some noob with a guest everysingle player with a guest i played with sucked and is gone before round 15. the worst kid of player to get teamed up with are the kind of guys who dont know how to use any of the parts and just take them and don't EVER use them. the worst is when this happens at the start so we are all stuck in the bus station til like round 5 or 6 before he figures out what to do with it or someone buys the door open. there should rely be a tutorial for some people on how to use parts and how to survive cause there are alot of noobs playing zombies

      Yeah, this is a new trend. People now quit the game as soon as it starts. =))

      I'm an hardcore fan of zombie since bo1 but I stopped playing after a month due to people quitting and the multiple bugs and crashs that ruin this game.

      That is so bad.

    Agreed.. the slow pace and spread out nature of green run almost seems to encourage quitting when playing with randoms. It's really frustrating seeing people leave the game on their first down even as you're rushing to revive them.

     

    Couldn't the leaderboards just use the same system as BO1 where it always recorded the number of players that started the game? So if you started with 4 players but by the end two had left it would still be recorded on the leaderboards as a 4 player game.

    very few people are even aware of the leaving and round problem i spoke to a guy with shotguns and he seemed shocked when i told him, i then asked how he got the shotguns 'playing survival mainly' to which i replied 'oh makes sense, did u do it standing on ur head eating jelly from a straw' to which he laughed.

    I might be wrong about the skull theory but what happens if you play bad because of these randomers eventually u meet good people and it picks up you then have to kill 50000 more zombies just to get a knife? erm k wouldnt there be some sort of rank reset like there is on multiplier ?, is a good theory about the kdr and if true id say perhaps thats another over looked point.

     

     

    but i agree about the leaderboards and people leaving i started a thread last week about it, be nice to see it addressed and get some good games in!

    So true it's starting to make me dislike playing. I still can't get my head round there being no option for a 2 or 3 player game, why have 2 or 3 player leaderbourds if you can't fxxking choose that? Surley there has to be some sort of fix. I havn't finished a game for about 3 weeks because of quitters and I play most days. Piss take!
