Re: Apex legends abandon penalty

It goes both ways. I was in a game yesterday where the third teammate in our squad would not fight anyone. After the 2 of us were down, he got our banners, then went into a building a hid. He would not even attempt to respawn or engage the enemy. Then when the circle closed, he would find another house on the edge, and get in and hide. Not moving until the circle closed. Repeat for whole match until the circle was small enough that someone saw him and a squad killed him. You should not be penalized for leaving a match like that early. He was clearly just trolling us.

I agree with a previous poster that once you die, not are downed but actually die, you should be able to leave after say 2 minutes with no penalty. Regardless of if your teammate has your banner or not.

Yeah I think that's the only fair way to do it. I've noticed less people leaving which is awesome. But I also don't want a hostile community by making them watch a camping teammate. Put a limit on it even if your teammate has your banner. Problem solved.

@jonesy0218 Mhhhh, I don't think that's the best way. The first day of Season 3 I had one of my teammates lasered and the other with no bullets, so we had to sneak up past a very fierce fight (I think there were like 4-5 teams chasing each other in one of the tall building areas) to the only valid respawn beacon that was pretty far away. It took like 4 minutes, but in the end it took us one shot short of winning the match. The killed teammate thought at first that I'm chickening out when not running immediately to the respawn beacon, but seconds later he spectated me going unnoticed literally 5 feet behind a full squad. He was the first to gg at the end and my almost 1k damage was enough proof to him that I'm not afraid to pull the trigger, but I'm sure he would've left after the first 2 minutes, as things really looked hopeless.

@DoYaSeeMe But it's the only fair way to do it, especially if there's no mic. You can't expect someone to assume you're going to travel four minutes to a respawn beacon... It's not realistic. I think the timer is a perfect addition.

Wow i rememberd my password haha just for this.alright i love apex play it everyday when i get out of work.i just got timed out for 8 min 30 sec for leaving a bit early i cant help it i want to play the game not dik around i dont wanna wait and see all the * unfold children on my squad who obviously cant play,trolls all sorts of reasons im just not happy with it! it honestly makes me not wanna play.if apex dont wanna lose anyone like me then fix this *.i have had no problems with ppl leaving early its there loss honestly and u gotta pilfer through when it comes to millons of random ppl u have no clue about somtimes a person makes me uncomfortable i should not be penalized for that * or if my crew just plain * sucks i use pre built squads most of the time anyway but still not happy ughhh..

@jonesy0218I can NOT disaagree more!! I now have to wait 6 HOURS!! YES! hours!!! Until I can play again , all because my banner was stuck in round 3 storm and my teammates couldn’t get it! ridiculous , And it doesn’t have any pattern or anything as to which u get it ! It’s just random!! Sometimes I get a ridiculous amount of time sometimes I get 10 minutes , sometimes I don’t get it at ALL! I say GET RID OF IT !! or at least dole it down a bit like ignore u leave 2 times in a row u get 5 minutes, do it again twice in a row 10 minutes , the fin u dont do it more than 2 times after that then it resets and u only get 5 minutes again if u do it twice in a row!!

Yeah Bro, You don't get a 6 hours penalty if you abondon your mates for the first time, not even for two or three times, so who are you lying to?

You could have waited 1 minute before the beacon times out. Then you can leave legally, what a big deal right?

Maybe you learn form it, maybe not. I truly do not care.

Any system which discourages those idiots who think they're Shroud, always want to land in high loot or heavy fight zones, get downed in 5 second and then instantly rage is fine by me. If you are jumpmaster and decide on  then landing zone, so long as your team land in the same area, if you immediately rage once died, imo you should get an hour ban straight off.

Same thing for people who launch solo and abandon their team... maybe you think you have the right to play Apex solo, but you're still screwing over two other people when you make that decision (however that should also be paired with an option to allow people to play solo in team games if they want - why not, what harm would it do? Better than screwing over two other people)

Just lol at this thread, and some of the BS posted in it.

Bottom line: You start the match as a team. There are no "accidents" or "random" about it. If you died and your team mates are still alive, they've played better than you. If you cannot stay the 1.30-2min after death then you have a serious issue with your own attitude.

Spin it anyway way you want to try to justify it to yourselves, but you're muppets. Just stay till the banner greys out. NOT rocket science.

As you were

I saw * the penalty í keep getting penalties when I leave right after my third squad mate dies as in no one Is alive and it says squad wiped on my screen I'm now at 40 minutes... 

Sorry for sound stupid, I never leave so never get ban. What is the progression ? 5 -> 10 -> 20 ->40-> ...->90 ---> and beyond ??

@EA_Blueberry @EA_David I think we should introduce pinalty forgiveness by reducing the severity if players stick with team mates a lot of times (not leaving team mate) :

For example:

1. Bailout (1st time) : 5 min

2. Bailout (2nd time): 10 min

3. Stick with team mate (didn't bailout until the end) for 5 times:Pinalty reduce to 5 min. 

4. Stick with team mate (didn't bailout until the end) for 5 times:Pinalty reduce to 0 min. This basically clear the pinalty.

5. Bailout (3rd time): 5 min only (instead of 20 min).

This pinalty progression and pinalty forgiveness is displayed on during rank. 

Warning what will be pinalty if you bail out should be displayed as well "You will be pinalized for 40 minutes, are you sure you want to leave ? "

OK button is grey out for 5 seconds so players can cool down and think about it if they want to take that pinalty or stick.

The bigger the pinalty, the longer the timeout to think about it.

Have over 900 hours played over 120 bucks for this game previous plat 6.5k kill Gibraltar if they don't remove this * * penalty system im quitting the game entirely. Should be my right to leave a group of * teamates especially considering their ranked system is so trash that gold and plat ranked players get paired with * bronze 4 players who have worse aim than an armless man jacking off. 

And I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way Serious respawn fix ur * 

I will say this again here.

We are being penalized for using a in game feature.
You wouldn't use a phone that locks you out for using text messaging over calling.
You won't use a toilet that locks the lid after you flush it.

Again, the option to leave the game is infact apart of the game for us to use.
To be penalized for using it is * poor planning.

Biggest issues with this system:
You are penalizing users of your product for using your product.
It is being misused from it's "intended function"
It punishes new players.

I will not use a product that punishes you for using something for it's intended use.

If you don't want people to leave in the match, then take the option out or have it accessible to playwrs who cannot be respawned back in the game.

Until this issue is resolved, I will not play Apex.  I  will give it to the next patch update before I uninstall it completely.  Which is a sgame because this game has alot of potential, and this will be the death of Apex if it's not fixed.

You are correct sir.  I have good enough sense to know how to create a product for the end user to enjoy.  

While you all are arguing about "rage quitters" and squabbling back and forth, I have shown what the problem and gave a proper logical solution.

If someone gets mad and quits in a game. Let them.  I don't want to play with them anyways.

There is a reason why the felt the need to give the user the option to leave a match.  Adding this system in such a wrong mannor has heavily  crippled the game in the worst way possible.  

If you don't want people quitting in the match then don't give it as a option. Don't add the option then lock people out for using it.  This game will not last till December if this system is not changed from it's current state.    But you go ahead and enjoy your phone that locks you out for sending a text message.  I have plenty of other games I enjoy playing.  

I will stop playing the game for the rest of the day when penalized. Just a fact. Not a good business decision.

The abandon penalty is trash!!! Whybshould we wait while * just leave you there to continue. They should have the abandon penalty where as if your teamate doesnt go for the banner or no attenot to go for it while not under fire should be PENALIZED!!! Again another trash rules for fahhets who ruin the game!! EA  sure as hell wont do * all about it just like they dont do * all about nhl!!! EA has become such a joke its embarrassing

If you care about ranked points at all, then you will stay anyway hoping the teammates can snag some more placement points. If you don't care about points at all, then why play ranked? You are free to leave casual games - there's no penalty for that.

Agreed. Just played a game where me and one squad mate got into a fight and got eliminated. The third guy just took off and ran away without hesitation. So I left. Now I’m kicked for 5 minutes because I didn’t wanna spectate a guy while he ran the other way. I’ll always stick around if the rest of the squad is at least making a small effort to reengage. But when someone runs the second bullets start flying, you shouldn’t have to watch.
