Hosts who quit

[haitch40]

thats another thing that should be fixed if the host quits another person should host

Yepp... Quitters are annoying!

Of cours it happends once in a while u loose connection or the entire game falls over, but that seldom happends if the game is "up and flying". The big problem (or annoyance) is when the host quits deliberately on some reason. Mostly because he/she is loosing a game.

"Host-ethics" says u fly the game through. At the end of it you where the one to invite in the first place. (And by all gods and devils... We all have been shot down, messed up, humiliated and grinded to pieces up there! It's the only way to learn how to play any given game).

Personally I "ban" hosts that don't stand to loose a game and quits when I have hurt theire feelings a bit. The ones who playes it to the end despite the result, I almost allways send a friend-request. They show The Attitude!

But then again... It's just a game!

Well said, McQ59.

I understand hosts who quit, depending on the reasons, but bad sportsmanship does make me feel pitty for the bastards quitting.
I have even experienced that the host quit the game due to "WRONG" team building ! This really sucked as you hang out in the lobby for some time just to make a missed game.

When this is sad I must admit that I myself have been the reason for lost games for some. Being a parent for some 3 and 5 years old, not all evenings are quiet and they need attention during a dogfight
In flying mode I practice to just keep my plane flying by itself, being an easy prey and leave the game running. If in lobby, as creator, I choose to quit instead of leaving fellow flyers hanging in the lobby for whenever I return.

This just to say sorry, and to make you guys see more reasons for why things may happen.

Ugh. I'm getting tired of this as well. Especially if I'm in a really heated match (Like 3 on 1, and still barely managing to win), and the host quits at the first sign of trouble. Just got out of a huge match (5 on 5 team battle?! I haven't had one of those in like, two weeks!) and the host quits three kills in to the match. Disgusting. I try to host my own games to avoid this, I really do, but almost no one wants to join me. It's ever so lonely...

I was in a capture the airfield match, it was 3 on 2 in favour of the other team in a 20 minute match. three minutes into the match my "wingman" (who kept getting shot down because he was in a heinkel he-111). It ended up being 3 on 1 and i was in a spitfire MK II. I lost the airfield (to be honest i never did get it) but i made it my mission (after an attempt to lure the three planes awa from the airfield and make a break for the field because they were in much slower planes) that i would just fight till' the end. I ende up getting shot down 3 times and getting 20 something kills. I crashed a few times (accedent :'( ) but other then that flew well. It was under realistic and the other planes were an IL-2M a I-153 (little bugger) and a P-51B (who kept landing at the airfield. I ended up getting the MK-XIV out of it and used it for the first time in the next match which was the same thing in arcade though...even the whole 3 on 1 thing.

Anyway the quitters were: the gamertag had Apple Jacks in it. And he's like a 5 year old, hard to miss. The other was Venom something. (Sorry i'm bad with GT's.)

You shouldn't really name names anyway. You also can't know exactly why they quit, could easily have got disconnected.

And about that I-153. Could possibly have been flown by the same person (that I wont name) that I flew against in CTA a couple of days ago. I got to tell you I was THAT CLOSE to quitting the game thanks to him. Kamakizing and cheap unlimited bombing nonstop and only 5 sec re spawn. In realistic mode that plane,flown like that, with those game selections, just breaks CTA games and is absolutely no fun for the players on the other side.

I-153 + CTA = CHEAP

really got to me last night in a 30 minute CTA game with 5 per team... 3 quit and left me and another NOOB as food for the lions

yup, this is definitely annoying. just this morning i was handing 2 bomber pilots their rear ends, flying a 109 k-4 in a strike match, when the host (one of those bombers) ended the game. i think of myself as a fairly new player, so it felt good to finally be on the delivering end of the spanking, because i have been on the receiving end many times to the likes of RATTMAN, olife, Cranny, etc. but stayed through the entire battle... hey, chalk it up to a flight lesson from the best in the game!
