Award EXP If You Don't Complete a Game

Here's a suggestion I personally haven't seen brought up in the Suggestions section of the forum yet. We should be awarded EXP even if we are unable to complete a game. I know this is a problem that affects almost everyone. Every single person on this game has, at one time or another, been doing REALLY good in a game and then had to leave for some reason, causing him to lose the EXP he would have won if he had finished the game. Of course, this is always really annoying, since you just spent all that time getting a good score, and then you were forced to let it all go to waste.

There are a lot of reasons people have to leave a game... A lot of times, a player is doing really good in a game and then a hacker joins and starts ruining his K/D, so that player decides to go. Sometimes kids get called by parents, or have to go use the bathroom. Men get called by their wives, or have to go mow the lawn. I couldn't think of any good reasons for a woman to have to leave while in a game, but since there are like 2-and-a-half women on the game anyway, it's no big deal. Sorry women xD

Anyways, back to the topic, I think anyone who has to leave while in a game should be awarded at least a good percentage of EXP he would have received if he had finished the game. For example, let's say a guy has 30 kills and has to leave his game. He should receive the amount of EXP he would have received if he had ended the game with 30 kills. If he left the game with 20 kills, he should receive the amount of EXP he would have won if he had finished the game with 20 kills.

I hope you all leave your opinions on this. It would make the game MUCH more fair for anyone who has a life and has to leave a lot during games. If a lot of people think this is a good idea, who knows? Maybe Z8 will change it :) Thanks for reading.

  • It has been mentioned before, quite alot actually.

    And I think just about everyone agreed this would be a good idea. Would make being noob kicked more bareable and when there are hackers at least we can leave knowing the effort we put in will be rewarded.

    Hmm I guess I just haven't been on the forum enough to catch when it was suggested before lol. I agree with you though. We put effort and time into the game, so we should be able to at least get something back if we have to leave without finishing it.
  • It has mainly been mentioned within other threads about being kicked. Not specifically mentioned in its own thread much.

    Another thing I just wondered, and I may be wrong about this, so it could be a pointless question...

    If we are kicked from a game after several rounds, we do not receive exp or gp, but do the guns we use in that game receive damage?

    If they do then why should we pay for damage to a gun and yet not receive anything to pay for it?

    I think guns only get damaged if you completely finish, by winning or losing, a game.
  • can u imagine that? ha.ckers killing the whole team 4-5 times, then leaving the room and getting the exp, worse then farming
  • Yesterday I was doing the Cargo Ship mission, and I only needed 1 to complete the mission. Suddenly my dad came home and needed to turn of my computer immediatley.
    So I could'nt complete the mission and I was doing my last game. :(
  • can u imagine that? ha.ckers killing the whole team 4-5 times, then leaving the room and getting the exp, worse then farming

    Why would hackers leave the room anyway? They might as well stay and finish the game and get more EXP. Besides, wouldn't you rather have a hacker who left and won his EXP than a hacker who stayed for the whole game and ruined your score?

    Yeah stuff like that is annoying. I don't need to shut off my computer whenever my dad comes home, lol, but he does have me get off the game to help him sometimes. I have probably lost over 100k EXP to games that I was unable to finish.

    Exactly. And who cares what a hacker gets, they can go get marshal rank if they want to cheat but I suspect they will get banned a long way before that and then that exp will mean nothing.
  • verry nice idea...
    yah.. it has ben posted befoure , but i think now you reminded mod's abbout this :)
  • I think guns only get damaged if you completely finish, by winning or losing, a game.
    Just tested this and you are correct. No damage to guns when kicked (on purpose this time to test) or leave before game ends. So cross out my earlier query. ;)
  • Then the exp could be given... Only thing is that it shouldnt be the total amount of exp unless you were kicked. Let's say you went 5-1, then you left since you had to go somewhere, say... the exp you would obtain would be 100 if you finished the game with that score. With leaving earlier.. I suppose you would be given 90 exp. Since you're leaving the game earlier there's gonna be a punishment of some sort. so 10% deduction of exp I think would be enough. That ways if you were doing really good, you could still have a triple digit exp. gain.

    Yeah, I think something like that would work pretty good. They'd probably make it higher than a 10% EXP deduction to try to keep people from quitting all the time, but it would still be better than nothing. I think it would work out best for GP if we didn't win any GP by quitting, but didn't have to repair our guns either.
  • well i disconnect, black screens and freezes alot while playing crossfire this is majorly decrased my exp earning and gp earning it would be nice to give exp and gp but still quitting a game should recieve a penity like that it is only fair.

    I doubt there's any way they would be able to still award EXP if your computer freezes or goes to a black screen, but I still think it would be a good idea to receive EXP for the time you spend and the kills you get in a game, even if you have to quit. In the past month, I probably had to quit at least 50 games because hackers would join and ruin them, and I didn't want my K/D to be ruined by it. You should receive EXP for the amount of time you spend in a game.
  • An alternative solution would be to have exp awarded for every time you kill someone. I've seen this in a few games, where you have your exp in a corner, and every time you kill someone your exp increased. This would solve technical issues also.
  • Oops, meant exp bar in a corner :P. Btw, don't have on forum name lol.

    I think that would work, and I don't think it would be very hard to add in. Make each kill or award a certain amount of EXP and add that certain amount every time you get a kill, plant a bomb, defuse a bomb, etc.

    Exactly, and maybe some of our friends with 200+ ping would learn to aim if head shots and golden head shots gave more exp. Then again, thats my 2 cents, not like z8 really gives a rat.....I'm not gonna say it :P.

    Your guns don't get damaged if you desert the game. Or if your kicked.
    But i agree with the idea of getting exp.
    When i do good people say kik him he is a haker and sometimes people believe that becuase of my good score.
    And its really annoying to not get anything when you are kicked.

    It would be nice to still get EXP when you get kicked. The only problem with that suggestion is that the kick system is mainly supposed to be used to kick hackers. Because of that, I don't think Z8 would allow EXP to be awarded to people who get kicked from a game. My suggestion was more towards still receiving EXP if you quit a game while it's still in progress.
  • Also what sucks is that if you play a game, and u got a nice game. Ur stats are like 14-2.
    And than suddenly the noobs kick you :S
  • Everyone including hackers should get their GP/EXP whether they leave a game or get kicked, the difference between a normal player and a hacker is an hacker gets banned rendering EXP/GP gained useless.
  • Something like this would work too in my opinion.

    Sort of like in COD. /awaiting flames

    I agree with the EXP inclusion for a leave/kick.

    Oh and what about women called away by their men? hmmmmmmmmmm?
  • If you quit a game, it should be considered a lose, I don't disagree with that.

    About the penalty when you get kicked, it blows, it should be removed.
  • Yep old suggestion but yeah +1, it should happen
