Every match on LD there are always at least one person who leaves just because their team is losing, and that irritates me, so I propose a fee increase to 7,500 crowns a game, that way no one leaves.

Or...

Make it that you have to pay an amount to leave.

eh

It's a minigame. If losing a game of lockdown meant you lost 7.5k crown per game it would only allow the rich elite to even play it. I really don't want a minigame to turn into a rich person's club.

Players leave because technical issues, the teams are unbalanced (and they don't want to deal with it), they're AFK too long, etc. Really, instead of increasing the fee, there should be a way to make up for losing a player in a lockdown game, such as a faster respawn queue, increased team defenses, monsters to fill the role of the player, etc.

@Fangel How about this

@Fangel

How about this then:

7500 cr fee to play
Winning team gets 7580 cr, losing team gets 7300, leavers don't get anything back

This way, winning and losing team's profits stay the same as they are now. Leavers get penalized for being sissies

"Leavers get penalized for being sissies"

If food happens to appear while I'm in a match, you're all on your own. I will not forsake pizza for a few crowns.

There are multiple reasons people end up leaving. Fangel laid them out nicely, coupled with a reasonable suggestion on how to address it without sucking people dry for a frankly unreasonable fee for a minigame.

There's zero reason to change the fee. I don't see what the big deal about it is.

sounds to me like someone's salty about losing a game of broken capture-the-point. The secret is that even if you win in Lockdown, you still invariably lose.

play blast network instead nerd

to be honest

I made this as some sort of troll thread, because I honestly expected the reactions to be different then what I see here. Like 7.5k fee? Really? Somehow you made it work though.
