Battle Ground Not Starting Issuies

smarmyguy · November 2018

I've had an issue on PC that bg's are not starting as one team is bugged and will not fill up with players. I understand you can't remove the deserter debuff as people will leave if they don't like the look of the other team but please make bg's automatically close in 5 mins if the game hasn't started.

I joined a bg. Waited 15 mins and it didn't start. Left. Waited for the debuff. Entered the same bg and the left and got the debuff again.

I've had issues in bg on xbox of not being able to get off the load screen / game crashing while entering a bg and still getting the debuff.

Another solution would be to reduce the debuff to the same time as one bg and have the debuff start from when the bg lobby was opened.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I hope the Devs take note.

Two times out of three BG's today, remove the deserter penalty until this is fixed...

Yep. And for no reason just getting booted from the BG rhen getting a deserter buff..right when your team is winning ad you are having a good match no less.

Just experienced this bug yesterday as well. it's highly annoying knowing your going to get the deserter debuff for not being able to play the battleground. I'm also on PC NA

( edited for clarification of which platform)
