Dearhmatch inactivity bug gripe

Djennku · November 22

I juat want to make a statement here about this bug. I have played alnost nothing but deathmatches today (4v4 solo) and in 7 games, have gotten kicked 4 times with in last minute of a round for 'inactivity' because I lost all my lives and a teammate wanted to be a coward and hide in the base. Of course it has given me an undeserved desterter oenalty every time.

This bug has been going on since update 44 launched, and while I know they are aware and working on a fix, it is EXTREMELY frustrating trying to go for a leaderboard spot and getting a penalty more than half of the games.

In addition, I am very frustrated that those 5-6 games now have ended with no AP or score gain due to this.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Kevin are the battlegrounds bugs for being kicked in spectator mode and the Closing in 10 Seconds due to not enough players being looked into, are they on the team's radar? These have made it difficult to play as we spend most our time waiting on ESO instead of getting to enjoy playing the game itself.

We won't get any answers until December because the team is on vacation this week.

This and the lobby closing bug were reported week 1, but here we are, many weeks later, and nothing has been done. Even the "fix" that they claimed they delivered didn't stop this. It's a massive waste of time.

you are right the holidays period will probably mean it will be like this until Q2 2025 🥴

The spectator mode issue will be resolved next incremental patch. I just reviewed the patch note for it yesterday.

We’ll check in on the closing in 10seconds note with the team. We will have delayed communication due to the upcoming holiday, so just wanted to be upfront about that.

Awesome! It has been a nightmare dealing with deathmatches when you die before everyone else and get stuck with that 15 min penalty. Had it happen 5 times in a row once. It's gonna be nice not having to worry about that.

And on a related note, why so many deathmatches??? You've got 5 battleground modes, why is it that deathmatches come up so often (around half the time it seems like)? I know a lot of people are in it for the kills, but I actually like ALL the other modes more. Or just finally give us a choice rather than random.
