Anyone else been noticing significantly more players doing nothing or leaving early since Halloween started? I think some players are trying to game the pumpkin system by getting in more games instead of doing better.

I have not. I have noticed less camping and hiding as pilots battle for damage rank.

Definitely noticed more afk players, sometimes it can be crippling.
Plus side is definitely more people fighting in the thick of battle, which I love.
Still seeing way too many Noricum/Zenit combinations.

But you don't get pumpkins if you leave the battle before it ends...

The players who are "just standing around" may have crashed. It happened multiple times to us yesterday.

Also seen lots of games where players have mysteriously disappeared.
Some are players with 5 slot hangers who end the game with <10k damage in 5 or 6th place yet still get pumpkins. They can't have meched out so early and the frequency of dropouts from such players (coincidentally sometimes full clubbers!) is sometimes quite suspicious.
I've quit out a couple of games, notably when 6v6 became 2v6 within 60s, and still got rewards. Also had a crash mid battle and checked and found additional pumpkins on return. The 'must reach end' rule is obviously gameable or buggy.

But you don't get pumpkins if you leave the battle before it ends... You do. You get pumpkins as long as you do 1 damage or get 1 beacon. I've posted a screenshot of the latter instance in another thread. You can drop in a battle, shot a single punisher bullet at the enemy (hitting it) and then bail and get your 2 pumpkins. Only way you don't get them is you start the game and just sit there all along. |

I have noticed fewer players leaving games. Probably because there finally some reward for doing well on a losing time. Usually the game rewards you for giving up and joining a new match.

Well, to give those people the benefit of the doubt, I noticed more reports of disconnection too.

I've noticed a lot more games (high bronze) that are down to 6-3 or 6-2 with 4-5 minutes left to play. It's annoying and frustrating when it's blue team leaving and all of a sudden I'm like wth is my team? And it's boring when it's the red team that all leave. I guess I'd make a poor clubber because I like a good fought game much better than a blowout.
