PozerWolf Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Alright, so what's up with this? Yea, it's no big deal, but kind of pet peeve of mine. I've played several fighting games online, and normally when someone enters the lobby, they stay in for a good while until it's their turn. Ya', if it's taking too long, I can understand if they left. But so far, I've had about 300 lobby matches, and I've seen the message soooooo many times that a player would enter and 2 seconds later leave immediately. What gives? Why the sudden lose in interests as soon as someone enters a lobby? This seems to happen.... ALL THE TIME!
hulskiey Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Sometimes connection doesnt show on room search window so people join to check. If its ass they leave instantly. Thats my guess
Justice7541 Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I don't think you can even get into rooms without determining connection quality first. The realistic reasons I can think of are: 1) They were just pressing whatever on the search menu and not really looking at the room info. Then they get in and see something they don't like (i.e. too many players, bad rotation type, round count, etc.) and decided to quit. 2) One of the players in the room has a really bad connection, even though his own connection to the host is good, and he doesn't want to play that guy. 3) He's looking for a particular type of match, and doesn't want to play the people in the room after seeing their P-Cards (i.e. he doesn't want to fight against a specific character, or he only wants to play good/bad players, etc.). Other than that I have no idea.
toanenadiz Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I don't think you can even get into rooms without determining connection quality first. You can if they don't have a restriction on their connection quality. Also sometimes the connection on the search screen lies and says you have 3 but when you join the room and I usually leave when that happens.
Rhiya Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 I've seen a ton of rooms with no connection limits. As a result, I'll enter a room I have a good connection with, see someone in there I have an absolutely shit connection to, and bail, because I don't want to deal with that.

This That was Blazblue too--I'd get into a room, see shit connection to everyone, get paired up and fight em', and of course get destroyed with lag that reached the heavens Sometimes the best option is simply to bail and avoid that stuff, it's painful being helpless to internet connection douchebaggery
Osuna Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Huh, I learned something. I was assuming it happened a lot in p4 because you couldn't view matches if you join after they start and joining right before one started would be watching a lot of nothing for who know how long. In retrospect that was a pretty silly assumption.
Ayxism Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Sometimes I leave the room as soon as I get in because when I initially hit the join room button it says 1/4 or something like that. When I join there were 3 people instead of 1. So I don't feel like waiting very long unless it's with some friends.

The connection ratings can be very misleading though. I've had lots of zero bar matches that run fine after letting the intro play, and higher ratings lag. You can't really know if it will be bad until you play the person.
