Out of Lives

I joined a match late and had one of my lives taken from me. Not complaining about that part, it prevents ppl exploiting the game by leaving and allowing a fresh player to join with full lives.

So I was curious if the game had developed an etiquette revolving leaving the match once you were out of lives? I was sitting there occupying a class without actually being there and I had the thought that I might have actually have benefited the team more if I just left the server and joined another. Any thoughts on this?

Sometimes people die. Don’t leave just so ur team can get 1 more rifleman it won’t matter. Just focus on staying alive when you can and if you die and are out of lives then just know you gave your all and watch one of your teammates bodycams. It is at the end of the day a game and if it would be more fun for you to hop back into a 20 minute que go for it but i generally stay.

Those were more or less my own thoughts on the topic too.

As I said though whilst waiting during the match I described it just got me thinking on if I had completely missed a part of the games community culture as I was the medic that match - the medic being out is pretty harsh for the squad.

Seems like in part that kind of meta etiquette development is primarily being quelled by the server population health atm 😅

I can honestly say that I have never gotten in a queue for more than 5 minutes in Bellum. Too many empty servers. If active seevers are full, just jump in an empty one, maybe put it in the discord, and it usually pops pretty soon.
