Mid game joining needs to go
If mid game joining didn’t exist, it would solve the problem of people not wanting to do large pve events. If you could fight off a lobby with your team, you could at least have a chance at the queen or something after that. It’s extremely difficult when you have to face basically constant hordes of free kits trying to rat your expensive gear.
Arc activity could slowly be increased as the round comes to an end, so people can’t just run around looting the whole map freely if they manage to clear a lobby or people just extract and the lobby empties.
Removing mid game joining would make a huge impact on the amount of third party fights. You spawn into a half finished game and see raider flares in the sky, run over to a half dead wounded team that just won a gun fight and mop them up. it couldn’t be easier and it’s not fair.
It’s also not fair to people who make a specific loadout to go do something on the map, like run a keycard room or fight a queen. And then it puts you into a lobby across the map from where you need to go with 14 minutes left. You basically just have to run to an extract most of the time and it’s a waste of time.
mid game joining does more harm than good, and there’s others ways to keep the lobby interesting as the match progresses.
