Fires in Southern California

xLiberate··5 votes·4,729 views

Internet went down for three days, I disconnected during a game, forced to leave house due to mandatory evacuation. Come back to see that my house isn't burnt down, but now I have a 20m timer to start a match.

Why doesn't CA clear forests around the towns? Just put a mile or so between the trees and the houses. Maybe clear cut some divisions into the larger forests so the whole thing doesn't burn down. You'd think that after the first major fire people would get some common sense and not let it happen again.

you realise you're talking about the same country that believes Kinder eggs are too dangerous but owning fire arms and rebuilding houses on tornado alley is just fine, right?

but you dont get a 20 min for just 1 game...

xLiberate1 votes

I used to get 20m all the time...but i haven't afkd in awhile. o well.

CharDeeMcDenniz1 votes

maybe try not queuing up when you dont have time/dont feel like playing?

xLiberate1 votes

I absolutely felt like playing...lol. I honestly thought it might be my last chance to for awhile if my home went up in flames...but the fire pathed around my hometown.

ok THIS time you did, but like i said, you dont jump to 20 min for one game, clearly this is a pattern for you.

Real life time doesn't affect in game time.

Take break for 1 year and come back to play 1 game. Game is 20 minutes. Congrats, it had been 20 minutes since your last afk/leaving instance.

Hey man. I'm right there with you. I'm in the same area, in fact, you must be from the Hill Fire area?

I'd contact support, they might be able to knock off your last punishment, but as everyone else said, 20m is the harsh punishment, meaning you are a chronic afker.

Ya I live in TO, the hillside fire was creeping up on the town but literally just circled around it down to Malibu. Thankfully my house was spared, did your place make it?

Crazy unfolding of events down here. First the shooting at the bar then this.

I'm in the sweet spot in the middle of both fires. We evacuated first day but everyone went back. Scary, but we are safe for now.

I have a question for you. When was the last time you had a leaver buster prior to this one?

xLiberate1 votes

Probably around 8 months, haven't even been around to play since the release of BFA.

R107 Games1 votes

Oof, then yeah i feel like 20 minutes is bull shit then.

I don't understand this leaver buster system. Becuase it dosent matter how long you haven't afked, you will still get a 20 minute wait time if you've had it once, at least from excperience.

Imo,if you haven't afked in a long ass time(based on games played withought going afk), then the wait time should be reset to 5 minutes.

ya I was expecting a 5m timer. i logged in to 20m and instantly logged to another account lol.

You had to have a history of leaves or AFK's to get the 20 min queue timer.

You also get penalties for dodging in case you were wondering.
