Why wait for other people to /resign when you can just leave?

The Pointless · Nov 22, 2006, 07:41 PM // 19:41

Way to miss the point, -.-

If everyone in the party uses /resign, the whole party is sent back to the last outpost without splitting up. This allows parties to give the quest or mission another go without faffing about for 3 hours trying to form a fresh party in an outpost full of imbeciles

I can understand the frustration. I was in a mission once with a pretty good group, and we had a player that ended up getting disconnected. So we all kind of said "screw it, lets /resign and invite that person back in". We all resigned except this one warrior who just kept fighting through the mission without anyone helping him. He just kept going and going and going, not seeming to care that we were dead, and that it said "<insertname> has resined" a bunch of times. Then when he got close to dying, he left....

/resign will count as a death, so survivors should not use it until they are ready to end their progress on the survivor title track.

The people you play with are illiterate, impatient little kids.

resign doesn't count as a death unless you are below about 40% health, I used resign last night on my para when he was at full health and I checked deaths once in town, guess what it said.."You have died 0 times." Oh and more over I agree that people need to grow some brain cells and learnhow to type a simple emote that can save hours at a time. EVEN worse is where everyone has resigned, but one R-Tard hasn't resigned yet, then he leaves... There goes the entire resign command, since if ONE person leaves after the resign chain has started, then you can't resign as a group -.- very very annoying.

Resigning sucks. It forces players to give up when experiencing first waves of pressure. It causes players not to think of another tactics, or ways to recuperate and escape from that low moment. During the time i played tombs hardcore, there was no resign so were forced to play till there's our one last man standing. And victories from those "good comeback" games are much more sweeter. Even in gvg. With the guidance of a guildie, he often led us to victories even it was impossible to win.

There was one time, we were in Underworld. Noob guildies who just know how to farm fame were resigning vs an IWAY team we dont even know coz of deaths. Some of the veterans in the guild opted to finish the match, didnt resign, fought and yea, we won. Idk if those guildies suddenly lost their faces. was a good moment.

point is that, in pvp, resigning sucks. i dont even know why it was added. worst slash action ever.

Kijik Oni Hanryuu · Nov 23, 2006, 12:45 AM // 00:45

I think resigning is great personally, it's great for a retry, and that is the catch in it, the ENTIRE party has to resign, so if a couple people are of a different mindset, then so-be-it fight on.. Also this thread is intended for mainly PvE and also the /resign vs. /ragequit (in other terms leave) dilemma.

Isn't /resign the command you use when your party leader conveniently managed to get you into the match before you had all 8 skills set??

If it is, how is it the worst slash action ever?

uhh rant much...

Carth` · Nov 23, 2006, 04:04 AM // 04:04

I don't mind the people that leave instead of resigning, at least then the rest of you can still resign. What gets me are the ones that just sit there, they don't leave and they don't resign, no matter how many times you say it.

They force everyone to leave instead of resigning and staying in the group.

that is a lie, it will not as I have done it on multiple survivor characters

Relambrien · Nov 23, 2006, 04:27 AM // 04:27

In PvE, people leave instead of resign for many reasons.

One that I haven't seen posted yet is that many have the mindset, "Well this group is going nowhere. /ragequit." It's not that the person wants to form up again, they specifically leave because they DON'T want to try with you again. Therefore, the purpose of /resign has no pertinence.

Then there's the "I didn't know about it," "It's bugged," etc. that have already been said.

alot of the time i want or have to leave a team though, is when everyine is dead, exept the one person. you know him. "ill brb". 20 friggin minuts later he gets back. either everybodys gone or half the people are dead. if everybodys dead, exept the afk person, you cant really just leave as a group.

ditto.. dozens of times over two different survivor chars. Never was a problem.

Former Ruling · Nov 23, 2006, 05:46 AM // 05:46

^A recent update made /resign'ing in a mission count as a death, dont know if it was a bug or not, might have already been fixed.

Anyway, in PvE ALot of the times when you would need to /resign....Its just better for you to leave anyway because the group sucks.

Trvth Jvstice · Nov 23, 2006, 07:55 AM // 07:55

The real reason why most groups aren't able to resign, because there's always one person that just doesn't know what you are talking about.

IQ test before being allowed to play GW would be nice.

im talking bout if you're on a match and you think you're going to lose vs a team. /resigning coz someone isnt ready is a different issue.

and i think my post doesnt suit the OP. i was drunk last night.

Ozric · Nov 23, 2006, 01:57 PM // 13:57

What might be a good update is to provide an info popup explaining the '/resign' command after a couple of people in the party have resigned. Not the kind that puts a button right in the middle of the screen, as it would be abused, but like the tutorial infos that appear on the top left corner.

RTSFirebat · Nov 23, 2006, 02:26 PM // 14:26

Ah /resign I always found this annoying myself.

Often I've found (Always in PuGs), there always one or two people who won't type it no matter what.

I'm not sure if its a lack of understanding or if they have Team/Local chat turned off or if they are just being plain annoying.

My take on it is I always type this:

"Ok we have to restart, lets save time. Please type /resign and we be returned back to town"

I will repeat that 3 times, after which I leave. Because in truth I don't have time waste telling people to type 7 buttons on a keyboard
