Currently, when we disconnect from game servers or the client crashes, upon reconnecting or reopening the game, we are greeted with an option to rejoin the battle.
This feature should also be added to the normal UI as a “Rejoin Battle” button.
Sometimes we can get frustrated and leave a match early, only to regret it seconds later. We should have the ability to rejoin matches where our vehicle is crew-locked or rejoin previous battles that are still ongoing.
This change would provide several benefits:
- Reduces the penalty for accidental exits or momentary frustration, allowing players to return and continue contributing to their team
- Takes advantage of delayed kill credits - sometimes a player you damaged is destroyed after leaving, giving you enough SP to spawn again and finish the fight
- Encourages players to stick with matches instead of giving up permanently, improving team composition and match quality
- Provides consistency with the existing reconnect feature that already works for disconnects and crashes
- Reduces crew lock frustration by giving players a second chance to make use of their locked vehicles
- Helps in situations where players leave due to poor performance early on but want to redeem themselves
- Benefits the team by allowing players to return and fill gaps rather than leaving matches permanently undermanned
- Rewards players who take a moment to cool down and decide to return with a better attitude
- Makes the game more forgiving and less punishing for human moments of frustration
- Could reduce the number of players who quit matches entirely, knowing they have the option to return
If a player is kicked for team killing then they obviously should be restricted back from joining to prevent trolls.
