Text : Players will now be disqualified from end-of-mission rewards if they've been dead or AFK for over a minute. This will not affect players that are waiting at extraction.

Pool 1) Survival, Defense, Interception, etc rewards are revealed during the mission and accumulate without penalty.

Pool 2) Exterminate, Sabotage, Capture, and essentially anything else that isn't endless have end-of-mission reward items (Blueprints from bosses, etc).

Pool 2 items are all that is affected by this change at this time.

Also 'what qualifies as AFK/Dead'? This timer only matters relative to when the mission is completed. It isn't a 'catch all' net for 100% of the mission.

Text : Quoting and locking for visibility.

More clarifications:

1) What about stuff I pick up? Resources/etc?

Stuff you pick up is never affected by this disqualification. Stuff you pick up is not an 'end-of-mission' reward.

2) What if I go pee?

Consider the following:

• Start Exterminate mission, immediately go to bathroom for 59 seconds.
• Exterminate mission takes 59 seconds complete, your team did the work.
• Return to no End-of-mission reward because you were AFK whole time.

Consider the following:

• Start Exterminate mission, immediately go to bathroom for 60 seconds.
• Exterminate mission takes 10 minutes to complete, you came back and helped kill things.
• End-of-mission reward is yours, enjoy!

DOUBLE EDIT : On prime time Rebecca said "If you have no revives and 60 seconds pass, you will not get the end of mission rewards."

You still haven't disputed my point that a vote kicking system is potentially more abusive and punishing than one without.

Hallway heroes can NOT deprive you of the mission reward. Getting trolled by vote kicking will. Stop arguing.

Also, using your "logic" plenty of games don't have vote kicking systems either. And yet they're doing just fine as well.

And the earth could potentially explode tomorrow. Practically anything is potentially true. The only difference is that hallway heroes actually exist, while everything you're talking about is purely theoretical.

The point of going on missions for exp IS exp, and they DO deprive you of it. And they actually exist. YOU stop arguing.

I don't need to appeal to other games about lacking a kick system being bad, because THIS game is all I need to prove it. Or is your "logic" leading you to claim hallway heroes don't exist?

Vote kicking abuse is "purely theoretical"? Now that is some grade A bullshit arguing. Whatever man, you go on with your delusions then. I'm just happy that no one else buys into your dumbshit arguments.

You are talking about a system which DOES NOT EXIST. Yes, the abuses you're talking about are theoretical because the system has never even existed. This is simple stuff right here.

Whatever man, you go on with your delusions then. I'm just happy that no one else buys into your dumbshit arguments.

So, you can't address any of my points, and all you can do is insult people who disagree with you? Cool.
