As the Invincible VS beta test winds down, players are hoping publisher Skybound Games and developer Quarter Up do something to fix its “rage quitting” problem.
The fighting game based on the comic book-turned-TV show will soon close the servers that have allowed players to try out a slice of its superhero roster since April 9. With launch still weeks away, those who signed up for the limited test are left to reflect on the battles where they may have beaten their opponents a bit too badly.
Players of varying skill levels flocked to the Invincible VS beta and quickly found that there seemed to be little penalty for those who left matches prematurely. It led to moments where Viltrumites and Guardians alike would be pummeling their foes with a string of combos only to be met with an error that simply said, “opponent disconnected.”
“If someone as casual as myself is experiencing this frequently then that’s a bit worrisome when you think about how the playerbase will be for this game,” one player said. “Safe to say we’re going to need an automated penalty system to deter rage quitting in this game for sure.”
“My trick for less quits was to start playing with random characters I didn’t really practice with,” another suggested. “That way there’s a feeling out process in the beginning of the fight that makes them less likely to rage quit.”
