The 2 min resign rule is clearly INCREASINGLY used in dm 1v1. Most of good players actually resign before 2 min if they have not a perfect start, no lakota, or a lakota a little bit farther than that of their opponent aso...

It has come to a point that 2/3 of my games last less than two min. and it becomes really boring to play truncated games. ESO should modify this rule for dm in further patch. The resign time could be reduced to 30 sec for example or there could be a "non resign" option in the eso interface...

I know that this point was already put forward but it actually becomes a real critical problem for the dm community!

Thx for answering.

 @ Paragon: I tried what you proposed. I spent 20 min in quick search 1v1 dm and the largest other options. No match was found. Quich search is useless for dm. May be it could be used to fall asleep lol.

@ Cityhunter: If you don't use the 2 min resign rule while others do, you have clearly a handicap over many games since you loose games you could have skipped and you miss the points of games you could have won. So i also use it now . However i would prefer that this rule was suppressed or modified for the whole dm community.

This rule has been established to stop freely corrupted games: strong lag, bad choice of civ, bad choice of map... Actually it is used in a totally other sens, ie to stop games which are not well enough engaged. Really frustrating! If ESO is working to improve our on line gaming experience this point should be modify for DM.

 Eem to be hounst the 2 min rule isn't weird, In my time ( 1-2 years ago).

When your any good you need instant cav around 0:50 - 1:00 min otherwise your dead or yo need tones of merc (or russian).

So if you ain't got lakota in games with good players it isnt weird to start a new game.

However leaving before 2 min because you just had a bad start is very noob.

Cheers

I agree. Missing Lakota can be seen as a bug in the map which need rematch. But missing skill is not a bug and it must be taken into account...

"No resign" would affect everybody in the same way and would avoid many frustrating truncated games.

I know what u mean it can be very annoying, like i was attacking this guy and I had just started with like 10 dragoons and he quit, it is very annoying!!!!! 

I just started playing dm and this is crazy.  So many people quit within two mins.  The time should be reduced to say 30 seconds or something.   So many games are over in 2 seconds with a decent rush.

There is no 2 minute rule in quicksearch, so I would recommend using it to find games.  

LOL

DM barely is alive as is.  not to mention quicksearch... theres no way anyone would get a game in QS... no matter how long they waited.. whether it be days or weeks, rofl.
