One quitter can drop the entire game due to peer-to-peer connection. So yes, it does have an effect on everyone.

It does matter. Nothing more frustrating than spending 15 minutes in a match for someone to rage quit 10 seconds before it’s over and drop the entire group from the game. No rewards, no exp, nothing.

There is no official ranking system currently. FHTracker is 3rd party.

People are upset because rage quitting in team games DOES have an effect on their play. The game uses peer-to-peer connections. One rage quitter can drop the entire group. Assuming they don’t drop the whole group, a BOT replaces the quitter with a varying degree of skill level.

The story doesn’t change because it’s roughly based on historical fact fantasized through the writings of Luo Guanzhong in the historical novel series of the same name, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It’s a great read, if you’re into that kind of thing. I’d gladly pay the price tag on this for a translated version.
