Guest cRy Posted July 31, 2012 If they DC (only when shot - obviously) spawn them in the NW corner of the map (23Km out), no gear.This is the most fair way. Everyone deserves a second chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inception. 9443 Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah, I don't see why Rocket doesn't punish them for DCing whilst shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Igno4 0 Posted July 31, 2012 He hasn't done it because it's not technically breaking the rules. It's just dirty playing. When you DC after being shot, you're metagaming, not actually exploiting some bug of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone deserves a second chance.Well.. there's already a feature forcing players to in a "pass-out" state where you'll be unable to do anything for 5 min or so :-) I've also heard rumours saying Rocket will implement a feature during logout such as in World of Warcraft, but only lasting 5 sec.

lamesaint 14 Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah, I don't see why Rocket doesn't punish them for DCing whilst shot.It's probably not as simple as just adding a few lines of code. If it was an easy and fair fix, then it would have been implemented already. If it hasn't yet, then you can assume a few things: 1) It's not as simple as it may seem; 2) It's not high on their priority list (like I assume that this probably would be); 3) It's not fully tested and/or working.

Valec 55 Posted July 31, 2012 You guys are only pretending to be stupid, right?The reason it hasn't been done in a manner like you suggest is because there's no way to tell the difference between an intentional disconnect, a crash, or someone's internet shitting the bed.Use some fucking common sense. There's a fix in the works, and it will work. Unlike this hair-brained idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has been stated by Rocket (or someone else on the dev team) that DCing to avoid a fight is cheating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason he hasn't yet isnt because he doesnt want to, but because its harder than you think. He's taking steps toward doing this in the next patch.

When I say not bannable, I mean the server operator does not have the right to ban said player.However, eventually this will be tracked by the hive and when patterns are established, you can bet your ass disconnectors will be banned.
