Punishment For Disconnects

my question is when someone rage quits why on my stats does it say i have the disconnects? I had like 6 RQ last night and it says i have 2. I just take screen shots on my phone of there RQ.

btw i found something funny. if you play someone with a classic fatality and you dont have it, you can do it too. i was all hyped when i pulled off subs classic.

You can only see people’s amount of disconnects in a room on the server. The servers have been down since the second day or so. So yeah, there’s no avoiding DCs right now.

However, also note that the game assigns DCs very poorly. I’m up to over 20 DCs that have been assigned to me because my OPPONENT disconnected. Very dumb.

Wow, indeed.

Dude I know exactly how you feel. MK online community has tons of salt. :lol:

I was super salty about one RQ he waited till i was about to get a flawless victory and quit so i messaged the dude “man its bad enough we gotta deal with the poor netcode, you gotta add your salty RQ’s to it?”. he didnt reply.

In general, most MK players are terrible players who are too shitty to play Tekken or Street Fighter. I’ve been disconnected on 3 out of the 10 times I’ve been stupid enough to play online and I’m livid to find out that counts against ME. Fix this trash, NRS!!!

I think a lot of the disconnects aren’t salty player, but just a result of the shitty netcode. Now when it happens in the middle of a fatality in a match where you weren’t experience any lag, I have to say it’s probably a rage quit. I do wish there was a punishment for that. I experienced this all the time on SSF4 though. I’d lose 7 straight matches and then finally win the 8th and have the person rage quit. I tried to stop finishing matches with ultras, but mostly I just avoid those players if possible.

You can tell easily when someone DCs on purpose and when the game just drops. You wouldn’t believe the amount of matches I’ve had that played out in the following form:

  • Opponent picks Noob/Raiden/Sektor/any character with a very unsafe special move
  • Match starts. I back up, he waits a little bit.
  • Opponent uses Teleport Slam/Superman/Teleport Uppercut/whatever. I block and punish.
  • Opponent uses Teleport Slam/Superman/Teleport Uppercut/whatever. I block and punish.
  • Opponent uses Teleport Slam/Superman/Teleport Uppercut/whatever. I block and punish.
  • Opponent DCs just before the first round ends.

This has to have happened over 50 times to me. Tell me with a straight face that that DC is the result of shitty netcode.

The easy fix would be to make the total opponent DCs appear in ranked/player matchmaking. It shows up in the lobbies, and I have no clue why they don’t show it when the game finds you a match in ranked/player matches.

there should be no disconnect stat, a disconnect should always result in a loss for the guy that pulled the plug and a win for the other guy imo

I’d rather know peoples disconnection stat so I can avoid RQ’s as best as I can. Whenever I challenge players in lobbies I always check their DC stat.

It does.

Sometimes it messes up and the other player gets the disconnect. It says i have 3 and ive never rage quit in anything.

Yeah, there are ways of ragequitting that games can’t figure out who to assign the quit to. It usually involves resetting your router so that you’re still connected when the game figures out who dropped the connection. If that happens, or if the game drops your match due to lag, you’ll often get the disconnect.

As I said, I have over 20 erroneously assigned DCs. I guess that’s really not bad out of over 1000 matches, but they can wrack up.

I dont believe players should be punished for disconnecting, I do it if the games very laggy who want’s to sit there and try to learn and play the game with lag? Surely not me. I’m not doing it out of anger but everyone knows how bad MK9’s online play really is

I’ve never DC’d and would never rage quit. But I’m hoping I don’t rack up any DC’s because of lag or erroneous DCs.

I heard that if the other player disconnects using the guide or ps button and exits to the dashboard you get the disconnect.

The Punishment should be a higher chance of Toastys!

+5 % for every disconnect you have :smiley:

A lot of people ragequit on me too, but it doesn’t bother me that much, despite the small annoyance that comes with me getting a disconnect as well. I simply send the person a message saying, “I win :)”. I just do it to push it in their face and it only pisses them off even more. I think it’s hilarious x)

Over 200 hours of Left 4 Dead 1 and Left 4 Dead 2 have numbed me to my opponents rage quitting after getting roflstomped.

MK is bad though… I come from a primarily SF background, and there isn’t a lot of rage quitting in SSFIV.

I get so much rage quits. I’m no good at this game but I think ppl shouldn’t take mk online seriously. I beat ppl with like 500 to zip and lose to ppl that have bad ratio. I usually challenge low disconnect ppl. Generally, I do better against players that are good and methodical since they don’t play risky and I can read them. Anyways, the thing is, almost EVEryone quits after 1 or 2 match. This is rediculous. I’m trying to find someone with a good connection that commits to more than 1 or 2 matches so that I can add them and maybe play more matches to level my game. whether I use the chat or search, everyone will quit after 1 or 2 matches. The chat is horrible, most will deny a match probably bc win streak sucks. Its ridiculous. I want to add good players so that I can level up but almost everyone will quit. most players don’t disconnect but they leave after losing or being intimidated.
