just a little comment...
we all know TMyApp created this game and everything in it including lag (unintentionally?), so WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A SYNC LOSS OF SCORE whenever this problem occur?

i mean, we all know its neither the players fault this $hit happens, so why does it always have to be a LOSS to a score when either players quits? why cant we just NULL and/or VOID the fight?

someone would argue that one who quits a game deserves to lose his score for quitting BUT id say, he just wants to cancel the match, probably he predicts that the game he is playing is crap or he knows hes just gonna lose, so why does it have to be a loss in score?

why did TMyApp made it this way in the first place?

so tell me...how many, in terms of percentage, SYNC LOSES come from loss of internet connection and how many from quitting games?

if the percent of the former is greater than the latter, then i see no good reason is has to be this way

scenario...

two ppl playing then suddenly, connection got lost, the one who loses the connection painstakingly waited for his connection to come back while the other player who doesnt lose the connection also waits

both players dont want to lose either points until finally, the player who doesnt lose the connection decided to sacrifice his game while the other who DID lose the connection still waited and the result? he who did lose the connection DIDNT lose the points while the other who didnt lose it

kinda reverse scenario when in fact it shouldve been the other way around huh?

the buttom line?

make sync loses void and/or null

maybe it would be to hard for him to input codes or whetever he puts in to make the game work, saying that whenever someone loses connection like that to differ from a regular loss. maybe it would be too much work to make the game do that... but im not sure what im talking about so its ne ones guess

We cant make it that when sync loss happens that you dont lose a point, because people could just leave the game when there losing, so that they escape a loss on there score! Im not sure how to come about this problem... i think we just gotta live with it :(

bloodpack, its just normal that you don't remember the DISCONNECT VOLUNTARILY cheating we had back then !

before you joined people could quit the game whatever they wanted to, without any lost to their score !
but then, eveytimes a user was about to get KOed, the quitted the game voluntarily... that way they didn't had a lost counted in there score !

we know it was voluntary cause about half the community did it when there was no need to !
that's why quiting a game gives you a loss.
as for the sync problem... well, if the sync is lost, then the game already finds who has lost the sync, but then no points are given, or so i think !

the only way to win a point today, is to reduce the other user to zero HP. i think its the only way !

anyway... the game is fine as it is...
playing for ranks is so bad anyway !
i mean's it matter if you got losses to your score ?
it means you are human after all !

heres the bottom line idea

remove the menu option once your inside the fighting arena but keep it when youre still on the character selection screen
in this way, the only WAY OUT is to finish a fight so for those sissies who wanna flee, you can either firght to the death or face annihilation

what if i suddenly lose connection? that's good question

then instead of seeing...
sync lost, waiting for other player
put
sync lost,fight will be void in *count down*
until internet reconnection resumes

ok, as far as it goes, this idea is way better then your first one, i would actually buy the last one !

yeah, a VOID MATCH if connection is not synched again...
yeah i love that idea !

but if you don't know...
someone who hit the little X button in the upper corner of the screen results in a quitting game.
and there is stricly no way to make that impossible to close.
so they can still do that quit voluntarily cheat !

anyway... i think it goes in the same way as it actually make the game goes out of sync !

anyway...
wouldn't people abuse it ?
i think the answer is yes anyway...
cause the fact is... they do it because they don't want a loss on their rank... so if it voids the fight, then it still give them the result they would want !

so i don't know about all this...
but i'm with you all the way for the last idea you said !

Well half of the fights I have is sync lost and all that stuff or my screen goes down without me shutting it. So basically I have gotten 30loses because of that and the other because I lost.
