there seems to be too many scums/n00obs who always flee in the middle of a fight and im always one of their victim....so how do we resolve this... ???

how about removing the quit/menu options, meaning the game would only end if someone loses or.... if they are really too damn coward, their only choice is to close the entire window and they will have to load again...howes dat :buttrock:

Hmmm, let's think about this, shall we?

Ok, now imagine that you are playing the game and, sadly, the damnable thing freexes. Once upon a time, you could just leave the game, with the menu bar, and all is good - by freezes I obviously mean that the lag becomes to great, or both guys stand there coz the win pose has screwed up etc etc.

Now, in this scenario you'd have to exit, relog on, etc etc. Ok, not much of a pain, but have it happen a couple'a times in a row and it will be. You can't sacrifice usability to counter a small amount of cheaters - it flies in the face of current usability theory!

I (when I played yonks ago - i gave up the vs coz the lag on my aussie cable is something fierce generally, and it is not a fun experience) thought there was a system where, when you exited you got zapped some points, and that sounds ok. Except that then people who exited due to crazy lag, well, they got a hammered too!

How about this - this game will use udp for comms, right? Like, TCP will give too much unneccesary feedback, riiiight? That is just a FMI point, coz I am kinda curious!

Anyway, what about leaving in the quit button, but when selected the game quickly looks at the lag level, or the ping or whatever you wanna call it! And if it is above some level, then no points deducted, exit.

If it is, then maybe a little screen saying "Sure you want to quit? You will lose x points" - and if they say yeah, well, they lose x points, and the guy playing them - Does he get points or not? Maybe a fraction of the points? I dunno about that one.

Oh, and the little screen should pop up both times!

OK, that is my 4.5 cents (damned GST level keeps rising!))

Cheers
Lobo

yah he's right can't remove it........then people would post "I was playin then the game froze and I couldn't end it.......or things like that........what i do is that I only play the players I know or play against people I already faced and that don't leave the game.........

first: the REMOVE MENU isn't applicable and has already been discussed and the answer was exactly like LOBO said !
it's all because of those FREEZES !

second: if they leave then the WINS goes automaticaly to you because they actually FORFEITED the fight !
so, why bother ? you win a win if they quit before the end of the fight ;)

third: i know what you mean thou, you just loose another fighting chance and that is lame, but nothing we can do, so ENJOY the next one and hope he will not quit, or fight me and have about 5 matches in a row because it's the way i am :laughlong:

removing the menu would be daft i agree and i must say lobo i cant believe you off all ppl would say maybe a pop up should appear and you would only get half the points the second they got to half life they would leave knowing they wouldnt lose as many but what if bye dropping from the game it was a 100 point lose damn wouldnt any off u fight to the death then :0
