This undocumented change is ridiculous, but typical of PGI's underhanded behavior

atleast put in some sort of timer, like once 5 minutes have passed if you are dead you can DC

I have never suicide farmed, it is not lucrative

it never was lucrative, over the past 7-8 months of the open beta economy

I never noticed teammates doing suicide farming

PGI just lost another paying customer


I REFUSE, TO WATCH MY TEAMMATES DIE

EVERY MATCH

IF I DIE BEFORE THEM

THIS IS EVEN WORSE IN CONQUEST MATCHES, IF YOU HAVE A SPIDER WHO LIKES TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK

WORST CHANGE SINCE SRM NERF

I was wondering why only the wins where I stayed alive made any cash

Silly monkey. You still get paid fully if you disconnect, you just have to wait until the match is over (obviously, or else how would they know how many assists you got?)

Or, PGI is teh evilz!

You obviously missed this discussion. To combat suicide/afk farmers they changed the reward system so that rewards accumulated after you die (salvage, assists after you die, conquest resource bonuses) are only applied if you wait until the end of the match.

Not saying they are teh evilz, but they did sneak thin one in on us.

I believe the changed the system so that you only get Assist rewards if you stick around in the match (either alive or observing) until the target is dead. However, if you die and then disconnect, you will still receive your Kill rewards and your win/loss bonuses, and any assists from enemy Mechs you scratched that wound up dying before you did.

The system is designed to prevent people from accumulating a hoard of Assist Bonuses by scratching the whole enemy team and disconnecting from the match before any of those enemies die. If you scratch them all and spectate, then you'll get your assists. If you kill 2 enemies and die, then disconnect right away, you'll still get 2 kill rewards because you killed them. If you kill 2 enemies, scratch 2 others but leave them alive, then you die and disconnect right away... then you'll get 2 kills but no assists (whether or not those targets get killed by your team later in the match). if you kill 2 and scratch 2, then die and spectate... you'll get your 2 kills and 2 assissts.

However, in light of the pre-existing thread linked by Darwins Dog (http://mwomercs.com/...ge-dc-crediting) I will close this thread and redirect discussion to the pre-existing one.
