This disconnect penalty is a BAD IDEA.

1. I don't see a rash of discnnects that seriously impact game play. (Clowns who go hide in a corner are MUCH more frustrating than the occasional disconnect.)

2. punishing players for the failure of the game designers to build a stable, or entertaining product is the wrong approach. if you, the buisness, are not satisfying the customer (the player) you need to focus on how to satisfy the customer, not punish the customer for your own failures!

They maybe just wanna use us as beta tester for their new disco-meter only designed for theirs events ^^

- Ok ours betatesters monkeys are happy with new disconect penalty system.?
- They stay also they must be happy maybe we should improve or add more useless features?
- Yes we can. If they stay it mean they like and also they realise they needed it before.
- It's democratic like our voting system xD.

I have no issue with this. 3 minutes to reconnect to the game is more than adequate to get back into the match.

This is implemented to go along with voting to dissuade players from disconnecting because they don't like the map or game mode that was voted on by the rest of the group.

Well, I have a huge problem with the disconnect penalty because I only disconnect due to game crash - like black screen of death. I have to quit in order to re-join in hopes I reconnect in time. Sometimes the sync takes forever. Why have windowed mode if I can't use my multi-tasking computer for other things while waiting for a search (up to 5 minutes sometimes) then when getting back to the game it crashes. FIx this first before trying to punish my disconnect.

Obviously I will have to do nothing else until this gets fixed. The patch may have addressed this, and I hope 3 minutes is enough to re-connect.

Remove disconnect penalty. Remove voting. Problem solved.

Have seen 3 Disconnects - pretty much in line with the usual patchday amount.

Had an infinite loading crash i relized when my PC Cooling Fans suddenly spinned down and had to reboot - rejoined after ~5 mins and got the 10sec. DC Penalty.

Had 2x DC from Server Message - no clue what about...
