I am currently having serious router issues, which is disconnecting me from the internet for a few seconds. Long enough to stall out the game and disconnecting me from the match. I am in most cases able to log back in and back into the match. Sometimes I'm dead, sometimes I can continue on successfully in the match. However even when I can make it back into the match I get to endure the "MWO Timeout" automatic penalty. This is bad for the game and me, its one less pilot for the game to place into a match, and it annoys the crap outta me... yes the second one probably doesn't matter. Anyway I have a good 5 minute penalty this time, so you get this forum post, enjoy.

GET RID OF THE AUTOMATED PENALTY

please...

pretty please...

Yours Sincerely,
Geminiwolf

Are you aware of the fact that the automatic penalty System is in place to protect others from players that are unwilling or unable to finish a match in a positive, teamrelevant way?

Since you seem to have a general problem that is not the others fault you might consider not to play as long as you could potentially disrupt other peoples games, rather than demanding to shut of the system that protects other people from getting their games disrupted by players that repetitively diconnect.

I'm not in favor of removing the penalty for the reason just stated, but I would like to see the timeout threshold increased.

I have a fairly fast machine, but in the rare circumstance it crashes mid-match (say my video card driver craps the deck), it is not possible to get back into the match within 2 minutes. Booting to the desktop takes 30 seconds, but as soon I log into mwo the game client I have to wait for loading.... loading.... loading... loading.... ok .... no wait, loading..... loading.... loading....

I agree with this as well. A mere 2 meager minutes is NEVER enough time to properly reload and reconnect. Threshold before the Penalty hits should be upped to at least 4 Minutes, at a minimum. Frankly, I would prefer to give people benefit of the doubt and make it 5 before somebody gets slammed. But hey, that's just me, right?

yeah the mechlab loadingtimes take ages, I wish the mechlab itself would be placed a bit different not making it mandatory to load for rejoining a match
