I'm more bothered about the number of people entering a match and just afk'ing almost the whole thing, if not the entire match.

You do realize that the client is quasi unstable and crashes to desktop more often then it should, right?

I am glad I don't worry about K/D ratio, or I would shoot myself. Mine is something like 0.1
still a fun game though, when you suck as bad as I do, getting one kill makes my whole night!

[Fooooo]

I had a CTD again last night jumping off the ridge from the middle cave exit on frozen. This time however no enemys were firing at me or around me bar 2 of my teammates.

The weird thing was when I restarted the client and got into the mechlab my mech wasn't locked and I could launch with it right away......thats never happened before when i've CTD'ed in the past. The match was about 30 - 60 seconds in and nobody had died so there is no way it finished that fast to unlock the mech.

You may find yourself suited to a different build than you are currently using. =P

I report people for it....already several times I've sent msg's to support@mwomercs.com

I don't want to see people who have pc/game issues and dc in the first minute get punished, but people who DC 2 seconds before I kill them when they had just been running around and shooting back is BS.
Heck, I get the bug where your screen goes black and/or flickers and looks like it is was drawn by a ******** infant monkey and I still fight, at least camp base and sometime I shoot in the direction of the sound when people shoot at me. I actually got a kill like this last night. All I could see was a red square...so I shot at it...it died, and I'd been practically blind the whole match.

You're stats are only accurate if you don't pad them, with crap tricks like this dc nonsense.

If you care about padded stats, thanks to all your DC's, and especially if you then go and talk about/compare those stats with others..You are pathetic.

You apparently take your games WAY too seriously. This game crashes often which is probably well over 50% of what you are seeing when some one discos or seems to go AFK.

Like I said, nothing we can really do about it. It's just sad, is all. Just needed to vent.

[IIIuminaughty]

I mean If I was bad too I would alt f4 also, but im not and my win/loss and K/D reflects that so im good

Oh, you serious? lol

[Ghogiel]

^AFKs and DC's happen all the time, but right before they get pwnt is suspect imo and if you are bothered by that sort of thing, worth a report.

They wont get into trouble if it's a rare case, so little harm in reporting them if it's a genuine DC. but if they get multiple reports.. then perhaps something will be done about them. I personally doubt anything will be done about it. But whatever floats your sandwich.

[John Norad]

I think both Atl+F4'ing and caring too much about K/D ratio are silly.
But I do understand some people need their e-peen stroked, so a kill on a disconnected mech should still register as a kill. It doesn't really hurt anyone.

[Dawg]

Ive crashed mid game while in the mix of things a few times due to the ctd bug. What i do now is relog in in after 5 or 6 games and it seems to be ok and rarely get a crash. The people that do disco know they are being a pewsy and prob dont give a damn about your missed kill.

dunno, some ppl think that other ppl think they are cool or s.t. if they post their Kill/Death ratio somewhere...

Although it give no tactical advantage, its a slap in the face, and I think thats why people do it - to rob the person of a kill. You dont get the credit for a kill - you get "Player has killed" because you've just fragged a disco. Its just a petty way to insult the other players.

[Lyteros]

I've experienced a few times where my game crashed and closed itself just as I was about to die... maybe that bug is happening more often now?

(Of course there will always be these idiots who think themself smart when they close the game they are about to lose, and then look at their stats with "pride"...)

[Stickjock]

Personally, I believe Onyx has the right of it... report those players that you observe doing this... after all, it IS a form of Farming, which is a violation of the CoC/ToU...

Let Support investigate and take action where necessary... enough times and those players that habitually do this will not be around long...

[MadPanda]

I've never seen anyone dc just before I killed them. Maybe they are just always surprised when I kill them?

G4M3R, on 11 November 2012 - 05:48 AM, said:

So don't know if you folks have noticed the increasing disturbing trend of people Alt-F4ing when their Mech is about to explode - with the idea of perserving their Kill-Death ratio (disconnect so no death recorded in profile).

It's happening much more often now and it's very annoying because it wastes everyone's time. Although the killer does get XP, he in turn does not register a Kill for his stats.

What could possibly be in someone's mind to do something loser-ish and cheesy like this? To perserve a Kill-Death ratio? My two cents, those people need to get a life.

Not much we can do about it I guess. Sorry just venting.

I'm sorry why should you care? I have had team mates game crash and their mech is still in the game and the otherside got the kill. so it does not effect your score or cb. so quit worrying about what the other guy does.

Yes but overreaction is just as bad. We as players can't that the game crashes randomly. Blame PGI, not the players who suffer from the disco bug

[Catalinasgrace]

I don't guess I have ever seen this happen, however last night I did see someone in chat trying to tell someone how to alt-F4 out of the game. I do have to say though, since the last patch that knocked the LRMs down I have been crashing about every 4-5 matches. When it happens it is always right as I get into a fight, and things are flying all over the place. No errors, just striaght to the desktop.

While I understand your argument and have seen games set out with systems designed to punish people who just have a crash, the case where people simply disappear from a match only happens in one situation - they alt f4.

If you crash or disconnect, your mech remains in the field, and often times is locked in a circle-strafe pattern doing nothing.

Some of those AFK players may be black-screeners...
