Thread: Forbiding exiting the game

  1. #1

    Default Forbiding exiting the game

    Since many players tend to exit the game at the last seconds (mostly because they dont have the best score, thing that is totally stupid, possibly an after-effect of a spoiled life if u ask me :P ) i really wonder if it could be forbidden. Not during the whole match, i understand why that could be annoying, but at least for the last 30 seconds or so.

    Hi!

    If someone leaves the game during a match, they will lose everything they earned, so that should already be a big enough deterrent.

    that is a big deterrent but it only applies to penguins who have done something , i've also experienced this problem at the start of a match after using a fire mine or molotov only for them to leave while its mid air as they haven't any points they wont lose anything, wasted way to much ammo this way

    Another possible solution is limiting players to being able to leave only on their turn.

    That really affect the final score bonus. If they disconnect or exit the game doesn't matter, if they enter the game they should count anyway in the final score.
    Leave an icon of a chicken in the box of the player that leaves :P.-

    That isn't a bad idea

    I like the chicken icon idea too.

    Maybe something similar could be done to the penguin in the game as well? (i.e. still there, attackable, doing chicken emotes...). If you leave the game your avatar remains. And you can't start another until the current game is over. That should prevent people from leaving just because they didn't like the outcome of the game. It will also fix the issue with the wasted ammo.

    Seems like there's a lot of unintended dropping out of games too, due to bugs, connection issues and whatnot... Instead of instant kick from the game if the game can't connect with you, maybe your avatar can remain idle ingame in case you manage to reconnect. This could be limited to a round or two, to avoid long games waiting for idle players/players who left.

    GREAT IDEA...
    i agree that there's really nothing stopping these deserters from dropping out cause the maps not right, or, the 1 real reason, that most of the time they are J*ck*ss's!!!

    making it so they can't join another room if they quit until the current game is finished would be awesome...
    and maybe a bonus of a little EXP points for those who remain...

    Maybe after a set amount of drop outs, the persons overall exp would be (-) neg affected
