Re: The Disconnect Percentage

  I am quite supportive of the overall premise behind it but I do have several concerns.

  Firstly, if I am playing a blitz game with 3 other payers and the "Host" decides to diconnect when his turn next comes up, no one else can play or do anythng ese with the game so we all have to disconnect. Would that count against me with respect to my disconnect percentage?

  Secondly, if one of the players in a game has technical diffculty with his or her IP and the player gets diconnected through no fault of his or her own, does that count against that player's disconnect percentage, if no, how does WGT identify the technical probem versus a voluntary disconnect?

  Thirdly, I do not agree with this 5 minute "grace period" to allow a disconnected player to come back to the game If a player notifies other players in a game that he has to leave for whatever reason, the remaining players, perhaps the "new host".could take some action to reduce or remove this "grace period" altgether.

  1) Yes, because you didn't finish the round.

  2) Yes, it does count, because he didn't finish the round. WGT can't tell the difference, as Icon stated several times.

  This is disconnect percentage is BS! When the other team forfeits a alternate shot game or match play my percentage goes down.

  WGT needs to fix this or get rid of it.

  Seems like it might be a good idea to put in an "Agree To Quit" option that doesn't hurt anyone's %.

  i agree had a player who after 5 minutes couldnt conect to start the game so i had to forfiet so this goes againt me it is *** wgt maybe before player can sign up to play they have to mak sure they have system requirements that they need to play so sick of players disconecting and sitting around for 5 minutes this is the worst rule they have put into the game it really needs pissing of

  It goes against your completion %% regardless who's responsible: An uncompleted game is an uncompleted game.
