Re: Unexpected Errors

  Why is the player charged with "discontinuing" a game when an unexpected error comes up? We not only lost the match for 3 of them coming up but doesn't it also affect your "Finish rating"? Can something be done about that?

  very good question i have been playing for over 1000 days straight and for the last couple months i have been kicked off so many times that i have a yellow dot .i had a post put on my wall by a player that thought i just quit and it wasn't very nice . i pay for me and my wifes equipment and she plays more than me but unexpected errors and loading problems have gotten me to a point that i might quit. i hope wgt will answer your question and fix their problems.

  hi

  incomplete game is just that. sadly, there is no way to tell the difference between incompete game and a disconnect.

  I am sure most of us understand this, but what you didn't say was, what WGT is doing to fix this problem.

  Do you use the whole of a players completion record or do you use say the last 25 competitive games.  Using a limited number of past games gives people a quicker route to 'reform' their behaviour.  Also I would much rather see a percentage completion rating than a colour.

  i don't know why everybody is always complaining about WGT. It's a great game, and i thoroughly enjoy it. Who cares about the unexpected errors every so often.

  AFAIK it's the last 100 MP games, excluding A/S.

  Quickest way to recover - as proposed here - is to play some quick&dirty Blitz with a reliable partner and reliable connections. Prepare for 30 to 40 as an example.

  After the introduction in 2012(?), they first showed the numbers but soon changed to the traffic light buttons - apparently, too precise information would confuse their clients(?) At that time, random discons were not as much an issue as they are now, and it appeared weird to me that the company would decide who should be bullied and who shouldn't for something supposedly neutral like "completion rate".

  Now, IMHO, the red stigma serves in part to bully players for issues outside their control, while MP games have lost much of their attraction.
