3 strikes and you're out?

  I was recently involved in a friendly Alt shot with three other cc members,  we've played each other many times and know none of us are quitters.

  Unfortunately, on this particular round, one of the group was having serious loading issues, so we kept getting brought back to the lobby.

  The other three of us were patient, we knew this guy was a genuine player, not a quitter, and the game was very close,  sudden death in fact.

  Then he had loading issues for a third time and we were threw out of the game.

   

  Is there no way, we can extend the 3 strikes to 5 strikes maybe.  The subject of the 5mins to reconnect has been addressed in other threads, and i agree this time is too long, but to be kicked out of a game because of loading issues sucks.

  I know I'll probably get responses from guys who have suffered from idiots who disconnect deliberately in an attempt to win by skullduggery, but surely a happier medium can be achieved.

  yes

  there should be some other way we can carry on playing if the players are all friends and know we wont quit on each other, it doesnt seem fair to loose out because of loading issues.

  can wgt ditch the % ratio next to are names please

  I for one never ever quit but i have 87% ratio next to my name, was a good idea at 1st but it simply does not work out correct.

  Hi

  it's an interesting notion but unlikely to be improved mostly because  of few things.

  1. if a friend or a foe keep disconnecting at the time then 3 or 5 strikes likely won't help since the game or connection is just bad at the time.

  2. creating such option would need to have it set every game, which is just gonna be ignored or forgotten or more.

  I just think it's not worth looking into and maybe a rare case>?

  Thanks for replying Icon, not the response I wanted to here but a response is better than deathly silence.

  I guess we'll just have to grin and bear it.

  Not so rare as you might think. In fact - happens quite often.

  OK, let's presume it's real.  Where would you put it on the priority list of things to fix?  

  Yeah, me too.  Wayyyyyy wayyyyyyyyy down.
