Dragon Ball Fighterz Implements Rage Quitting Measures
- Thread starter Noctis
- Start date
This is pretty harsh, since online lobbies are the only way to play with friends... I get the penalty if it'd ban you from ranked and lobby matches for a week, but banning from online lobbies (meaning ring matches, event fights, etc) seems like waaaay too much. Also, what's this about potentially being banned permanently?

If you're a notorious rage quitter you get perma banned, which is pretty damn awesome.
RIP Hyde Gackt finally.
Yeah, seems like they went to the extreme with the punishment. I hope they take into account the, although rare, instances where your connection might actually fuck up and log you out of the platform. Being banned from the online lobby for one whole week is way too much, make it a 24 hour period after 2 disconnections or something like that. I also hope they are clear about how this works, the in-game statement is rather vague.
Great news. I'm sure they'll have a system in place to distinguish between genuine connection errors and rage quits, and I'm sure you'll get totally legitimate God of Destruction rank players with 20,000 wins and 3 losses cry about being unfairly banned.

Fucking finally. This is waaaaaay too late tbh. This needed to be there soon after the game launched.
It actively put me off attempting to get better at ranked when every second person rage quit as soon as they were about to lose.
For those who don't play the game, it's plagued with rage quitters who quit right before they lose.
You don't get the win when they do this.

They quit just before the match ends meaning they don't lose points, and you don't get any.
Can Bamco/ArcSys distinguish when someone ragequits intentionally versus when someone legit disconnects thanks to the crappy internet?
Like I'm sure all the people here praising this will get annoyed as fuck is they have legit internet issues and can't get into the lobby to play with friends
I would have only done it for an hour and then increase the punishment if it was repetitive, and also I would have implemented it for ranked. Or better, go the mortal kombat route and punish you with points instead of banning you

If you notice your crap connection after two times you should stop playing online for that moment easy as that.
It's great that they do this.
Can't they just count a disconnection as a loss? That seems like it would solve the issue pretty easily without going into these crazy penalties.
If I seem to have connection issues the last thing I'm going to do is go play ranked in a fighting game.
Yeah. Xfinity cuts me out at the most random of moments. Should be a tiered system based on frequency.
I know it's only a game, but it's the equivalent of if in any team based sports competition, one team could just walk off the pitch whenever they felt like it and no one would win or be penalized.
Uhm yes. You don't get banned immediately.
A game like Rainbow Six Siege is even more brutal in regards to this.
If you are continually rage quitting matches then I don't see the issue here. Maybe a week off will do them good to cool down.
I was wondering that as well. Legitimate disconnections can't be that common.
So maybe they should just give you the win instead of banning someone for a week?
"Too Harsh"
As far as I'm concerned, if you engage in this activity, Bandai Namco can come to your house and break your disc in front of you and it wouldn't be too harsh.

You think they shouldn't be banned? Why should toxic behavior like continual rage quitting not be punished?

A defense force for unsportsmanlike conduct.
If permanate banning users caught cheating is fine its also fine to temp ban users abusing the system to not take a loss.

Sorry, can you explain how it's toxic if you're still rewarded the win?
Yes?
I've been playing a lot of Maxiboost On and I get hit with 10 min. "timeouts for match disconnects" when... I haven't once initiated a disconnect. Usually it happens in ranked rooms with wi-fi warriors with two bars, the connection starts to drop and I get punished for it?
iT's JuSt A gAmE though...
It's not about the win, but about having a full match till the end.
I don't think you understand how common rage quits are in DBFZ. People rage quit on me every other match in -casuals- (unranked)
It literally says for repeat offenders (we'll see if this is actually the case). So if your connection continuously sucks instead of just once in awhile, then maybe you shouldn't be playing online.
If you don't think rage quitting/bad sportsmanship is bad or toxic then I don't know what to say to you.
It's really not difficult to be a good sport and not throw your toys out of the pram now is it?
Good. I don't play anymore but it's definitely something that I wished had been implemented earlier.
That's not solving the problem at all. Just stop them playing altogether.
These are the same people who'll be messaging people racist and homophobic bs after rage quitting. i Have no time for them.

i've seen it all Fam.. make this across all fighting games.
perma ban or keep them in ranking quitting hell away from the general population. Let rage quitters quit on rage quitters! Have it IP locked.
The only people I can imagine being mad about this are rage quitters themselves. There's no defense for rage quitting, regardless of how the win is doled out.
I think a week is a bit harsh (but ultimately deserved if you keep RQing) but I am just SHOCKED that users on resetera dot com think punishing RQers is unfair.
Yes, I agree that wi-fi users shouldn't be allowed in ranked matches but this is a controversial opinion here.
To be fair I'm not defending it, I'm glad they're going hard on RQers, I just wish they were more clear about it because I'd hate to be banned for a week if my connection happened to randomly act up and I disconnected. It's happened to me in SFV 2 or 3 times in 4 years playing that game and while it is rare, it'd still be bad if it happened to someone who didn't really RQ. As for the permaban, I have no issues with that, permaban the fuckers who keep doing it.
