TWO IMPORTANT NOTES:

1) I am NOT a Bungie employee. Sending me private messages regarding feedback on the Beta, this thread, or your own thread, will NOT result in it being more likely to be seen by Bungie.

2) Feedback about the Beta's banhammer and/or quitting timeouts will generally not be seen by Bungie unless it is posted in THIS thread.

Hello! Please use this thread to give feedback on the Reach: Beta Banhammer, Quitting Timeouts, and similar issues. Please take the time to create a well-thought-out, well-written, and descriptive post. "Quitting penalties suck" or "banhammer rulz" is not a helpful post.

Please do NOT use this thread to "call out" or identify any individual players you suspect of cheating, evading the banhammer, or for any other reason.

Please do not report bugs here. Please instead use this thread to report any banhammer glitches, bugs, and problems (posting videos, screenshots, and ways to replicate the problem is encouraged in that thread).

All forum rules apply and will be enforced in this thread. Please play nice :-)

i agree. Once someone has quit the game. The odds of the team(of the person who quit) Are slim to none. It's near impossible. Yes i understand there are times you win but makee the penalty harsher.

I seem to have a lot of my random Battle Bros in Invasion quit out on me within the first 30-45 seconds of a match. I can't think that it has anything to do with the tide of the battle at that point, the game has just begun. Is there some kind of host situation happening behind the scenes between the matched players on each squad?

I think the repetitive quitter time out is a good idea, but it needs a bit of refining.

It could be something like social where they're getting matched against people that destroy them or they have a poor connection. There needs to be something like that.


Maybe if your k/d is past a certain point, like -20 spread? or your connection is on red bar and you quit the time out won't apply. It's pretty easily abused tho.

But I like it so far. Seeing less half empty half full games



Also, why not a teamkilling timeout?
Kicked from 2 games = 15 minutes
3 games in a nite (after the 15 minute, another kick) 30 mins
4 a nite, 1 hour

ect

it seems like it will definately help keep people from quiting. but it seems like it wont keep casual quiters from quiting. There should be a 3 minute wait for quiting no matter what with more serious countermeasures later.

Penalty for quitting like a big one. Try gears 2 they take like 1 thousand i think well i know they make it so you don't wanna quit.

This is off topic but yeah that gears really messed me up! I lagged out of my first ever online match and I got around -6million or something like that, I was stuck at level 1 forever, so I sold it.

But I love the idea of quitting timeouts!

i think the best thing is to just block matchmaking for 30 minutes everytime someone quits. if they needed to go take care of some irl business, they won't even notice the 1/2 hour ban. Those who quit because they were down 10 points will have a half hour to think about how they should have stuck it out.

I don't think I should be banned at all for quitting for whatever reason. Unless I'm quitting out of 10-20 games a day, I should only lose credits or whatever and get on with my play.

If I'm not having fun, or if my internet sucks, I shouldn't be banned.

Only people who quit EXCESSIVELY (like more than 15% of their total games played or maybe just 10%).

The only real solution would be a timeout. I think that it would be extremely unfair to take credits away from the player because people sometimes lag out or have to leave. What if someone has an emergency or starts a game and then has to go somewhere. A timeout penalty would affect people who rage quit and try to go back into matchmaking, but it wouldn't affect people who have to quit for personal reasons.

I don't quit much but i do sometimes. Not because the gametype or map but because i have other things to do and don't want to burden my partners, and if my parners suck or kill steal to much. I don't think i should get banned from that.

I do agree with the timeout ban though it will keep constant quiter from doing this.

I don't think there should be any penalty for people leaving. Not everyone rage quits. Sometimes the internet goes out, a friend hops on that we want to join (not half an hour later), or we actually have something more important to do than play video games.

Instead of spending so much time and effort on finding ways to punish people, it should be invested in a drop in drop out system for players so that people quitting won't even be an issue anymore.

Also, having people being able to simply choose what gametype they play instead of voting for it will probably cut down on the quitting to begin with.
