Online disconnects = wins?

Ze Dingo · May 9, 2015

Has anyone noticed this? I don't care at all about my online stats, but the fact that I have around 64 more wins than I should technically have is bugging me. Why not a "Disconnect" statistic instead?

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Agilaz · May 9, 2015

There IS a disconnect statistic...technically..

MKF30 · May 9, 2015

That's interesting. You know what else I noticed that's stupid IMO, this time in the king of the hill they don't allow the winner/current koth to leave without taking a loss, that's so dumb. What if you won like 10 straight and have to pee or something lol.

Yeah, bad game design.

also notice that if there was a disconnect not leading to a loss/win, people would abuse by pulling the plug (which i actually think some people are doing or force quitting the game on pc just before loss registers) when this happens i dont get quitality and the game goes to session lost, but i have not checked stats as tbh i dont really care about stats with this games online lol

Salty players have been "pulling" since MK first went online back with Deception, so nothing new there. It's just a way for them now to avoid a "quitality" and make it look like a network error.

Either that or they completely forgot about it lol. Maybe they can patch that I think I'll ask that on their twitter. I have to admit this is a first for NRS with the KOTH issue, every game previously you've had the option to leave after you win at some point so it doesn't effect your record. Hopefully they fix that.

lol yeah I remember those people, that's sad that they'd go through all that then reconnect to play again just to avoid a loss.

Was just thinking about this...
This is what gets me- and has been happening tons lately in ranked..

Me vs opponent
My last combo hits to get ready to put him in "Finish Him", long pause/freeze.. Then unfreeze.. "Finish him", perform fatality... They get points just as if they had stayed, then I get booted back to lobby and have to re-search all because "the opponent has left". What kinda bullshit is that?! Give them the loss and no stat points or bumps at all. I don't care if the 1 in 1 million chance happens that it is due to power failure- if that's the case, the person who left only gets punished 1 time because they would not be able to reconnect anyway.

My record is 759-62 in ranked. 297-43 in player and im just an above average player. These matches mean nothing. 1 loss per session wont kill you. Doesnt matter what your record says. If you arent good it wont matter anyways.

After all if im on player matches only playing REALLY good players and I lose most matches. Then I play an undefeated king of scrubs, lot of good that record's gonna do them. Unless its a . . . .conversation piece. But I doubt someones going into a tournament going

"SILLY MORTAL DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?! NUMVER 2 ON THE LEADERBOARD!"

I dont think its a problem. I just hate the long time it takes to disconnect from those microsoft power poin presentatuon fights. sometimes it just crawls for a round and a half before disconnecting. The matches feel longer than Ed boons eye brows!

140% this. My internet isn't all that good, so, I get network errors, but suddenly I find a good connection, start doing combos and stuff and then suddenly, boom, I'm left wondering if it was an error or a pull.

So annoying.

My problem yesterday.
I was getting the 1k respect achievement and was at 17 wins. I was at 99% for 20 mins because everyone was giving me 0 and 1, salt fest.
Eventually a guy gave me the 10 to push me over. I said "Beat me, I gotta pee"

I'll do you one better, back on MK2 for SNES Xband, people used to pick up a phone on the line and blow into it. Force a desynch and avoid the loss.

I had my first on day 1. I believe I saved that as well.

I think if someone doesn't vote then it should at least give a 5.
That same room I joined, 3 people in a row were idle. The horror was it would sit at char select forever, then more time for a variation.
Current King hit em 3-4 times, realized he's AFK and just starts spamming Sub Ice ground pounds... Ends up dragging a dead fight for over 4 minutes.
It felt good to knock him down and hold the title.

Back on SNES it used to say the name of the person you were going to play while it dialed them. So many people used to disconnect the phone line to stop it. Eventually they patched it to just say Opponent so at least you saw who it was before they assed out.

The good old days. Lag so bad, Scorpion could infinite spear you to death.
And there was that MK specific program pad that let you do Liu Kang bicycle kicks at a button press, no need to hold LK 5 seconds. You could link bicycle kicks for 100% damage....

True plus I hate people who give 0, like that's such a sign of disrespect. I prefer they don't vote at all than do that because you're making an effort to say "I give you 0 I'm a dick" lol

Know what I mean?

Also remember the sub zero freeze trolly tactic you can do lol keep freezing him in MK 2.

OutworldKeith · May 10, 2015

Well at least when they quit you still get to finish them after the "freeze".

FINISH HIM!!!
-dancing/disco is fine
-fatality is fine

-tea bag- as in more than a D,D input = automatic 0 score from me. I do not tolerate tea bagging.

The guy who quit on me quit as I was doing the brutality lol so it was weird, it was like I killed him but then hit head blew off anyway lol

haha me neither, that's so lame. I only did it ONCE for the achievement, and to a douche in a room who was running his mouth to everyone and giving me 0's so I felt he deserved it lol otherwise I never do it. Such a waste of time and stupid...I agree.

Eh SnOwY · May 11, 2015

on PC theres a guy with 70 wins 0 loss, he disconnects every time hes about to lose... so stats can be manipulated.

Exactly! I challenge people with really good W/L ratios hoping they can kick my ass, so that I can learn something from playing someone better, but sometimes, they're just atrociously bad players.

Clampa_ · May 11, 2015

I just quit cause I get tired of seeing the same fucking fatalities every single time I lose, so it should be a loss either way.

Yes. Either Sub Zero and deep freeze forever or use Shang, morph to Sub and keep deep freezing.

I was telling my daughter how the CPU in MK was notorious for cheating. I dled MK2 snes rom to show her.
Take Shang and keep tossing single skulls. Time them tight so the opponent stays ducking under them and doesnt get up.
Eventually the AI, while CROUCHED, will just glide across the floor under the skulls and uppercut you.

Arcade MK2 the CPU would always throw you if you tried to throw. Even if you freeze with Sub Zero. They will be blue and still throw you.

I knew all sorts of crap. You can beat me, but I can friendship/babality you, even though I lost.

And that is part of the problem- you lost- take the finisher like a man and move on. I couldn't imagine restarting when I lose.. You don't get tired of rebooting your system? Man, loss streaks with you must be atrocious- lose 4 in a row and you have been playing for 5 hrs because you keep rebooting.

Sounds like a legit logic :coffee:

nikkyMURDER · May 11, 2015

if you cant take the homie kitanas fans just put the controller down let me flawless you an say GG and keep it moving or just back out so the fan can blow your head off for a quitality make it quick! beside I think its bad for the ps4 to keep turning it off and on you get that message
