(pvp) loser disconnects? Auto give corrupted hands

[frid.13]

Something has to be done with this. Had some really good battles and really close calls and I wanna say 70-80% have disconnected because they just didn't want to take the L. Wasted so many resources in these fights.

Look. I've taken sooo many Ls on those cheesy lightsaber spammy builds and I've finally found my workaround with a wither focused/parry dmg build. Now that I'm uncheesable the left clickers haul ass before they die and then disconnect. Tsk tsk. Aaagh and some of these games were down to the last heal too.

Please for my honor, give us the dub if they disconnect. And there has to be a penalty. If you dc, you lose 1.5x (so -14 hands, rounding up) the amount of corrupted hands you would normally win. And 2x the amount if you used a charred finger (-54 hands). Because I know a lot of you invaders came into my world very confident that you were gonna get another cheesy dub. And honestly drop the 0 cap, let the balance go negative if they keep disconnecting. I'm sure these guys would have it the negative thousands of it didn't go their way.

Overall though I've been enjoying the game. I enjoy all of my fights whether I win or lose as long as it's fought from start to finish. Call it a warriors code I guess. But I've had it with some of these cowards.

Yes I know it's a souls-like game and yes there are going to be cheesy players but I like fighting against all builds cheesy, spammy, porkrolly, all the food metaphor builds I could care less. I just run longsword, two-handed, no spellcasts, finding my window to go in, dodge or parry. I've been having a pretty good run today but unsatisfied with the outcome of these battles. Didn't mean to go on a rant here I just really love pvp and I love souls-like games. Besides that I've really enjoyed the game and honestly probably one of the few that have never experienced those crashing issues as of late since release. My only complaint would be to polish up netcode, some of these pvp matches run fine but a handleful of them I had to really learn how to lag parry and all the teleporting fights o.O a spammer's dream.

That would be nice to get hands more , and it also waste your charred finger.
50%+ matches are disconnects 25% matches are people who take zero damage and dont die unless u get to kick them off ledges or let the reaper kill them. The rest of matches are fun

LOL that's how I killed one of those guys too. Did zero dmg but was able to wither his health away and bring him into umbrel. He started to run when his health was low and tried to recover but I soulflayed his ass from a ledge. Ez 27 hands from a guy that's probably level 1 million.

I did find a counterargument to my idea though. I've been having battles where they do nothing but run and just waste your time. Not even trying to fight and it's soooo frustrating. So idk because in that case I really want to disconnect lol

Maybe they can implement a timer system or a zone that gets smaller like in those battle royale games?

Invaders can suck it. I had two today who came in, ran away to hide behind every single OP enemy when they started losing. You deserve all the DC's and no rewards that everyone gives you.

Or just stop taking it so seriously and learn to enjoy the disconnects as a reward in and of themselves. You beat them psychologically, and leaving scars on their ego like that is worth more than some disposable trinket or token.

You dont have to shut the game down. You can literally go through the in game menu and hit the quit to main menu button. It also doesnt risk your save file getting corrupted.
