Tired of disconnectors

Wii-Bhoy · 08-15-2007, 12:27 PM

if youre playing online its just no fun if people disconnect. it takes the fun and tension stuff like that out of the game.

hey evolve82 stop posting like 5.

Madden online lets you continue playing against the CPU when the connection is lost. It's a decent solution.

SIMPLE!!

something could be done where you rate the user's profile, if he's a quitter rate him lower so he gets paired with the other disconnectors. only problem are the sore losers who may rate them low because they lost, although chances are that they would have diconnected already. i think that would be a good idea, too late for strikers but ,maybe the next online game like brawl or mario kart.

First off, I think the best and easiest solution is to just give the points for a victory to the person who didn't d/c regardless of score. If your connection is that bad where you d/c all the time, then don't play. I mean I wouldn't care if a person d/c if I get the points for a victory plus the number of goals that I had.

Can't nintendo update the game via our wi-fi connection. I mean I thought another game had an update as soon as you tried to play it, maybe super paper mario, I don't quite remember which one it was.

It is kind of funny how people quit a lot considering you aren't penalized for losing. Sure your record looks not as good but hey, who cares...

It drives me mad too. We all have bad games and get frustrated but disconnecting because of it is just wrong. The other day I don't think I finished a single series all morning!!!

Evolve82 · 08-16-2007, 02:42 PM

We will see what happen in the new games that are comming out... Nintendo have to do something!! Not sure bout updating the game via connect 24. Will be interesting to hear opinions on this!

penguinphil · 08-16-2007, 04:29 PM

i dont think you can really update a game that way. You couldn't change the information on the disk. The only way to update games via the wiiconnect would be if the games were "installed" on the wii hard drive itself (which they aren't)

If only nintendo would create a lobby system where you could choose who to play based on their rank and other information, but oh well

That is a very very very good idea!! Why dont they do that? and also combine it with the rating system mentioned earlier!!

Perfect answer?!

My friend has MSC also and we played online for the first time yesterday. We were winning but then we got disconnected. We found out that the problem wasn't them but actually that my friend just had a crappy wi-fi. I guess some people have interference between the Wii and the Wireless router and have crappy connections. He's going to get a Lan Adaptor this weekend. So i guess what i'm trying to say is that sometimes people have crappy wi-fi connections that get blocked either through electronic devices between the wii and the wireless or something, not all disconnectors are ragers. Some just have crappy connections.

penguinphil · 08-16-2007, 04:38 PM

it's a very involved thing to make. (not that nintendo doesn't have the capabilities) I could see it working much like how MSN games used to be or how pogo/yahoo is set up. This way you don't end up having someone on the top 10 leaderboard playing someone who just put the game in for the first time.

Sovieto · 08-16-2007, 04:40 PM

to little 10 yr olds online record = life record
it makes em look more pro if they have no loses!!! but go to play them and youll win!
its not like you getting anything for winning (points do.........exactly) so when someone d/cs just d/c yourself and pat yourself on the back, you beat him so hard he had to d/c. Now, does it really sound THAT bad?

penguinphil · 08-16-2007, 04:43 PM

also, if someone d/c on you, you still get the points for the amount of goals you scored. Someone d/c on me my first game of the season, so i went into my next game with a 0-0 record, but with 1 point.

This doesn't explain the fact that so many oeople do it in the last game of the series just before the timer runs out! (when they are loosing!)

you would be right if people were also disconnecting while they were winning. has anybody seen anyone disconnect after they scored 5/6 megastrikes, scored the winning goal in sd, or just skunked you in the first 2 minutes. no, its normally the other way around. they are doing it on purpose its obvious. if you notice, the people that disconnect, usually disconnect on the third game, if they won one already. plus if they had shatty connections, wouldnt it show in the connection stars. how do you know your friend had crappy wifi? how do you know the person didnt disconnect. they should let us know if they do or not. it would solve alot of problems.

edit:i appreciate the people who continue to play even though they are losing. i had two online matches today, where i thought they were going to disconnect but they didn't. one match was tied one a piece, and i scored 4 goals quickly. surprising they didnt d/c and i beat them 10-1. another match the person didnt even get a shot off at my goalie during one game and i won 8-0. and the next game i got two 6orange megastrikes. surprisingly, no disconnections. so i appreciate the people who take the whooping like man/woman, and keeps playing making the games enjoyable for the winner

thank you!

Very true, the disconnect is always about 5 seconds after you score the winning goal etc!!!
