[quote]In my quest for Vanguard gear, I was left alone by two quitters. Just to spite them, I not only completed the strike on my own, but earned Flawless Striker, as well, since I never died. That being said, I think there should be a penalty, and a hefty one, for quitting strikes. Something like disallowing them from going anywhere/doing anything except go to the tower for a while would be a good start. For reference, I was in the Vanguard Tiger playlist (or whatever the level 24 stirke playlist is called). Also, being a level 25 Titan Defender helped. Any suggestions? Thoughts? Edit: I've said this enough in the comments, but I'll have to put it here. Quitting and connection issues are different. The game definitely knows the difference, and connection issues wouldn't/shouldn't be punished.[/quote] I literally know them feels. I've solo'd that moffugah with no deaths too. Was when I found out how good fusion rifles were against Phogoth.

The great thing about this app is u can check stories . U sir r not lying . Don't know if u exploited a bug or not but u did do it without a single death.

To deflate your ego a bit, I guarentee you exploited the wall bug to kill Phogoth, but even getting there is good work. As for penalties, I would suggest the League of Legends LeaverBuster. You accumulate points for every leave and lose points for successive finishes in a game. Once you hit a certain amount of points you are banned for a length of time with successive bans increasing in duration. If you are repeatedly disconnecting, resolve your internet issues before going into multiplayer.

That's a ridiculous suggestion. What about involuntary disconnects? What about needing to quit for real life reasons like a strike running long and needing to go to work or school or take a crap? If you finished it alone and got a trophy why complain? You know if people quit it will usually match new players in so if you are not good enough to get through a spot alone you can just wait a few min. It's not like it really matters with randoms anyway since you can't talk to them or coordinate in any way they might as well be npc.

I dislike people who ditch as much as the next guy and get very frustrated when I get left alone during a strike, but what about people who get disconnected? I have, on several occasions, been disconnected from my strike/mission due to Internet problems. I feel bad for the people I left but I can't do anything about that. How would you address a problem like that?

There's a problem with what you're saying. A lot of times when ppl leave a strike it's because they get kicked, not because they quit

I had to quit recently because my child was crying. Sure, punish those responsible parents.. But seriously, you're better off befriending reliable people, making friends and sticking to those groups.

They should be locked out from doing any other strikes for a minimum of an hour. Take a durability loss to their armor, damage reduction from their weapons. Or be forced to play with low level characters to help them get gear while they get no XP or any rep and currency

I never quit strikes but on 3 occasions Iv been kicked just as the strike started (disconnection) I know that's not the case most of the time but please bare in mind that not everyone who leaves does so thru choice :)

The penalty should run a check on server disconnects and if it wasn't a server disconnect a quit from a strike makes it so you can't get vanguard marks on your next attempted strike, same with crucible.

I think not letting them keep all the engrams, grimoire, and xp that they've collected so far would be fair.

Bump?
