online mode - temporary ban users that disconnect often while racing

[montevarchi02]

I dont' like at all the online races cos a lot of users, expecially on fast lap race, disconnect to a room while race is still on, so that the users that finished the race don't gain any credits or very low credits becouse only one or few users complete the race.

So there're 2 solutions (one or both are good for me)

1) GT6 calculate the credits for players at the START of the race and not at the end so that credits don't depend to how many users ends the race like now.

2) GT6 send a warning when a user choose to disconnect while race is running. After for example 3 warning in a day or 5 in a week user have to be banned for a week to online races.

Number (1) could be open to abuse in boosting earnings?

Number (2) could work.

I feel for you. Sounds like a real PITA. The donkey sort, not the bread.

I'm refraining from voting only because I only race with friends, and have no actual experience of the issue, and am not qualified to cast an opinion. Good luck!!

2 can punish the innocent.

Go with one, credit abuse doesn't even matter in the game anyway. Not to mention that payouts are totally backwards, having a guaranteed win against the AI can pay out millions while struggling to race good drivers and even managing to win gives basically nothing.

Do you think? Accidental disconnection should appear differently to deliberate disconnects at the GT server. I think.

I agree for now! Won't get rich with online play!

I'm thinking that the meager online winnings policy may change, in which case, that may turn the tables, and it's worth thinking forward to this.

Online winnings are currently far to low - they could be increased by a factor of ten or even a factor of 100.

Given that they are so low number 1 is a good idea and I don't see how it can be subject to abuse. When I host races disconnection is a problem, but it is not normally voluntary and it is much worse with GT6 than it was with GT5. 10 people start a 20 minute race and by the end there are about 5 drivers - the missing 5 are frantically trying to get back in - obviously the winnings for the 5 finishers should be based on the fact that 10 people started the race. Where is abuse possible in that? - the people who were disconnected aren't given credits by the game, only those who finished.

I think getting the game to ban people from online because they quit some races voluntarily is ridiculous. If people quit and you don't like them you can block them. But maybe they are quitting because they have a life outside GT6 which needs to be attended to before the race finishes.

I don't want to win a lot of credits with online races, but for now you don't win nothing at all !!

I'm agree with Sick Cylinder about this.


I don't agree that you win a fast lap race, when race start there'r 5 users connected, when finished you're alone so you don't win nothing.
I don't agree that you win a race, when race start there're 10 users, when end only 3 so that you win the same credits as the race start only with 3 insteat than 10.
I don't agree that we cannot race online alone (or also offline, it's the same) agaist the IA, for example for race with a specific car (all racers with 500 or jay leno or another few popular car) and you dont' win ANY credits at all.

This dont' mean that i want win millions or credits but just the right depending to number of laps, opponents IA, pp of the cars and more..... i'm totally ok also if lower compared with online racer.

But when i play a game with 1200 cars, a lot of car elaborations and many way to spend credits, i MUST gain some credits ever race - even that i play, no worries if it's a offline, online , career, seasonal, stand alone or with friends. Like happens on TDU for example.
