I agree that innocents people will get his with infractions, but the catch is, we already are! I've been in Cure Spcae with 3 people left on multiple occasions and was going to be penalized for leaving. My system lifts the penalty for that 5 minutes after the 2nd player leaves. So, part of this discussion is to work out a…

I feel if you get voted out, you should earn an infraction or two.
-
XD cmdrskyfaller, you must have been working at typing up your post when I posted my post right above your's regarding how to handle the voting pop-up. Also, thanks for the workaround!
-
Any sort of AFK pop-up should pause the instance. This will ensure that voting will not cause the rest of the team to be pummeled by the borg or whoever while they vote and possibly lose the optional that way. As well, as stop auto-firing beams. >.> I just thought of a cruiser, parked in front of a Nanite Gen, blasting on…

I've racked up a few injuries before and qued up before I realized how many I'd accumulated in the previous mission. I'm far better now at looking above my chat window when I blow up or drop to know if I need to heal before respawning. But you are right that it is not hard to go get to a shipyard or sickbay to heal. And…

Please forgive the editing, I only wanted to highlight the most important bits. After further consideration of the odds regarding offending another player and randomly running into them in an STF of FM mission while they are with their friends. Such an occurrence seems as likely as needing to reboot your computer after a…

I was thinking about that last night after getting offline. Such a system would be beneficial for people in the que and to people trying to que since they'll not need to respawn as often. I thought about the follwing numbers that would prevent a player from entering an STF or Fleet mark mission: 3 or more Minor Injuries 2…

I'm not suggesting that a Suspension ban suspend use of a character of the Expulsion ban suspend access to one's account. What I am suggesting is no different than the current Leaver's Penalty: inability to access a certain part of the PVE que. I want to be very clear: ~While under a suspension, the ONLY part of gameplay…

(see combined respose) That's why I posted the proposal, to discuss the idea, both, as a whole and the componants. With the shortest amount of time to rack up 10 infractions, by leaving first 5 times, 10 hours. Perhaps 2.5 weeks IS too long. Does 4 days (60 hours) seem like a better length to have infractions disappear?…
-
Account ban right away is far harsher than what I propose. Though, an account suspension might be in order at the 3rd and 4th suspensions. "'KICK' voting", bad idea. Allowing users to initiate a vote to kick a player will be abused. People who first start off playing the STF's will get kicked becuase they don't have any or…
-
The images are up of how the system would play out up to the first expulsion. I followed up the links by adding some extrapolated numbers showing the shorted length of time needed to earn a character deletion.
-
The timers attached to infractions, suspensions, and expulsions would be easy. Many simple browser cookies have simple coding that invalidate them after a certain length of time. Admittedly the after-post solution to AFK players, would have issues. How would you handle the AFK players and leachers in an unbiased way?

Askray, of the many times I've been booted off the server, there has been only one time when it was related to my internet connection. That was when, on a Tuesday afternoon around 1:30PM EST, my modem, and the modems of 12 other people around the world with different ISPs, reset themselves at the exact same time. I have…
-
The program I was proposing would need to send a signal to a different server (such as the perfectworld.com server) with in the first second or two of the game disconnecting from the server. A response from the secondary server would tell the program that it was Cryptic's servers. A lack of response from the secondary…
-
Thank you, so shall I. This is not totalitarian. There are time-based triggers put in place to remove infractions, suspensions, and expulsions from a person's characters and accounts. There are also time-based triggers, that when met, will allow people to leave infraction-free when there are 3 or 4 players left in a match.…
-
Fair point on that issue. I'm not sure what should be done about that issue, especially for a full system reboot (since I know some systems can take up to 5 minutes from shut down tthrough the boot up to usable).
-
Loved reading all your comments, criticisms, and work arounds; I?ll certaily keep much of what I read in mind while building my series. The scenery discussion actually gave me an idea to modify one of my maps in a way that will make better sense with the story. :D Thanks!
-
It seems to be forgotten that returning to the game imediately after a server disconnect will take you BACK into the match you were disconnected from. That has always happened to me when I've gotten kicked off the Cryptic servers. Returning to a match will negate the infraction.
-
Yes, to earn a character deletion, one must accumulate at total of 250 infractions within the given time frames. I made sure to NOT make the time frames overly long, but to still make them slightly sting. I'm not evil by proposing that the infractions are permanent. They will drop off. If you earn 10 infractions, that 10th…
-
I had not thought about disconnects while thinking of a system to deal with those that intentionally leave. I have added provisions to deal with that. I'll also be adding provisions to deal with AFK.

Rather tha bury my porposed amendments to the penalty sytem in a thread, I have started a new one detailing how the system could be improved at http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=5742171#post5742171

I agree, there needs to be a penalty if there is a team of 5 people. I also agree, that the first person to leave should be the one to get penalized. I left Infected Space a few minutes ago and was willing to take the penalty for it had I been the first to leave. I asked over Team Channel, "Does anyone NOT know the 10%…

This happened after, it was a Friday evening.

The reason to complete it is for a sense of completeness. While I agree there should be missions that take longer than 10 seconds to complete, I question the logic behind requiring 500 bottles of two very expensive drinks. At an average price of 125,000ec (as of early Sept '12) for a bottle of Romulan Ale, assuming members…

Reading this thread has been a great help. I've been working on a a storyline to a multi-mission story over the past two weeks. All of your comments have given me ideas that I hadn't thought of before. While I'd always been planning on grand battles (big and small), lots of puzzles (both mathematical and mechanical), I…
