I’d like to see dashboard punishment come to fruition. Let’s punish these kids that dashboard out of rage after giving up a homer by banning them for short periods of time when an unauthorized disconnect happens. It’ll stop the practice pretty fast. And to preemptively retort to those who say that not all disconnects are dashboards the answer I have is then they are offline anyways so the 20 minute ban won’t affect them. It’s the dashboarders who will be made to suffer the consequences of this. Other games have done it so why not this game.

Will never happen unless they switch to dedicated servers. To many server issues to distinguish whether or not a person actually dashboard or there was a server error.

Or better yet, let the play count.

What are you talking about? If we had dedicated servers there would be no dashboard disconnects. And yes I’m well aware that it’s likely not going to happen but other games have implemented cooldown periods like what I just described to deter dashboarding. In fact COD did exactly this prior to their game moving to Dedicated Servers several years back. And yes the devs have tools that can be implemented to detect illegal disconnects. And before you say something like a power outage happening or a random internet outage the cooldown period would only affect those who are habitual offenders. Meaning they would have to do it several time within a given period of time for this punishment to take effect. Someone who has the unfortunate power outage or internet outage would not qualify for a cooldown unless they too have been dashboarding throughout a given period of time. And yes there are tools that can track this with relative ease. It wouldn’t take much to code in the penalty. Maybe next time do some research before you write stuff that you have no clue what your talking about. Btw, when someone dashboards disconnects the play cannot count because it’s not a dedicated server. The reason for this is that the P2P connection has been interrupted. This is why people do it. It’s as if the previous play never happened.

Since I can't figure out how to isolate part of a quote; I'll refer to your last three sentences and reiterate my statement.

Until SDS switches to dedicated servers you'll have people dashboarding because they know the play WON'T count.

If people realize that the play will still count if will eliminate some of the dashboarding.

People may still dashboard because they just want to dashboard.

Punishing someone for something that has NO BEARING other than keeping people from obtaining stats won't happen.

Now, if dashboarding stopped the game from completing, thus resulting in a situation like it wasn't played, then there could be justification for punishing someone.

But losing a stat is miniscule at best and has no other bearing other than the player needs to accomplish it again.

Besides, if you hit 450 Homeruns with a player compared to 500; you the hell cares.
