C'jais Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Today I visited a Jolt server, where the following act took place: ........................................................ Phew, didn't know it was such a secret.... ........................................................ I asked him why he did this, and was told "cause I can". Another guy on the server told me the real reason - explained above. Anyone else been subject to this? Anyone doing this on purpose? And in that case, why?

Jah Warrior Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Originally posted by cjais Today I visited a Jolt server, where the following act took place: A player, once he had lost, disconnected and reconnected immediately afterwards - Deleting his "bad score" and pushing the guy who was supposed to be fighting the victor straight back at the bottom of the queue. As another sideeffect, the reconnector was placed *above* the guy who was pushed back. This was done several times, and I began to wonder.... I asked him why he did this, and was told "cause I can". Another guy on the server told me the real reason - explained above. Anyone else been subject to this? Anyone doing this on purpose? And in that case, why? jais man, you are mad if you make these things common knowledge everyone will do it mate. But yeah thats cheap man. what a chief!!!

Admiral Derski Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I thought that was a Duel bug that was in 1.02 that was supposedly fixed in the newer patches, maybe he is doing it slightly different then that to counter the patch?????

Homosexual Ewok Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 That crap has been around on Full Force duel servers forever, it's sad to see now you NF guys have to deal with it. There is really no way to prevent it, it all comes down to how well they can time it. Some people can "drop" you into spec mode and stay in the match as a winner, while most just go into spec mode with you as you are dropped.

zerowingzero Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Do everone a favor and edit your post, same reason the backstab got spread around faster, people talked about it too much. This is what patches should be fixing! sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Wait a minute! I've seen this done & the only thing I thought happened was you got out of order, as if you got kicked to the back of the line along with him, but he cuts in front of you. Does this mess up your score or scew up stats? If so, I was never aware of it. And also if this does something wrong, does it also happen if you disconnect/reconnect when you WIN the game? I ask this because a lot of us will disconnect/reconnect in order to keep the current map if everyone wants to stay on that map. PM the answer if you don't want to post it here.

Homosexual Ewok Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 It can be done on any duel server, it is actually very simple. Hell, even a person in spec mode can screw up the order of waiting players if he does it at the proper time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
