Street Fighter V August Update (RQ Penalty)

[Aranea Highwind]

AUGUST UPDATE

 

Rage Quitting Penalty

 

We are aware of the Rage Quitting issue, and this update will continue our efforts toward resolving it. We will make a second update to the existing Rage Quitting system with stricter guidelines for players who disconnect before the match is over. Players who are penalized will lose League Points and be locked out of online matching for a set time. The update will be implemented after the maintenance on 8/16.

 

Since the initial Rage Quitting system rollout, we have seen a rapid decrease in rage quitting players, and we believe that this new update will reduce that number even further. That being said, we’re still working on implementing a new, more robust system that will address the issue more completely by early next year.

We have another big update containing new features in the pipeline for next month, so we wanted to give you a sneak preview of all the cool things to come in September!

Nice.

[DaivRules]

Great to see Rage Quitting being addressed. Hopefully, in future releases, it can be addressed from the beginning and eventually completely eliminate Rage Quitting as a possibility for players.

Hopefully on a future update not only does the RQ losses their League Points, but their opponent earns their well deserved FM and League Points.

Double fight money? Wow! That is to say you win most of the time because the only way to get money is through winning a match, and you only get a measly 50 bucks for each win! So this only raises the bar to a 100 bucks and only for the weekend!? And let us not forget that it takes a million years to find a match. Fuck you Crapcom!!!

The new RQ system is no joke. Apparently if you RQ 3 times during a 24 hours period you will lose 1000 LP and a 1400 minutes ban.

Wow, that is crazy. I am already done and did not rage quit on my way for the online trophies in SFV, but DAMN they just slammed the hammer
But I really wish that double FM was for everything not just ranked, because that really is not crap for points. :3

[jujmint]

you or your opponent lagging out probably gonna count as a rage quit too again hey?

[Tomoko Kuroki]

There's still a way to avoid the LP loss. Played vs a guy named something like  "ipantedninja' and he didn't lose any LP the 2x he RQ on me. People will always find a way to cheat, hack, screw a game to get what they want, quite sad really.

[Remilia Scarlet]

This is a nice idea but what about people who happen to be disconnected because of poor Internet connection? They're punishing innocent players with a system that would not distinguish bad Internet from actual angry players.

[JOEYGGDXDREAPER7]

I do have to agree there Rin, it is sad, but that is a messed up truth about the update, but sadly most gamers do not care about people in such situations since they only seem to care about how affects them personally individually
