Look me up, xbox 360 team slayers on public assembly, i've played more team slayers than anyone else (not sure about ps3) and I'm absolutely fed up with the dashboarding.   It puzzles me as to how game designers didn't see this was going to happen.  Team slayers is designed so that if one person is a sore loser it ruins it for everyone.   You're loosing people left and right, you don't nearly have the same number of people playing it now as you did before, it's because everytime you start pounding another team one idiot will dashboard his xbox 360 and suddenly the game is ruined for everyone.   It's not fair to punish everyone for one person being a sore looser!

I've put so much time and effort into making myself #1 at this game and now I'm about to quit.  I'm fed up with it, it happens to me 2 out of every 4 games, someone will dashboard right before the end of the game and ruin it for everyone. Take halo3 for example, if someone dashboards on team slayers there, the game finds a new host and keeps going, why isn't resident evil like this?

You also should look into the lag issues.  Your game favors people with laggy connections.   If someone lags it takes two times the normal amount of shots to kill them, this makes no sense.  Now you have people who intentionally mess with their connection so that it's harder to kill them, you can ask the person I play with, fireclipse, he'll confirm it, he's #3 and he's seen the same thing happen.   Sometimes I have to hit someone who's injured 3 or 4 times with a magnum shot from stars wesker before it'll finish them off.  there should be an option when I host a game to not allow people in my game who have horrible internet connections.

I'm about to just give it up, why play a game where almost everytime I start winning someone quits the game and ruins it for everyone...It's so frustraiting, and it happens far too often.

This issue needs to be addressed immediately before nobody plays the game anymore.   Even today I tried playing RE5 and I got dashboarded 3 times out of my first 4 games, why anyone would make a game like this puzzles me, one person quits, and everyone looses, great idea :)

In the last 5 games, 4 people dashboarded and 1 person shut his xbox off.  Perhaps capcom can explain to me what the point of playing the game is if I have nothing to show for the past 1 hour thanks to sore loosers

I think -15 point penalty for any disconnector, regardless of reason, would lessen quitters.

Genuine disconnectors (rare) need to look at only joining 2 or 3 bar lobbies.  If they lose 15 points for a genuine disconnect then they can make it back in no time.   The penalty will only really hurt quitters, which is the aim. 

 

I'd suggest having a disconnect % displayed in lobby as well, which will evaporate gradually as the player ceases quitting or disconnecting but of course increase the more they do it.

No, this will drive away more players than anything and leave only glitcher/cheaters.  As the OP commented on people who lag have a major advantage in that it takes more to kill them than people with better connections.

This is already abused enough by lag switchers, the only fight against them is quitting and depriving them of a cheated win.  Remove that and people will be forced to play with cheats and no one wants to do that so will likely just find another game.

Lag switching in RE5 is pretty much god mode, you can barely hurt them if they time it right.  Laggy players that take more damage than you is bogus too, players should have a right to quit from such unbalanced games and not be punished for it.

I have seen people who lag just like F012saken described but these people are unable to take advantage of it when they face me. It's probably because I have lots of experience as STARS Wesker and Battlesuit Jill to handle it but I imagine an average player will have difficulties dealing with it. If I encounter laggers, I simply boot them afterwards.

I'll say that the likelihood of encountering quitters/disconnectors is much higher than encountering laggers/glitchers. Either way, both the quitting and lag issues need to be addressed. Even if you don't implement a -?? point penalty, the most important thing is the ability to see a person's disconnect stats.
