Title: Shade dumping
Post by: vHACKv on January 05, 2015, 04:39:37 PM

I am going to coin a new term, and call it shade dumping. Sunday night I was able to find at least 7 unresponsive players in the MA that were just sitting in towers for hours. These players have never been seen before or spoken to before. :headscratch: They do not appear to be new players as they do not respond to anything, and have squad names like 745431.

It appears that on Sunday nights some people take their shade accounts and dump them on a team to mess with ENY / side balancing.  :bhead This is a BS tactic and somehow needs to be stopped.

I think there should be an idle time allowance of 10 minutes, then you are host disconnected. People blabbing on 200 in the tower would not suffer, and the offenders could be caught by typing "/" into range every 9 minutes.  We noticed this last night and a couple of weeks ago, seems to mainly happen on Sunday night, when no one is looking.

WOW! Paranoid much?

Many people sit in the tower in the off chance their team wins the map while they are off doing something else. For those to effect ENY you would need a pretty large number of shades.

Isn't ENY a result of numbers inflight? :headscratch:

There is really nothing positive which will come from this.
