From yesterday game session I can say that all 3 are -Yoink-.
I’m more excited about number 3. But 2 is good also.
1? I fee like if you lose you should lose the boost.
But I guess this means more people will just dashboard/ unplug the router . It’s cool, quitters will be quitters regardless of the Banhammer. It won’t stop quitting. But this will help people who are constantly getting disconnected.
Edit, idk if it’s true though.
i could test this out cuz i have dc streaks every now and then…will keep u posted

thanks.
I got disconnected 2 nights ago, played last night with no issue. just curious because I never quit games.
Here’s the dude’s explanation from reddit:
> Bendover1121I got disconnected for lag when infection first came out 3 times in a row. Back before the update that would be a ban for sure, no questions asked. Yet I haven’t been banned a single time since the update dropped even though my disconnects have been frequent due to the packed infection lobby. Id say its a sign that they have either drastically raised the amount of disconnected games before a ban or have removed bans from players who are being disconnected and not quitting.
Before the new drop came out, I had the power go out three times in one day, but I was never banned. Back when MOR drop came and all the lagging and being kick out of games was happening, I stopped using REQ cards for fear of losing them. After getting this information, it looks like I can use them again. Thanks for the info!!

I mean, none of this is proven nor has an official source, so I’m wondering about other people’s experiences…
That first one sounds like complete bogus. I’d have to check for myself. The point of a mission victory is to try harder to win. Its more of a gamble card. Are they gonna return Gambit: Assist medals if you can only get 2 assists in a game?
So now we can all just unplug our internet cords to avoid bans and get back to quit trolling
I’m calling bs.
I was playing yesterday, got disconected from an infection match and instantly banned for 20 minutes, even though it’s been weeks since I got any disconnections
Well I know dashboarding still counts towards bans. I’m sure disconnecting does as well, they might have just loosened up how strict it was from before.

Ha ha ha, I just got banned by disconnects
Weird, I got banned a few days ago due to disconnect… Glitch?

Is he a 343 employee. Bravo tweeted this: Some have noticed: Boosts will now indeed only be cashed in (used) if you satisfy the requirements of the Boost. In short, moar RP/XP.But made no mention of ban / disconnects.
trying to get dc right now, never happens when u really need it to so as to test things out…ill keep u all posted
False
It’s really inconsistent for me. Sometimes it’ll ban me and sometimes it’ll let me be.

I’m just wondering if it applies to victory boost only or i.e.will Gambit: assist be returned to you if not in top 50%?
I’m also wondering if you lose connection to dedicated server, will you alos lose you XP/RP boost? Description says: finish a game of X and claim your reward
I was disconnected from Infection the other day after using a Boost. I turned the console off after. Turned it on an hour or so later and my boost was sitting there waiting to be used again.
Only had the one disconnect since the update and I’ve never been banned for quitting.

I do wish they would provide complete information or answer questions that come up. I have noticed boosts no longer are deducted/count in jip matches.
