HALL OF FAME: Exceptional Players - HALL OF SHAME: Disconnectors, Glitchers & Jumpers

HALL OF FAME

Performs exceptionally well in general while possessing a good sportsmanship attitude. The players on this list can include: Humans, White Phantoms, Red/Blue Phantoms. Basically anyone.

Some examples of a player that may belong in the Hall of Fame is:

- Someone who sacrifices his own life or comes close to sacrificing his own life to save yours (ie. Suicide charging hoards of enemies, fighting a red phantom, etc) *Note: Jumping a red phantom while he is spawning will not count*

- You as the person adding the player can also have discretion on what is exceptional sportsmanship or helpfulness. Obviously, we don't want to include every single person we come in contact with. Also, when you add a name please include your encounter story.

HALL OF SHAME

This Hall of Shame is for players who Disconnect, Glitch & Jump people.

Please be sure to include whether this the id is for PS3 or XBOX.

Feel free to include the stories with the ids you list.

I will be editing this first post with any responses.


DISCONNECTORS
*Anyone who purposely disconnects to avoid a fight or lose a fight yet stays connected so that you can keep cycling with their worlds. This won't include: Dropped Connections (when this happens people usually immediately apologize when they come back on) and Hiders (Red Phantoms that hide for 30 minutes).*

GLITCHERS
*Here are some ways you can spot a glitcher:
- Frivolous use of at least two Divine Blessings in PvP duels (you can't farm for divine blessings so no one should have many. However, you may see someone use one on occasion who isn't a glitcher).
- Damage received from certain equipment, damage sustained from weapons is unusually high or low, or even after a large amount of damage has been dealt, the health bar looks full - i.e; Great Combustion depletes a third of the health bar even in very high fire resistant armour, high damage output weapons deal small amounts even after a direct hit, several hundred points of damage have been dealt and the enemy's health bar hasn't moved.*

Just out of curiosity, but what is the point of this exactly? Most of the users you list probably don't even use this site, and even if they did, I doubt they'd much care if people knew they did this. OH NO, THE SHAME, PEOPLE MIGHT THINK I'M A BADDY. You also don't really pick worlds to invade, so this list doesn't exactly prevent other players from invading their world either, and won't prevent anybody who is avid on disconnecting from, *gasp* disconnecting.

I mean, really. For some, the game is hostile enough as is, they don't really need the added potential of a level 700 dude invading their world and making it impossible to continue. I have, also, in the past disconnected. Not because I actually intended to avoid a battle, but because I had other obligations. I once quit out because I was getting ready to quit the game and go out to a class study session, and right as I saved, my world was invaded. I surely wasn't going to be late to that thing just because some dude happened to invade my world at that point. I didn't owe him anything, and I sure wasn't going to waste the next five to indefinite minutes fighting him, only to be late to something infinitely more important.

Are you capable of providing proof of anything you claim here?

Having read through the replies, some good points have been made, and good questions asked. The first thought I had was; why not make this a "Hall of Fame / Wall of Shame" thread, so there isn't an emphasis on the negative aspects. The second was; what is that would qualify a player for being listed under either category?

I know there are plenty of players who disconnect as soon as I enter their world, but that could be because they quit the game when they noticed an invasion attempt was taking place (homeward bone / white soapstone greyed out), or as soon as they saw an invader had just entered. Either of these I consider excusable, personally. If they've had experiences with grievers in the past (like Raijin has mentioned in some recent posts), then I can't blame for not wanting to hang around for another invader of the sort.

An invader who disconnects (or even host) after a fight has been initiated and one or the other is about to die, then I would think that would be worthy of a "Wall of Shame" sticker slapped on them. Red sign jumping is one that I would personally offer the same to, but we can get to that.

PerkoApple, I'll PM you tomorrow afternoon (about five hours earlier than the time of this post for me), and have a little brainstorm about the categories, conditions, etc. I would do it right now, but got uni work sprung on me, but I promise I will get to it before this time tomorrow.

Oh, and any discussion or ideas in this thread can be merged into the thread initially suggesting this idea. =)

jbh - Thanks, It's all added.

Btw, does anyone know if it matters if the letters are capitalized? Does PS3 or XBOX distinguish? Should I copy the name exactly as I see it?

So I'm guessing you can't have an account named:

JBH

and then another account called:

jbh

Righto?

I 100% agree with Faust.
This isn't like some fighting game or building some multiplayer lobby, It's completely random who's game you invade so those being invaded don't owe you jack.
As Faust said players may have objectives they'd like to complete or personal obligations to attend to.
DarkSouls is not an MMO & players have the right to play as they wish you don't like it then too bad deal with it.
Stop crying move on & find someone elses game you can invade.
This makes no sense when it's random & you have a chance of avoiding those that disconnect anyway.
I think you got this in reverse, the 1s listed won't be branded as shamed it's those that's providing the names are the shameful ones.

quote "jbh"

2 more.

I'm only naming people that DC mid fight, I honestly have no problem if they just don't want to PvP and disconnect as soon as I invade.

PSNs: magidmadani & LYSOSOME1

You understand PSN isn't the most stable network right?
The past week alone a few friends couldn't even signin.
Mid game DeadSpace2 MP, PSN signed me out.



The names on this list, are they IDs of players that you've encountered multiple times or is it your first encounter.
And if you've encountered that person multiple times, why do you stay if you know they disconnect.
If it's a multiple encounters then maybe joining an official DarkSouls forums would help better serve this purpose.


It even has an ASK THE DEVELOPER section.
Maybe they can do something about stopping disconnections if it's such an issue.
