    Hide Matchmaking Gamertags

    Hide matchmaking gamertags in lobbys until the game starts. I've only been able to get 1 game in the last 3 hours due to people quitting out almost immediately.

    Yeah I imagine most people would be pretty intimidated when coming up against you online AJ!

    I personally wouldn't mind playing against the best of the best, I wouldn't win but if im gonna get beat then who better to beat me!

    I guess there are too many people playing mp purely for their win/loss record rather than enjoying it, which makes me sad

    They would just dashboard once they saw your name in-game. There's no solution for *****es.

    electric shocks through the pad for anyone quitting MP games at any stage? that would solve the problem quite quickly

    If people dashboard, I would still get to play and rank up. Right now I'm lucky if I get into 1 match a night.


    The penalty for quitting should be automatic loss of 1 rank.

    Have you tried adjusting the search option to prefer skill? Not sure how well that works but it's something to try.

    i think the multiplayer system needs a complete overhaul, lots of little changes would improve it in a big way;

    - hiding gtags before start
    - significant punishment for quitting
    - no losing out on xp if someone quits
    - half or third xp for 2nd place, no xp for 3rd & 4th (maybe 2nd shouldnt count as a loss [or win] either?)
    - extra time to finish race (or earn more points) should be relative to each track.
    eg. it should be possible to dnf people on beach head and gigatrack should give much more than 15secs
    - hc trials (and trials imo) should be far more "fault-focused"
    - and probably more i cant think of right now

    I agree that there should be a penalty, but this seems harsh.

    yeah dropping from 49 to 48 because of an electrical storm would really sting!
