Dont make me instantly DC at Network connection issues
First of all i understand the need for penalties and wont complain about me getting them, even tho for me the lost items/addons, ranks and BP are penalty enough.
I have fairly good Internet speedwise but i have small outages of only up to 2 seconds nearly every hour, sometimes more often, sometimes less. Since the DC penalty i have gone up to an hour of pen time without quitting on purpose once.
It happens the same way every time: I play the game totally normal, then i get a loading screen and am back on the start page with some kind of Error Message. I can instantly go back into the Lobby without any issues.
My suggestion is to implement a System where the game tries a few times to reconnect you so you just stand still for a few seconds instead of instantly leaving the lobby since it is way less frustrating to everyone if the player stands still for a short amount of time, taking one hook in the worst case instead of completely leaving the game.
