FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Tekken project executive game director Katsuhiro Harada has spoken about 
Tekken 8 s issue with pluggers - those who disconnect mid-match when theyre 
about to lose in order to avoid recording a loss - and stated that 
improvements are coming. 

As PC Gamer reports , Harada spoke about the issue during the recent Tekken 
Talk Live Post-Release Roadmap broadcast . Translated by producer Michael 
Murray, Harada admitted that theres no perfect solution to the issue, but 
were trying to improve it to at least display accurate disconnect ratios on 
players profiles. This should help flag up when players disconnect from 
matches regularly, and allow others to decline ranked matches against them if 
they wish. 

However, this is only the beginning, as there are plans to eventually start 
enforcing bans for regular rage quitters, too. Before that happens though, 
the team needs to be careful and take a few extra steps to ensure that it can 
go ahead with the action. 

Obviously, we want to ban these people from the game, he said. "But there's a 
lot of legal protections in various countries and different manners around 
the world. So we're just being very careful that we have all of that kind of 
paperwork and the methodology that's necessary to remove these people from 
the game servers before we go through with the bans. It will happen, please 
be patient. 

Harada then clarified that those with shaky internet wont have to worry about 
getting banned for their game getting disconnected due to a bad connection. 
This is [for] people who are constantly doing it, so if you just have that 
rare occasion, you don't have to worry about it, Murray translated. 

Right now, its not clear when players can expect these changes to roll out, 
but rest assured that the problem has been acknowledged and improvements are 
on the way.
