Reconnect after dc’d

[BrawnTx]

Game should let you reconnect if you login immediately after dc on mobile

This could easily be abused.

Kind of a shame too, because this could be a really great feature if everyone used it for its intended purpose, but we all know there's gonna be some people who use it to DC at night and rejoin to avoid getting killed.

Yep. Exactly the reason.

Who is that right mind is going to attack sometime who left at night? Nobody.

Who is going to reconnect when night is over? The person who "dc'd"

How do you know they left though? If there's a reconnect option, then the game shouldn't have shown them as having left, since the game doesn't know that they have left for good.

This could be a nice countermeasure. Maybe a 10-second timer before you're gone for good would be fine. After then you'll only be announced as someone who left the game

10 seconds is too short. 2 minutes is better. Essentially, if your internet cuts out, you're still in the game (as an AFK player) for 2 minutes, which is hopefully enough time to reset your internet. Then you will be back in. If not, it will officially consider you as having left.

We have plans to work on a reconnect system next year. Two big caveats however. 1 it has to be implemented in a way to prevent abuse. 2 it is a very large technical task to undertake so there’s no guarantee. I’m going to try my best though.

Well, I am aware that there is already a reconnect feature in the pc version of the game. One time my internet cut out for one minute, and when it returned, my game skipped to the current moment. At no point in the game was I shown as having left, the other players just said I never spoke, as if I was AFK.

That's not a reconnect feature, that is just a symptom of how the underling TCP connection works with flash. Sometimes it will maintain a connection even with an internet outage of over 1 minute, sometimes it won't. It still doesn't snap back in a nice way and there's lots of weird bugs when that happens.
