Avoid getting drop-tricked?

Post by _DB_ »

I'm annoyed! Some people drop tricked me.
I've no idea how it can be that someone drops and you're given a loss, wtf?

Suppose you're at dropping screen. What should you do? Must you click drop as soon as possible or wait until it drops itself? Will it change the outcome of getting drop tricked?

Report them on the AoE Official forums.

Soon, we'll have a cheat buster thread so then you come report there

in the mean time, pest the dropper

you might still get him in QS though unfortunately

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

iirc, if someone drops, just wait for the timer run out and you will be given the win. not 100% sure though.

If oos, nothing you can do, cant even printscreen :(

I've read somewhere that the sooner you drop, more chance you have to get the victory.

It makes sense because: the ESO not intermediates the match, he only receives a file with game stats (I say this because after a match appears in the upper left corner "Successfully uploaded stats file").

And when one of the players fall appears 'The victory is yours' on both screens of the players, then who first leave the game (send the file) will get the victory in ELO.

Poor english.

I think this is right. Iv had it happen before that someone drops in a team game. There file is sent in first. In his file, the team with the dropper won. My team, which didn''t have a dropper, was assigned a loss. When I got out of the game, I had a lower pr then when I started. However, a few minutes later, my pr had sky rocketed because the five players who did drop games file had over ruled the player who did drop and I got back my original pr as well the pr for winning.

You could also just play unrated games on ESOC maps. Best drophacking prevention ever.
