Guild Wars 2

Come on Anet a lot of people have complained about people logging off when in downed state or about to die. This is completely ruining WvW and needs a fix asap!

Like most games you should make it that is a person disconnects whilst in PvP or WvW no matter what the reason, that person gets a 1 hour ban from PvP and WvW.
If the person disconnects several times within a given time span, then that person should be banned from PVP/WvW for 24 hours.
And if they continue doing it, make it a weeks ban!

These people are ruining the game and denying people their kill and loot is annoying, shameful and completely unsportsman-like!

What if there are people that are accidentally being disconnected during WvW? What would be a better suggestion is the game detects the reason of the game being closed (disconnecting or force quit by alt + f4 or any other way). If it was a force quit then give the last player that hit that character (or who ever did the most damage) a kill, and the player that force quit will not be spawned outside of the WvW battleground.

As Kantharr said, just have the person get auto-killed when disconnected or logging out, with loot dropped for whoever it would have dropped for. Or (if possible) when the person logs out, their character remains if they are considered “in combat” so the person fighting them can finish them off. Maybe for 5-10 seconds or so?

Otherwise, they could set up something similar to dishonorable from GW1 to solve it, although I truly believe leaving the characters in place when they log-out would be a much less complicated fix to implement.

their are other games that when you DC they still leave your character in game for about 10 seconds just to solve problems like this

They could simply make Honor Badges pop in the inventory when the enemy is defeated, and count as a defeat if they logout or disconnect while you are attacking them.

Yeah, it’s pretty sad to see someone that desperate to not take a death XD. I say a good solution would be to auto-kill the downed person and give the loot bags to the attackers.

Stop the QQ noobs and l2p maby get more dps and people wont do this .

I can alt-f4 in like a quarter of a second. How much dps would you need to bring to kill someone that fast?

Let’s do the math
Let’s say a wvw player has an average of 20k hp, then you’d have to do 20k damage in 1/4 second, that would make 20×4 = 80k dps… approximately.

You’re welcome.

I think the simplest solution is what most MMOs do where your toon is still there for 10-15 seconds after disconnect. While you can try to implement a system for detecting alt-f4 that will just cause the kittens to resort back to standby buttons and pulling ether cables. I know how sad that sounds but if someone is already going to alt-f4 not to die I don’t think it’s hard to imagine that as the next step.

Calm down.

They have to wait to get back into the game and you can laugh, knowing you’ve won and that they’re too cowardly to face a quick death and respawn. You’ll earn more silver fighting and winning than they will save in repairs by quicklogging.

You know that you’ve won on the inside. They know they’ve lost. I don’t know about you, but that’s enough for me.

Agreed. And if people are that desperate to save repair costs then what’s broken is not Alt-F4. WvW costs more money to play then it gives in return, and that’s not exactly encouraging people to play. There is a lot that needs to be fixed when a player would prefer to quick log than to accept a death.

Could have it so their character is kept in the work for at least a minute after they log out in a pvp zone

As a player with an unstable net connection: If I ever get into PvP or WvWvW, I would prefer that if i did disconnect by any means and were in a downed state that I wouldn’t just vanish. the 15 second persistence would be nice and I would understand coming back into the game to find my character had died [if i were downed].

If I were not downed, however, I would very much like to be removed from combat/persistence.
