Guild Wars 2

If we DC during those 30 seconds…can we come back as a different character?

Just want to add another question:

If i get a DC in the end game 495-100 and i was in the winning team, do 30 sec grace period will give me a win or still i will lose because i didn’t log in fast enough?

another question:
does it count us as logged back in when we choosed our character at the character selection screen and is logging into the heart of the mist?

Yes

Does this count as a loss though?

No, not if you’re back in time.

Welcome back build wars 2…missed u so much

It is needed – sometimes matchmaking doesn’t work and you get 3 thieves…or 3 pew pew Rangers….now, if you accidentally on purpose dc, you can switch and not get a penalty.

What? We have to ’’fake’’ a DC to swap characters? Like how do you do that? Do you just close the gw2 client or your entiere iternet?

no, I was just being cheeky – I take it to mean that we have 30 seconds to switch toons in the beginning

Yes

Wait a minute there sparky, so if some one pulls the plug on themselves to purposely dc for 30s, they have the option to switch characters when they log back in?

Counter-Comping is one of the worst things PvP has ever had to deal with. “Oh they’re weak to Engi, so I’ll just swap to my Engi…” I’d much rather suffer disconnects that make me lose points on the LB than allow anyone to counter-comp penalty-free.

I’ll just spell it out.

We are no longer locking you into character.

What about Profession based MMR?

It will probably remain disabled (but still being tracked) until we add character locking back.

Okay, character lock is planned to make a return at some point then?

so i think i understand but someone please confirm i am not crazy.

if i dont like my class composition I can relog and if it doesnt take me more than 30 seconds there is no penalty?

and that just changed yesterday right?

It would have been nice to know profession based MMR was off. I suck at mesmer and was playing it in ranked and wondering why I had such a hard time winning.

finally…sux being mesmer when you see 2 thieves on the other team xD

With there being a grace period now, what’s keeping us from queueing from open world?
