Guild Wars 2

I know a lot of people got the “Dishounorable” debuff due to the servers crashing over the past days. So I contacted Anet on both a Support Ticket and Forums, this is what they said on both…

Support Ticket:

“Please understand that connection issues can occur anywhere along the network path between your computer and our servers. This is the nature of the Internet in general, where any point in the path can suffer congestion that causes lag or intermittent loss of connectivity.I sympathize with your frustration about these issues but we have reviewed recent information about the game and we are not able to identify any issues with our service. Support is not able to address losses resulting from issues beyond our control.”

Forums:

“Yes, so sorry. While we regret this situation, we’re sorry that we cannot remove the debuff. It’s unfortunate, but that is the case at the present time.”
-Gaile Grey

The Support Ticket claimed that there were no server issues over the past week, and Gale Grey said that they (Anet) could not remove any debuffs. Today the Dishounorable Debuff was removed before the time limit.

I’d like to hear some comments!

It is in the FAQ – They cannot remove the debuff. Just wait it out. Remember the debuff is from 3 CONSEQUETIVE matches where one leaves early. That has to be happen before the debuff occurs.

They are right about the connectivity – they were being bombarded by the outside. They have no control over that.

Was updated this morning.

We have disabled dishonor for the time being. Upon logging in, your dishonor will be cleared, and no new dishonor stacks will be applied.

Once we are sure any players who received false dishonor have logged in or waited 3 days, we will re-enable the feature.

That’s good, because there ARE problems with the service. I was in CS this morning doing Mel and got DC’d. I couldn’t log in to the game or even the website for maybe 3-4 minutes. When I got back to CS, every other player had said that it happened to them as well. Many complaints ensued. This was obviously a problem at ANet servers (not saying it’s their fault, if they were attacked, so be it), so it makes sense that if they’re being DoS’d, they should turn that dishonor thing off until they correct the situation.

I’m guessing you didn’t care to read my entire article, cause I clearly stated at the bottom it was removed today…. so I’m not sure what your talking about.

From what I gather based on things they’ve said/done, the debuff can’t be removed from individual characters but they can disable it for everyone at the server level.

This. Gaile will have replied to an individual’s query about dishonor stacks, and from a CS point of view, they are unable to remove these stacks on an individual basis.

Obviously, the large number of people affected by the recent DDOS attacks prompted ANet to look at a server-side solution to resolve this for everyone.
