This is the second time ive had to post for this exact same reason. i was in a guild group today, queuing team arenas and winning. the entirety of anet was having connectivity issues on account of anet servers…. multiples dcs every game from everyone. seriously, no one was safe from the anet lag. my last dc i could not even enter back into the client. when i finally logged back on, i had received 1day and 4 hours of dishonor. does anyone see a problem here? why am i being punished for anets inability….twice?! guh.
You’re not the only one suffering from the unstable server they got there…
Earlier today I left a game because I had to go, which was my fault alright. But then I joined two solo queue matches about a hour ago, one dc’ed me near the end of the game, another dc’ed me around the start of the game.
Then when I finally logged back on again, I got a 2 days 19 hours long debuff, just great…
I submitted a ticket, hopefully they will remove it or at least shorten it to 1/3 of the duration (as I was partly at fault).
The first time I dc’ed, it took about 10 mins before I’m able to log in again. And after checking the reddit posts as well as from my guild members (some of them didn’t even experience dc), it seems the game was good again.
I didn’t think it would go back to being unstable so soon again…
Yup! Happened to me tonight as well. First time I’ve gotten this “debuff”. Submitted a ticket, but not sure it’ll do anything. Huge disappointment tonight.
The dc’s don’t account entirely for the dishonour buff, two dcs mid match won’t trigger it, so they would have had to have left games before, but still I don’t like seeing people getting locked out when they didn’t fully deserve it.
It takes 3 times afking (afk logout = instant 1 stack of dishonorable) or not being present at the end of the game within 72 hours to get dishonorable.

Frankly, suck it up and deal with the 1 day dishonor. You ruin the match for 9 other people even when you dc.
I hate when people say this. It does not fix the issue of the disconnects. I had it happen to me a few weeks ago. I was dcing on and off…only from Gw2. Then bam 1.5 days of dishonor after 1 year of never leaving a match? That is absurd.
The problem is how they are attempting to fix the issue. Dishonor is good in theory. The less people that rage quit matches the better. Understandably disconnects will happen which is why they don’t just ban you for your first offense.
I experienced the lag last night as well. As soon as I realized it was making the game unplayable (and it wasn’t on my end) then I logged out to go play something else.
The problem is that AFK’ers will always happen. It’s nothing to just AFK for a match (you have to AFK for like 5 minutes before you get DC’d) so from my understanding, if you move at all you won’t get the AFK disconnect. Also I’ve seen lots of people just find a wall and auto run into it the entire match to avoid the penalty.
I’m all for punishing people for rage quitting and ruining a game for 9 other people. I’m ok with the occasional DC costing you dishonor as well otherwise people would abuse this.
The solution is supremely easy and I don’t know why Anet won’t implement it. A Ready button at the start of a match before it pulls everyone into the tourny. Anything less than 10 readies and it finds a new player. Use this while maintaining the current dishonor system and most of the problems will be fixed. Then it’s just figuring out how to solve the AFK player auto-running into a wall issue.

Hallarious. All I do is PvP. I don’t WvW, I hardly ever go out of the Mists besides to LA occasionally. Why would I intentionally ruin the only part of the game I enjoy? Gotta put your thinking cap on before you post next time.
The dishonor system is good. The server trouble is the enemy here.
We’ve already got enough people afk-ing/4v5s, we don’t need to lighten up the dishonor system. Sure, we could use a ready button on top of the dishonor system, and hopefully Anet makes exceptions for the people in this thread that reached 3 dishonor stacks because of server problems.

Actually I was online and in pvp. My connection was unstable so I was in hotjoin instead of tourneys. When I DCed I didn’t pvp until the game became stable again. Even if I was in tpvp, the DC is ONE dishonor stack. You need THREE to get the debuff and based upon the duration you gave us, one or two of those stacks didn’t happen yesterday.
If all those stacks were DCs your connection is still not stable enough to be playing tpvp. In the eyes of everyone else, DC, quitting, bathroom, all are the same.
BUMP. i would like to see a system of dishonor similar to what was implemented in gw1. even when unjustly given dishonor, it didnt last a day and a half. but at the same time, it deterred leavers.

Anet doesn’t care, they are just trying to remove spvp/tpvp from gw2. Slowly but surely x.x
