Guild Wars 2

So I just finished a match in which I got disconnected, reconnected, played on with my team to a win, and then get slapped with a 1 pip loss for “Desertion”. This seriously needs addressing. If I’m going to get punished for a disconnect that isn’t even my fault, what’s the point of me returning and helping my team to a win? They lose nothing if a teammate “deserts”, so it’s not like they’d be hindered if I never bothered to show back up.

I thought ANet’s system was supposed to be able to detect the difference between disconnects and willful desertions (they held off on updating the system for so long at the start of the year because they were still “tweaking it”), so this event today has really left a sour taste in my mouth.

You just need to learn to play without an internet connection, you have to get good and carry. No excuses.

they really should change it such that if a disconnected player comes back to help their team win, the disconnected player should get a pip for winning, and extra pip from win streaks as well.

better late than never right ?

I think that if you come back and your team wins, you shouldnt lose or win pip. Because they could have win match even without you. So if you dc more than 2 mins and come back and win, you should not lose pip or winstreak. But you would not get pip if dc lasts longer than 2 mins.
