Guild Wars 2

So, I suppose the system cannot adjust to everyone, but sometimes it just happens that you disconnect, for too long because loading screens and restarting routers.

I find it terribly frustrating, that when you come back too slowly that you have no way to earn back that dishonor during the game, fighting your kitten off to maybe make that win regardless of your disconnect.

So yeah, I now feel punished for being unlucky with a disconnect, whilst (helping extensively with) winning my match after I came back. I didn’t switch profession or something, though I suppose that could be considered not entirely the right thing to encourage if it gets more lenient or something.

I don’t know if there could be some way to better the system in such a way that it’s not purely time bound but also takes in consideration how much you did in the match afterwards. But it would just not feel like a punch in the gut after you discover that you just won the match for just the 4 random people, without any plus side to yourself. Or maybe just don’t affect pips and streaks if you disconnect AND actually come back to help progress the match onto a win. (thus no penalty if the match ends up in a win.

I’ll take the dishonor time, but losing pips whilst actually (helping with) winning is just sad.

I understand that. Its difficult to solve, but at least if your team wins, there should not be punishment. It will still leave people unlucky if they disconnect and loose the match but at least some grieves are avoided.
