Guild Wars 2

so im number 7 on the leader boreds we win everygame this morning and then 1 game we are winning 480 – 150 and the game crashes then i end up rank 25??? (we won that game btw)

dc when your winning should not drop you in MMR in no world does that make any sense.

your story, it’s cool bro

A d/c anytime is always bad luck. The score before your d/c does point a bit to a possible match imbalance (your d/c was counted as a loss vs a much lower ranked team) which may have been the cause of you losing so many ranks.

That stinks man, nobody deserves that. But if you were #7 you can hopefully climb back up there relatively quickly.

Good hunting sir.

Dream work makes the team work…or something something something about self worth

Can I have your autograph?

You can’t police a DC, they should leave it the way it is. How would they tell the difference between a real DC and someone pulling an Ethernet cable?

im just saying this should be looked at. btw can we get an answer on whos idea it was to make a system like this?

i get a win chest so the game knows i won.

Don’t worry, 50 is the limit where you can buy a Custom Arena Kit.

This is pretty obvious people ragequitting.

I hate ragequiters, so I support anything they do to try and rid them.

I think the problem here in this thread is SAtaar has too many haters…Because if this happened to anyone else I am sure people would be supporting the thread. This is an obvious issue that should be looked at indeed.

The best way for their “system” to tell the difference between a rage quit and a random d/c and is to have reconnect feature. If the player does not want to reconnect then he permanently leaves the game. Random d/c just reconnect.

I hate to sound like a jerk, but I think the only “EPIC fail system” here is your PC . Its not Anets fault you crashed. Its yours.

You sound like a princess.

Why don’t you try some solo queuing like most of the population, wade through the rage quitters, the afkers, play PuGs vs FOTM premades, then see what your REAL rating is.

Go on. I dare you…

no point man after all the story’s I’ve heard about leader-boards

just do what i do dismiss the leader boards completely they plain don’t work

and if someone is using leader-boards for bragging rights lay some knowledge on them then tell them to shut there face hole.

just look forward to the new patch and hope they come out with visible personal rating you can see INGAME<<<<<< …. eventually

more likely it was 150-150 when he DC’d but since he gets carried anyway and they were likely facing a pug they easily won without him.

Like the other poster said how would they know the difference between a plug pull and a d/c. Also why do people care so much about leader boards it is basically which premades steam roll the most pugs

I am also against cyber bullying but I don’t believe it’s feasible for the devs to create something that would recognize if you’re disconnecting on purpose or not.

Your post gave me eye cancer and I have no sympathy.

That’s why I said the best way for them to tell is with a reconnect feature. If someone chooses to reconnect then its not a rage quit. If they don’t reconnect obvious rage quit.

I don’t really see any other way of doing it because currently, this is a pretty huge hindrance on us, the players.

I had a random DC last night in tPvP and the game let me back in as soon as I re-selected my character. Then we won.

You can’t have kitten internet and want to be competitive at the same time (assuming your DC was longer than few minutes).

quoted for emphasis

It’s a good example how bad the boards actually work. Though if you win every match and then “loose” one and climb down 18 places . . . Mabye after 30 wins in a row you should be back on 7.
Best Leaderboards evaaarrrr!

It’s ok, you’ll just farm a few extra solo queuers.

how many times did this happen to you? once? twice? it wont satisfy the fact that much more ppl leave on purpose and team lose due to it… all systems have bad sides and this one happens seldom, so its not a problem

They need to change the system. If the team lost then there’s no problem. Everybody gets a loss(at least at it is at the moment… I know people want the leaver to get a harder punishment like 2x the amount of the rating loss the others take).

If they win and he left at the beginning or even before the beginning of the match and never returned of course he should get a loss.

But what if he really played and disconnected because of connection problems and tries to return? I heard this would work… if he manages to return before the match finishes… but of course if they are already winning at 480 then there won’t be enough time.

They can’t take the score points into account. If they say only 0 and you get the loss: People would just cap 1 point in the beginning to get 10 and then disconnect.

There should be an afk timer that kicks you after 30 seconds or 1 minut to prevent from being afk. Then they could record how long you were in the match(if you disconnect after minute 8 then you probably have played all the 8 minutes… if you havent been afk 29 seconds then pressed a key and afk another 29 seconds… seems boring nobody would do that at least not the whole day if someone tries it 1 time I’m sure he’ll stop soon because too much work).

Then let’s say after a certain amount of time played you just get the win because there is not enough time to reconnect(or even restart if whole computer crashes). Let’s say after 50 percent or 75 percent of a match.

Or let’s say:
After 50 percent of a match – 1st disconnect a day.
After 75 percent of a match – 2nd and 3rd disconnect a day.

If he disconnects more than 3 times then he always will get a loss(he should take care not to get too much disconnects but sometimes it can happen). And of course everything counts… if team loses it still is his first disconnect and not counting for the wins where he is getting a loss.

Losing first match + disconnect = loss
Winning 2nd match + disconnect and played 80 percent of the time of the match = win (2nd disconnect and he played at least 75 percent).

Rather than taking an auto loss if you DC, you should just get whatever the result of the match actually is. The game’s keeping track of you being in the match as it is, even if you’re offline, as you can log back in and rejoin your match.

Most times, it’ll be a loss of course, but at least in cases where you’re unlucky and lose link near the end of a game that’s won for sure…you’d be fine.

dc when your winning should not drop you in MMR in no world does that make any sense.

I see no way around it or ppl will just pull out the cable when they are about to loose….

I think this is the reason. There is no proof of a d/c unless someone is there with you.

This is the only person that has any sense in this entire thread.

People asking for “rage-checkers” and everything: that’s impossible, stop asking.

All it needs to do is award you a win if your team won without you and a loss if your team lost without you. End of story. Everything else is a stupid idea and will always be abused in some way.

You leave so many matches, you start getting penalties.
A random DC or one/two match ragequits in a few weeks time won’t upset a game’s life at all.

I have to agree with you… my mouse has d/c before for half a second then reconnected, but GW2 locks up the keyboard and mouse after it does that for some reason so I have no-choice but to exit gw2 and re-enter the tournament.

When it does that it counts me as a loss; even if we win.
We should be punishing rage quitters, not unlucky d/c.

Simple solution: win with d/c does nothing. Lose with d/c punish. Why would someone leave a match while they are winning on purpose?

System is perfect. Why should premades be awarded with massive rating for farming noobs over and over again. But if they do manage to somehow lose to noobs, then they should indeed be punished with a severe rating loss.
They probably just copied GW1 syste. Where for your wins you’d be getting +1 or +2 rating, and for your loss in that case you’d get -25

Quite a cool story tho, especially from someone who only does high rank premade super organized teams.

I don’t think you read what he typed. His team won the fight, but because of his short d/c it resulted in a huge rank decrease; even though his team won.
