Guild Wars 2

when you know you will lose the game,then you leave the game you just minus 3 point and it didn’t record any lose game ?Is this a Bug?

I means in this patch, anyone who not in the game when it ends.
It doesen’t register you so no win no lost?
You just minus point becuase system think you are dc or change another char?

If your aren’t in the game when it starts, or leave at any point, yes you will get flagged as a deserter and lose the max amount of points for the match.

Justin, I think this is an incorrect way of doing things. I understand that you are discouraging character swapping by making those who do so lose points. However, I think you should instead either

A. WARN players who are about to swap characters that doing so will cost them points
B. Disallow the “character select” option entirely when in a game
I think that either one of these changes would positive.

Secondly, things like disconnects happen. I don’t think it is fair to any player if he/she disconnects for 5 seconds, logs back in and loses points. In my opinion the loss of points (as it pertains to disconnects) should hinge on the following.

A. If the player is not present at the end of the match, the player obviously loses the maximum number of points
B. If the player disconnects, he/she is flagged by the system. If the player than demonstrates participation within the match (personal score, kills, points captured, etc), the flag is removed and the player receives points normally. Otherwise, the player loses the maximum number of points.

I feel like these specific changes will hurt the players who deserve it while not hurting the players who are affected by situations that are mostly out of their control.

I assume they didn’t just lock you out of the character select screen or disable log off, because it is harder/more work/partly not possible with their current systems.

Doesn’t realy matter if they warn or. It, people complained about auto losses cheating them of a win even though it explained that was not the case in the screen, and people don’t seem to recognize the ready button either.

and people don’t seem to recognize the ready button either.

You make it sound like the ready button is new. It has been there since launch. People don’t press it because they want to talk to their team and talk strat. Every match is different due to team comps and requires a slighty different strat. 90% you will never see me select ready BEACAUSE WE ARE NOT READY. Just saying… If you think everyone should just ready up instantly you are ignorant.

I still see many people that think they can swap characters before the game begins, when i try telling them they cant they argue me for some reason.

Anet needs to announce this or disable the ability to do so.

It was announced, a month ago and many times in between. Every time they logged in for the past month the announcement sits right there in front of them. If they choose to ignore it, let them. It is no loss to you as long as they come back.

I’m not so sure that it was announced, i wouldn’t have known if i didn’t browse the forums myself. I only started to lurk the pvp forum because of the kittenty pvp patch. A lot of people don’t read the stuff your talking about. There needs to be a in game notification warning you that you are about to do something that will negatively impact you.
