So, I’m playin some good old pvp, chilling style and I get a DC. I didn’t leave intentionally, I lost connection to the server, it said. So I came back to the game and had about 38 seconds respawn timer. So my question, ArenaNet is – are you crazy? A player gets DC, so the enemy team has an instant advantage ( I DCed in the middle of a 2v2 btw xD) and you add to their advantage more by prolonging my respawn timer to 40 seconds? You are joking, right?

Cheers,
David

I think it got something to do with people logging out and back in when they died. They used to get instantly respawned when they logged back in. So people that had good PC could abuse that. ANET may have changed it this way, thats good. Not 100% sure though, may have just been a bug.

That is kind of weird, that would mean the respawn timer was saved in my PC, it should be saved on the server, right? So if u log back in, the server should send information to your pc how many seconds are left on your respawn timer.

Hey,

just bumping this post, I would like an answer from ArenaNet, if possible.

Scykosix.7836 is right, if you log out / DC, you get a penalty of maximum bleed out time + respawn timer to prevent log out / log in abuse which is way faster on fast computer. See here

The penalty is indeed stored in the server (security reason) and sent back as you come back.

Oh so it’s about downed mode. Well I believe if they added 10 seconds to the timer, it would be enough. People that get DCed not by their own making suffer from this.

You can DC on purpose (i.e. unplug cable) to simulate a DC and come back quick. Anet has no way to tell if a DC is an abuse or not and treat all of them equally.
