Guild Wars 2

I know it’s meant to discourage/punish kittens who kitten up a game, but what about those who dc but come back? I can’t help but wonder why this system would write a man up for dessertion while his team is clearly winning and he makes it back within 2m. How does the game decide whose a desserter and who’s not because I feel like there should be a better system for this. Getting written up for dessertion and having to wait sucks, add the pain of knowing that your team was winning = T_T

You have 2 minutes to reconnect before getting dishonor. This duration is a fine balance between load times, and how long someone can be gone without causing a loss.

what about someone who disconnected right before their team won?

for example,
evan was in blue team, leading at 490 team points, crushing red team at 100 team points.

the team score ticks 498 but evan was disconnected due to client crash etc.
evan gets a loss and branded as a deserter.

now tell me, how would evan feel?

You would still get a pip, as long as its not longer than 2 mins you wont get punished.

Well, considering that it was less than 2 minutes, that person would get a win and get no penalities.

This happened to me.

I got the win.

I was happy with the result, though angry at my computer kitteng out on me.

My name is not Evan.
