Guild Wars 2

Yesterday i played a match with a friend and he dced, even though he came back and we won the match i lost 2 pips.

I made a support ticket and they copy-pasted a response telling me to post my “feedback” in the forums. I will not repeat what the majority of people have said already about the horrible matchmaking and this kind of bugs. I’ll just going to ignore PvP until the next league and hopefully that one will be better than this one.

I’m extremely dissapointed about ANet response.

Hi there!
In my case I was supposed to win a point but did not. But just did not give me any points and all that I get was a penalty for 18 minutes because I disconnect during the match, although that I relog before finish the game get over.

Hope get my pip back. Thanks

what was their response?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your ideas about the Guild Wars 2 PvP point system. We have found that the best way for the development team to gather and review player feedback and suggestions is through our official forums. We ask players to post their ideas in our Official Forums: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum

Please post your suggestion in the forum most relevant to the subject at hand. For instance, if you are writing about PvP, post in the PvP sub-forum. If you are making a suggestion about a specific profession, please post in that profession’s sub-forum. And if you are writing about the Living World, feel free to post in that sub-forum.

Members of the Development Team read the forums daily, and while they usually cannot respond to individual suggestions, the fact that team members can review those suggestions in a public forum helps them gauge the level of interest in a particular idea, and also allows other players to discuss and offer feedback of their own.

The team looks forward to reviewing your input.

Regards,

What I dont like is how you lose a point in a match where someone afks or logs off completely. If anything you should not lose a point for that or at most gain one.

It’s not a bug or anything. It’s intended. Since you were partied with him, it penalizes you too. The other people on your team (but not in your party) gained a pip. Ik it sounds flawed, but this is the system they have in place.

But he came back and we won, that doesn’t make sense :/

It’s occurred to some other players too.

Since you won, this system doesn’t make sense. It’s actually known as a bug and they will fix it… let’s say.. in 3 months? :p

It this is intended, it’s obviously wrong (you should not be punished for the nerkwork issues of your friend) and in programming terms this should probably be very easy to solve.

This will be changed for an upcoming update so that disconnecting will not cause a desertion for party members if they win. The player who abandoned the match will still get a desertion.

If I read OP right his friend DC’d, but was present at the end of the game, meaning he didn’t desert but was away longer then the “save period” for DC’s. How is that still a desertion or “abandoning the match” when he came back?

Is there a way to identify which player leaves during a match and doesn’t come back as a desertion? In this case, if a player gets DC and does NOT return, he will suffer desertion and pip loss.

For a player who DCs and comes back in due time to help his team with a win should not be labeled a deserted or has abounded his team.

lost a pip because of that as well today….. my internet crashed and i reconnected back into the game as soon as I could, but still the -1 pip and 10mins deserter…. I mean: I’m cool with being harsh to leavers and if you are very unlucky and your internet crashes for the whole game, thats a fair price to pay for less leavers, but if you are able to connect back to the match, that’s IMHO not abandoning a match.

Maybe theres some middle-ground there, but at least for the teammates, it’s a no-brainer to not make them loose pips.

But in case that the player come back before the match end ? will be punished?

Why punish someone that returned to the match? Also, do all team members get punished if the match is lost simply because of one persons disconnect?

My friend didn’t abandon the match, he came back in like a minute and we still won. The worst part is that i lost 2 PIPS! not 1, but 2!!!

You guys fixed “We Heal As One” in 12 hours. How is it that something so ridiculous isn’t fixed already. Helseth announced this bug on the second day of leagues.
