Guild Wars 2

In my last match, there were at least 2 people who dc’d (confirmed by the infamous yellow x). However, they both managed to connect before the end of the match. We lose pips, and they go on about their way.

Please do NOT punish a team because others have dc’d. Losing pips this way STINKS!!

Evan, not sure if that system is working correctly then, Lord Helseth has a vid of him losing 2 pips when winning, with 1 d/c’ed team mate, that didn’t log back in within the grace period. Just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Helseth won that match so it isn’t even logical.

A dev posted on reddit that what happened to Helseth was not intended and they are looking into it.

Oh he knows. I’m sure every dev has seen it at this point. I think there hasn’t been an official response on here to it is because the only thing they have left to say about it is “we messed up”.

How devs can messed up this kind of behaviour ? it’s a simple unit test……
You have to do some match and d/c people from both team and watch result.

Maybe you need better tests cases before release a big feature.

10 bucks says outsourcing of QA and basic functionality black box testing is their standard. We’re the beta testers.

Ah k, I don’t reddit and there was no reply on the other thread:D

Evan Lesh.3295:

When teammates disconnect and you lose, the game counts as a forfeit which does not lower pips. This would not be the case, though, if they were in your party or reconnected within the grace period.

And this is exactly the problem. a disconnect for even a minute makes victory impossible.

I dont understand it, in our team someone DC’d at the beginnig of the match he didnt come back – we loste the match (of course) – and we lost a pip.
I realy dont understand how that comes that we lost a pip for a match we cant even win.

And i am still not happy that we can’t report afk players, i realy think this system should be rethinked of and changed.

Couse sometimes its just unfair!

We know this is not working as intended – so fix it !
