Guild Wars 2

Hi !

I’m playing a lot in WvWvW and the number of players who rage quit (logout) on downed state is increasing a lot.

When you logout you insta disappear from the game.

It’s very unfair for the players who won the fight.

Today it’s only some solo players doing this, but tomorrow small groups ?

My suggestion is a timer on logout (10 seconds or so).

Please keep this topic up if you’re agree with that.

Q_Q guys shouldn’t be able to Q_Q !

The ragequit might be bad or unfair for the winner but it’s worse for the quitter, they lose their place in queue and they appear dead in their own world, meaning they must pay to get to a waypoint.
Just saying…

Yeah, while I see no harm in adding a 3-5 second logout timer I’d take pride in the fact that you caused someone to rage-quit.

They are out of WvW and have to pay both repair and waypoint costs now. That, plus they have to sit through multiple load-screens too. I know it feels like you’re being cheated out of your victory but in the end you’ve gained more that way.

What might help however is if there was a more distinct visual effect when someone logged out. I often find myself looking for someone I downed for up to 20 seconds before I realize they probably logged out.

Maybe some sort of “Puff”, “Bang” or “Zap” would be useful to indicate someone just logged off while in combat.

(a) A number of servers have no queues for WvW … (come to Dzagonur ^^)
(b) If you’ve entered WvW from one of the capitals there is no TP fee

And usually – unless you decided to join WvW from the wilderness – you’ll appear dead in an outpost and find someone to rez you. At least it usually works for me after a disconnect – I’m not using the quit feature.

Even I understand clearly your point of view, rage quit was a very nice way to ‘punish’ people that camp for hours in puzzle jump for easy reward.

a) yes, no queues on Dzagonur, thus the ALT+F4 escape is very popular.
b) yes, no taxes, no fee, no penalties.

Anyone who uses a SSD harddisc in his gaming PC will be back in WvW within a few seconds.

Something needs to be done about ALT+F4 but right now there are more important issues to fix.
