Guild Wars 2

I understand this has been brought up before, but has there been any indication for preventing players in WvWvW from instantly closing their game, because they got downed? This is becoming much more frequent: over the past few days, I’ve had about 8-10 alt+f4ers every hour in WvWvW, and this denies loot drops.

This is not a big deal unless you’re trying to farm badges of honor (only place for PVT exotic jewelery), and the way these things are priced, every chance for a loot drop counts.

A quick solution to this is to leave the character in-game for 10 seconds whenever a player chooses to exit. This way, players cannot exploit their character out of danger.

Just laugh at them because they’re pathetic, unskilled, children.

Yes, it does show the individual’s character and it’s pretty poor sportsmanship. Generally no big deal; but for those farming badges, denying loot is an issue.

If these people actually learned from why they got downed instead of rage-quitting, they can become a better player. That’s what I do when I get downed, even as I watch them dance on my mangled body. More incentive to not get downed again

Logoffski is pitiful. Especially in this game with its minimal death penalties. I am all for making people stay in game for 10+ seconds after they log to avoid stuff like this. Maybe just in pvp so people don’t whine about it in pve? Either way though I’m all for it.

True – as of now, this gives zero penalty for death. This should apply for PVE as well – death should be punished, otherwise what’s the point of trying to keep your character alive? Suicide rush all day

Lol what? I get infracted because a mod didn’t like that I made a post about difficulty of wvw map completion but we can call people unskilled pathetic children and not be infracted what?

I’m pretty sure it still costs them money in repairs if you get them, maybe thats why.

Badge of “honor” supose to be a reward for a “honorable” kill not when u destroy someone within 1-2 sec in 20vs1 fight because you are invisible thx to reendering issues. Repair cost could be lower a bit. Also finishing player by invisible thief is a bit unfair cause it cant be countered. Im sure if Anet fix those things it will reduce the amount of ppl who use AltF4.

What about eles invul finish? Mhmm. Yeah, forgot about that didnt you.

other classes can stomp without hindrance, not just thieves. and if you want to talk about honor, there’s nothing honorable about throwing a temper tantrum and logging out because you got beaten in a video game. that’s the type of behavior exhibited by 5 year olds. people need to learn how to man up and take their lumps, then get back into the field to dish out some of their own.

if the 1.5 silver repair bill seems like a lot, grab a couple people and go capture a camp. kill the yaks that are there, and you’ve actually turned a profit on the whole deal and helped your team out to boot.

IMO there is a huge difference between the 2.

An ele will at least have to run up to the downed enemy press F and cast mistform and then try to escape making him/her vulnerable to attacks before and after finishing. On the other hand, because of the rendering glitch a thief can sneak up finish and run away all while invisible. I have seen this happen so many times in wvw. Thieves going invis, finish and successfully running away even when surrounded by 4-5 enemies all trying to protect and rez the downed player. Kinda of ridiculous if you ask me.

so it doesn’t matter if they can stomp you and there’s nothing you can do to prevent it, just as long as you can see them doing it….?

Well at least ele can be killed by allies while casting finishing move, in the case of Thief i can scrab my oo because he is invisible. If they abuse reendering issues other ppl are abusing altF4, totaly fair.

are you familiar with the phrase “two wrongs don’t make a right”? if the rendering BUG is affecting a thief, it doesn’t give people the right to alt +f4 out of the game. one is involuntary, the other is voluntary. one will be fixed, the other shows a complete lack of character.

and…… elementalists gain damage immunity. that means that, no, no one can kill them during the stomp. they’re immune to damage. so they get the stomp in regardless of how many people are swatting at them. the same goes for the other classes that can use damage immunity to stomp. also, in case you’re not aware, a thief ISN’T immune to damage while in stealth. if you have someone in the downed state, you should expect a stomp to be coming in on them. stealth, damage immune, or otherwise. toss out some AoE. you can kill the thief, but you can’t kill the damage immune classes.

but regardless of how the stomp mechanics work, it doesn’t justify ragequitting like a child because you got beat up in a VIDEO GAME.

I had at least 25 people do this tonight, may have been less than that but more than once per who knows with this game … but !!!1 at least 25 times, I would be very happy with such an addition .

Farm the EB JP chest for badges by supporting your friendly neighborhood Mesmer portaller.

Or the warriors endure pain, or the mesmers invulnerability, or the engineers 100% evade.

And I am also saddened by all the alt-f4ing I see. I have had a few good 1v1 fights but lost all respect for who I fought when they were such poor sports and quit.

Ok right here, and right now i can promise you, if they fix reendering issues im not gona use alt-F4 against thief if he manage to get me down.

This Thread is closed as there are many other topics about pressing Alt+F4 in WvW, however feel free to articulate your Ideas in those Threads.
Thanks for your understanding.
