DC during PvP: win record not updated
What happens is that my character can freely move but cannot cast skills and all other players seem to be stuck in place. I found that the only remedy is to go back to character select screen (or worse, restart the game client) and then go back to the PvP arena.
Yes, what you are describing is certainly a disconnect. The client has lost connection with the server. You’re able to move around and such because the client is running on your computer, so can take commands, but cannot send them to the server (or get any response back).
However, after I return to the same pvp match that was interrupted, even if my team is victorious and even if I made the most points in the team, the victory is not added to my win records. This is frustrating bec it never happened before and now it’s happening frequently.
This is intended. When you disconnect from a ranked or unranked match, you automatically take a loss if you are disconnected for more than 30 seconds (or did it get bumped to a minute?). This is to discourage people from intentionally disconnecting from a losing match.
I see. Makes sense. My suggestion is, in addition to the time limit, there should be a condition in which if the player is able to return to the game after the time limit:
if the player is able to contribute points at least above the average of all team members, then if the team won, the player should not be penalized with a loss…
Because no player will intentionally dc from a winning match lol
