Guild Wars 2

Tourney-Dishonorable Debuff..

My knowledge is that, if you get a penalty x3 within a 72 hour time period, you will get the debuff. The first 2 penalties is all right, understandable, but the last penalty…wut.
I played the game until the end, and all of a sudden I got dishonorable (unjustified). Here is what happened:

Within 72 hours:
1st penalty= DC’d and couldn’t get back to game in time due to unusual error 58/7
2nd penalty= DC’d from game server crash from a DDoS group and couldn’t get back in game in time.
3rd penalty= Finished my game all the way through. Redirected back to HotM, and I got dishonored.

I am well aware you can’t lift dishonorable-debuff, and even so you guys don’t have the system or resources yet to compensate achievement points. But please try to fix this asap. A compensation would be lovely as I am an achievement hoarder so the last 3 achievement points from the tourney dailies really mean something to me LOL /sadpanda

Cheers.

This is not a bug, The Debuff is working as intended.
The DC-issues are recognised and being worked on. So in this case I would recommend to make a suggestion in the pvp forum to change the dishonorable debuff system as follows (well it would be your suggestion I don’t play PvP, but this is what I think would be fair)

1: when Anet recognises that they have server issue, all dishonorable statusses are removed.
2: when there are extended periods of server lags, anet has the abillity to change the system temporarly that you have 4-5-6 or even more penalty’s

I should have mentioned that I am also aware the first 2 penalties are not considered bugs, but the last one is. I hear it takes 3 penalties within 72 hours for the debuff to be activated. I am fine with the first 2, no big deal, but my third one is totally out of the blue. I was an active participant from start to finish for that game. I can’t comprehend how I was penalized for that game, and because of that third one, I can’t join any tourney games anymore til 10 hrs later.

(Non-bug related)
My friend recently just got DC’d 3 times in 3 different tourneys due to the ddos attack and couldn’t return in time in any, and uh he is now dishonored til tomorrow LUL.. Surely something can be done about this to make sure this debuff is not spreading around unjustifiably. Why he persisted joining even during this DC mayhem is beyond my comprehension.

Yeah had some issues with this today when ANets servers were DDos’ed by #DERP-trolling, in addition to a patchy internet connection I DCed a fair amount when I was playing today in ranked/solo queue. I came back a few hours later and was penalised w/ a 2.5 day debuff which is kinda nuts considering that it was a documented attack on the client server.

:C
Anet?
