PVP penalty

Playing PVP, lost my connection log back in and BOOOM, leaver penalty. Look I can understand why the leaver penalty is required to stop people from just leaving. But you also punish people who got disconnected, for no reason this is frustrating.

But yes if I think about it carefully it has to be, or the PVP exploiters will use this to there advantage just like they abuse the rest of the bugs in PVP.

Guess there is no way around this, but by punishing legit players when disconnected is also not the answer.

    The 30min penalty isn't even that bad.

    Most matches take like 20min. And the wait time in Que can be long depending on your class.


    They should make people lose XP for leaving matches. That would be fair.

    The penalty is outdated anyway, there is no competitive PVP in this game currently. So they might just get rid of it. It's not like the overall game quality would suffer. GG is hella more fun than Dom in example.

    IMHO it's completely illogical not to permit reconnects. Count the DC as a death (and kill for a red one) and no harm is done. People who want to "protect" their sacred KDR or win quota by intentionally leaving won't try to reconnect, and people who get DCed by bad internet weather/game client crahs/antivir autoupdate/whatever, and reconnect within a certain narrow timespan like e.g. 3-5 minutes max obviously want to continue playing.

    If you see an exploitable flaw in that logic. If you do please do tell me how an exploit would be possible on that basis...

    ...it also blocks you from entering skirmishes & dungeons. You get DCed and then you're penalized for that by having to waste half an hour. OK, when you're still running the campaigns, that's so-so tolerable, but once you're through those...

    The leaver penalty did not overall contribute to a better PVP experience. Why do you think such a modification would be more successful?

    Especially since it can fix some hardware lag due to the bad game engine. Sometimes a restart helps.
