Getting Kicked Back to Base While in Battle

Last weekend it happened for the 1st time. Is similar to how we used to get kicked to 1K from RB. Im not sure if the cause is the same, the RB glitch happened when you basically died twice. When you were getting hit by many mobs simultaneously and so damage registered as you were respawning in the back room. If that is the cause then its really gonna be a problem for anyone who doesnt die easy. Im playing a barb in NW, so many times I am getting atked by many people at once trying to put me down. Now today, heres how my NW went. I enter at 8:20, go to 1st battle which was already well underway with 1 flag capture done. The battle only lasted a couple mins after I got there and I ended up with 226 points. I move to next battle. That battle was 20 vs 20 and I was in there for 15 mins, killing, dying, charm ticking, eating crabs as fast as they CD, same with apos. Had a couple personal kills and Im sure was easily gonna be the better part of 1k points battle for me. Then all of the sudden Im getting ganked by several casters and I die, no big deal except... I spawn at base with no credit for all that time, effort, and expense I just put into that battle. Im sitting in base at 8:40 with 226 points. That means Im on pace to score a whopping 1356 points for a 2 hr NW. That will mean 0 tokens without a doubt. I average 8k points in a 2 hr NW, which I know isnt huge, but its enough to get some tokens every weekend. But I cant get anything if I continue to get booted to base from battles. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone at PWE care to look into it?

    You go back to base after your 5th death. When that battle is done, you do receive you points, with death penalty if your side wins or death penalty plus loosing penalty is your side lost the battle.

    I haven't heard of being sent back to base with less than 5 deaths in a battle, yet.

    Probably this without getting more information from you. If you leave a battlefield either by too many deaths or exiting yourself to go back to base you will not receive any points until the battle has been won or lost. You will still get points for your contribution but this could be 10-15min down the track and will show up in your chat box once the battle is actually finished.

    This.

    Yeah i think it is normal by now.

    But it is really good that what happened to you isn't some kind of weird problem.

    TY for replies. But Ive died many more than 5 times in a battle and not been booted to base. Maybe is you are eligible for back to base after 5 deaths but there are other criteria at work? When I went NW on cleric I got 1 shot by pretty much everyone :/ Im sure I easily died 10-15 times or more in battles w/o ever getting booted. Is just weird it never happened before last weekend, and once it started to happen, it happened repeatedly.

    Also, just an opinion on this 5 death rule. Its hard enough dealing with all the alts in NW as it is. Sometimes in a battle you see half your nationmates just standing idle at spawn points, probably tabbed over to another toon. So this rule just adds to spots taken up by people not in the fight because you know once some get 4 deaths they will just avoid getting into combat to avoid the penalty.

    When you die you'll have a message in chat saying "You have (number) respawns left". When that number hits 0, dying again will get you booted from that battle.

    As for the alt thing, the AFK ones are easily farmed to get booted as they won't actually be paying attention and thus, won't be able to avoid combat if they're found even once.
