Even if you disconnect from a game, you get the Dishonor title?

Healers Wisper · Oct 09, 2007, 11:30 PM // 23:30

No it should only be if you leave the game.

Taurucis · Oct 09, 2007, 11:32 PM // 23:32

Well, I got the disconnect screen and clicked "No" and I still got Dishonorable... so yeah... >_>

I Might Avenge U · Oct 09, 2007, 11:34 PM // 23:34

^^

Maybe you're lying to me.. >.> <.<

Might be a bug.. Go whine to Anet, and they'll fix it..

Neo Nugget · Oct 09, 2007, 11:35 PM // 23:35

If you REconnect you are technically still in the game.

If you DISconnect you basically logged off.

You are afk if you lose connection to the server.You shoulda clicked yes

Taurucis · Oct 09, 2007, 11:38 PM // 23:38

Well, let's say I'm not trying to stay in the game.

October Jade · Oct 09, 2007, 11:41 PM // 23:41

I would not say that it matters to make a distinction either way. What's the difference between having your connection go out and turning it off manually? None that the game can see. If it allowed to reconnect with no penalty, this would become the de facto form of abuse. Leaving would require more effort than it used to, but it would still be prevalent.

Well, let's say you got what you deserved.
If you lost connection due to unplugging your internet just so you could leave the game then technically left early so you deserve dishonor status.

Well, let's say I'm just innocently asking a question.

Lysol belongs in the cabinet under the sink, not in your morning cereal

So what you are saying is that you tried to get around the system and still got caught? You got what you deserved...

You don't get a dishonorable for a single disconnect. So either you have a really bad connection and should probably give up for a while OR you are trying to exploit the system and deserve the dishonorable status...

Taurucis · Oct 09, 2007, 11:54 PM // 23:54

:\ Is it just me or did everyone have Carnation Instant Bad Temper for breakfast?

I'm just asking a question, no need to start World War 3...

I call gunner!...

RPGmaniac · Oct 10, 2007, 12:40 AM // 00:40

No no no no, WWIII started in 2001. It's just that nobody will call it that yet.

I Might Avenge U · Oct 10, 2007, 12:45 AM // 00:45

Can Iz still b gunnar!?

Taurucis · Oct 10, 2007, 12:53 AM // 00:53

Can a mod lock this before the little spambots get out of hand? =_=

RPGmaniac · Oct 10, 2007, 02:23 AM // 02:23

I will go on topic then and say that if you were trying to exploit the reconnect feature to avoid getting dishonorable status, then I don't feel sympathy for you if you got it anyway. The system is there for a reason, you don't actually have to stare at your computer screen watching the noobs die or the runner run for a half hour. You can actually walk away from the computer for a couple minutes. Or, take the dishonorable title and do it anyway! You got 10 minutes to kill, get up anyway. And besides, there are other people on your team; it isn't all about you.

Taurucis · Oct 10, 2007, 02:43 AM // 02:43

So give me a good reason to hang around a horrible team that hardly knows what a single word you say means...

RPGmaniac · Oct 10, 2007, 02:47 AM // 02:47

I'm not saying to hang around, just get the fight over with. Fight for 10 seconds, die and just watch the computer until they die. If they're horrible like you say, they'll drop in no time and you can just fight again. It's either waste two minutes or waste 10. And if you get a bunch of bad teams, try out TA.

Taurucis · Oct 10, 2007, 02:48 AM // 02:48

Umm...

I was in alliance battles.
