Losing connection during a match rewards you with 15 min penalty

• Player name, class, level, server: Maesss, archer
• Map: Capture the Flag arena
• Version of the game: r118
• Details concerning the error:
  • What happened exactly? After getting kicked from game while on high-speed reliable internet, resulted in 15 minutes penalty.
  • What did you expect, what did not work? Expected to be reconnected right where I lost connection, in the middle of the match, without receiving undeserved, unreasonable penalty.
  • Can you reproduce the error? Yes.

 

Also, if you get reconnected into the game, everything is reset to 0. All kills, damage dealt, deaths, everything. This has been a problem for a while, though. It's not an offset of r118.

 

To add salt to the wound... the exp gained during the match is added.......

 

Penalty during a disconnection, unfortunately, is an intended feature with the arena. This was initially added to prevent exploits.

Has anyone noticed an increase of this occurring with R118?

 

A penalty for disconnection is good, but this also happens if the network connection is only lost for some milliseconds. Sometimes the "disconnected" player do not even recognize that they were disconnected (they just recognize a short lag).

IMHO a single disconnection of max 2-3 seconds per minute should be treated different.
