20 hour desertion penalty

Shadowasrial

So I was winning a match in battlegrounds. My game freezes. I haven't been kicked to the home screen. I stay there listening to my teammates winning. They claim we won the match. I'm like awesome maybe I'll still get a reward. I tell them I'll relog to unfreeze. Sure enough I come back to a 20 minute desertion penalty. After it expires I try to que again but low and behold I have a 20 hour penalty now. After multiple emails back and forth between zos they tell me they want to just set the ticket setting to solved. Yet I loose my place in all 3 leaderboards taken entirely off of them. And even though my timer is now gone have been stuck in endless quest and haven't even been able to get back in a match to try to regain some leaderboard standing. This needs fixing zos.

So now you get penalized for the game's bugs. My condolences sir.

Shadowasrial

To make matters worse they told me that they want to submit the ticket as finished. And I'm like what about my leaderboard status? This bug made it so I dropped off all 3

there should be Zero penalties.
and Zero ability to KICK people out of battlegrounds.

I ranted about this happening to me in vet trials on the burn phase of the last boss, and got flamed by most who commented. It was everything's fault other than the broken game's... Obviously you don't get a timeout like a 5 year old when re-logging from within a trial, but I also didn't get loot, and wasted time in the trial for nothing. Either way this "freeze", but voice comms still working was not an issue around the Halloween event when I played last.

Anyone know if this started with Homestead or some other particular patch since then? It would be awesome to get a fix. People should not be penalized for trying to play the game. I'd rather sit in the queue as people come and go without punishment, than get punished myself for flaws in the game. Either way... It's time I spend waiting vs playing. Just remove the penalty already; it's flawed with the current state of the game.

This exact thing happened to me. I'd get load screens and be kicked out because I was stuck in them for so long.

It's truly a frustrating thing. This kicked me off the leaderboards and made me forfeit any chance at getting rewards. And battlegrounds requires nonstop play to stay in top 100. I have already earned all the achievements minus the healing ones and the 500 kills on my own flag. I guess zos had to find a way to give these other players a chance at victory. In a different note I love the bloodletter dye. Bathe my armor in the blood of the 1000 innocents I slaughtered.

Now if they just added this in Cyrodiil too

Lmao to the poor people going for BG Leaderboards.

Those guys have patience, big patience, I really hope you guys get very good rewards because you spend more time in the queue than playing

No there should be penalties as it stops ppl just quitting when they are losing

I hear you. I am sick to death of the constant freezing and crashing anymore. The lag is terrible and everywhere you go the rendering is so bad and blurred textures. Servers are crap and fps are worse now than ever. I really believe they have a huge memory leak. Having to relog or restart the game constantly is getting tiring. When are they going to work on this existing problem that has plagued us from day one, instead of what to put in crown store. I would think you get what you pay for and I have dang sure paid a lot for this game. They owe it to us to get qualified people in to fix this mess of coding and server stabilty.
