AP calculation question

If you're about to get a big ole AP, tick but then your game crashes (which happens every time there's enough people around to generate a big tick on Xbox) does any of that still calculate when you wade through all the loading screens and finally get back on to find your light-attack riddled corpse?

    My understanding is if you disconnect for any reason you are cleared from the list of players getting AP for whatever fight you were in the middle of or waiting for a tick on.

    I can tell you that I was disconnected during a fight and got back in after the fight had ended and missed the tick. I know this for a fact because it was during an event and everyone was talking about the 500k defense tick. Its not something one forgets missing out on.

    That is really weird how nobody has answered. I thought people DC in cyrodiil often.

    Hard to test since you never know when you're gonna crash. Probably a question for the devs.

    I have never noticed an AP tick when loading back in after a crash. Then again, I'm usually pretty upset by that time so I may just not be seeing it.

    Ya I was just wondering if it ticked upon logoff action, which you wouldn't see. That would occur the first time you log back on where it always fails, and it kicks your previous session.

    If your game crashes but the server thinks you are still there, you'd get the tick. If your offline status is registered before the tick happens, it would be the same as if you left the area, I'd think... I have no idea if you get the tick then or not.

    This seems about right. At least, this is what I would expect
