Removed for inactivity after losing lives.

Scarefish · October 28

I just got removed from battlegrounds for inactivity, but I ran out of lives and couldn't respawn.

Happened to me as well.

Hi both! Thank you for reporting this. We can confirm this is not intended behavior, and we are getting a bug in for this issue.

Have you tried not dying?

Same thing just happened to me, we basically had a troll standing on the respawn, so we went 3x4, lost, but since the guy was still up there we couldn't progress to the next round, so we ALL got kicked for inactivity for being dead for too long while the actual inactive guy remained there jumping around on respawn.

Now we got a 15 minutes penalty for being "inactive" while I'm sure the other guy will be free to queue and ruin other people's experience.

I've had two experiences so far where a person on my team ran into the slaughterfish on one and then ran into the lava fountain on another and just stood there. I've had more than two experiences where the other team had someone do this on death match.

This bad sportsmanship is nothing new but is only exacerbated by this format. So we have 7 people who do not get to enjoy a bg and have wasted 5 minutes of their life. One person should not be able to do this, but here we are...

4v4 death match only exists with in crazy king. However this is only because crazy king only spawns one flag the entire match and everyone has to fight for it. I doubt this is by design, but my some of us actively hope for crazy king now because it is the only format in 4v4 where we have a slightly greater than zero chance of having something akin to a real bg.

It happened to me as well during a 4v4 Deathmatch. So normally, after dying three times, you can't respawn until the next round and you can only spectate the fight (which works as intended), but sometimes the game counts this as inactivity, and you get a notification that you will be kicked from the instance. You can't do anything because you can't respawn, so you just get just kicked out from the BG, with no completion rewards either, and a 30 min deserter penalty, which is the worst part. That's the bug basically.

100% agree on this - also one of the reasons why i created a discussion / poll whether they should remove domination (2flags atleast or all domination) from the 4vs4. Maybe we can push that a bit - so we hopefully get better BG experiences soooonish
