log out in battle - suggested hot fix

[mouse of war]

Logging out in battle is making PvP futile in many situations.

 

Suggest that anyone logging out in battle loses any XP gained from that battle

Further to that, any captured ships should be lost as well.

No, while everyone outside can sail away / tp when he wants to, the battle participants can't do that. They fight, often more than one hour, and must have the right to take a break, too. They have also a real life. Anyone who has fought a battle should get the rewards, like XP gold and ships, no matter what he does afterwards.

 

People outside have the advantage to gather around in a big group, but the disadvantage to wait for the battle to end. If you don't like this, simply sail away and find an opponent for yourself.

ok this seems to be 2 different conversations..  you mean logging out during Combat? I have never seen it which is why I ask. Anytime anyone in a battle I have been in disconnected in 10-15 minutes if they haven't returned their ship surrenders while they were gone it just sits there sails down doing nothing

As much as I know if you log out in combat your ship stays there to be mauled... do not know for sure how much time.

 

Logging off from the post-batle is a must   (for the record I would not allow waiting there, you have 5 min or quit),  as said previously you cannot be forced to keep playing against your RL neeeds because someone wants badly be avenged.

 

Btw IMHO the exploiters are indeed those who are waiting outside the battle , abusing "telescopic" time and TS comunications .

Ok sorry I didn't get this right. If you mean logging off during battle, I must admit, that I did encounter this once in a former alpha version. I was logged off during a battle, logged in (after many attempts I finally succeeded) and found my ship in the nearest friendly harbour, minus 1 dura and of course, no battle rewards. This is exactly what you propose, isn't it?
