So I know this has been an ingoing issue and as blizzards server becomes increasingly unstable and the wind gets tougher (nearly 90 mile winds) d/c are gonna be a constant and unavoidable issue so I think it’s time we talk about ban changes.
You go into a dungeon, you’ve almost cleared the final boss and you get d/c, Blizzard, winds, power outages, computer issues something like that. you accept you’ll get a 30 minute deserter buff unless the boss somehow dies in a miracle. But that ben should be for 30 minutes regardless. I log in and see that I JUST got the deserter buff. Since you essentially made all my pets and tmog worthless with this timewalking not longer being one time events, the dunegon deserter debuff needs to be counting down no matter what. Clearly a bug of some sort related to the d/c and logging in and dungeon deserter buff. We need a quality of life improvement related to this but I’m sure it’s a insurmountable task on blizzards part and something microsoft doesn’t want to touch ever.
Summary: requesting quality of life improvement to dungeon deserter/dc combinations. There is no real incentive to quest when instances give 3 to 4 levels so focus on the dungeon finder mechanics for now.
wut.
Anyway you did bail on a group. If this is truly a disaster situation then this is going to be a rare inconvenience. Right?

What? Are you complaining that the debuff doesn’t count down when you’re offline…? Because it does. It sounds like you got disconnected and didn’t login for a while, but then you received the debuff the next time you logged in? That’s more or less working as intended.
If I had to articulate it, when you leave a tool-formed group too early you get flagged for deserter, but the debuff doesn’t get applied to you until you load into a different area. In your case, you got flagged by being removed from the group after your disconnect and when you logged back into the game some time later, it put you back outside and then it applied the pending debuff to you (notice how the game often shows the loading screen for the last instance you were in even though you pop up outside).
I would guess that this is intentional so that players can’t evade the debuff by intentionally disconnecting and waiting for their character to be kicked.

This guy defending with memes. all the pets I had were rare one time event pets. they are worth around 3.5 all together. not their not worth the data they are coded on and thats not really the focus of this topic.
This is why I’m convinced all these threads are fake.
