While in a Vanguard site today a BS DC'd & stayed in site I am guessing due to Sansha AGGRO & new retribution mechanics...
we were lucky this was an Incursion with logi's to rep him... in a mission level 4 site I expect he would have died...
now imagine though node/client side issues cuase mass disconnects how many petitions are going to be going to CCP GM's due to ships dieing & staying in site due to NPC AGGROAttentionAttentionAttention
An' then Chicken@little.com, he come scramblin outta the    Terminal room screaming "The system's crashing! The system's    crashing!" -Uncle RAMus, 'Tales for Cyberpsychotic Children'

If you lose connection to the server, you will not be reimbursed. Thats your fault.


If the server / node crashed on CCP's side however, then you would be entitled to a reimbursement, but even then if the Node has died everything loaded onto it would stop working (including NPC's)

Do you think that will stop 1000's of people from petitioning?

My understanding of patch notes is that when the client disconnects, the ship performs emergency warp off AND THEN stays in space for the duration of NPC timer. Did I misread?

emergency warp off doesn't initiate if the rats have you scrammed and while you're disconnected any active modules shut off.

OK, I understand the scramming part but this about modules is a new one to me. BTW, did anyone test whether warp is re-tried after scram drops?

And why would that change now all of a sudden? Theres nothing in this expansion that would make you more likely to die than there was last expansion, you can still be scrammed and killed by rats.

You can still be scanned and popped by a player in the 15min timer if you don't come back.


I wouldn't be suprised if the GM's don't have a program that filters reimbursement requests and whenever it sees "Disconnect" or something similar just sets it to the bottom of the list.

Was in a lvl 4 mission when scrammed. Got DC'ed. Had drones deployed.

When I logged back in (rather quickly) I was not in the mission pocket, and my drones were picked up.

My modules were still running.

Not sure if its different in incursions, but that's what I experienced last night.

A PVE change that was made for sole purpose of catering to PVPers who need more help to catch ratters or anom runners. If it fraks people up doing PVE without any hint of PVP in vicinity, who cares. EVE is a cold harsh universe, only babies farm for ISK, just buy and sell PLEX.
