Penalized for Inactivity in Battle? Madness!!!

[Glacis_UK]

This is extremely odd. In the battle I just now participated in I got penalized for inactivity. I'd say "mea culpa" if I had done it, but I didn't!!!! I was in the thick of the battle the whole time!!! But I got this:

 

 

HOW CAN I BE PENALIZED FOR INACTIVITY WITH THIS KIND OF RECORD IN THE BATTLE?

 

 

28k of damage inflicted, with one enemy ship sunk is NOT being inactive. What kind of idiot reports someone for inactivity when that someone is in there sinking ships?  My replay is attached.

 

How does one appeal such a crap penalty?

You need to raise a ticket.

with the latest update they changed the inactivity and sanctions control system ... in my opinion it doesn't work well, it clicks continuously

The new notification, when ALT-TAB'd, elsewhere is not related to getting a penalty.

Well, show us the detailed mission briefing, distance travelled etc. Of course you deserve a penalty if you e. g. stay afk for 10 minutes and then wipe out the rest of a ship, because your team made it without you. Your dealt damage says nothing.

OP attached a replay, it tells more than just the result screen. I watched it.

 

To anyone interested, OP was moving from the start of the game, did damage, he wasn't AFK at all. The only thing one can raise is that he didn't shoot at anyone in the first 5 minutes, but he had no opportunity to do so.

While the performance wasn't unicum, it was ok.

 

This is the new and improved system, punishing players who don't yolo in.

Do we know what the new conditions are?

[Siagor]

We'll remember this as the good old days.

 

Soon we'll be penalized for not driving a sub.

"unicum"? What does that mean?

Wouldn't it be fun to have a subs-only battle? 

[Jvd2000]

But you need to buy the “ inactivity pass” first. For a modest 1000 doubloons / patch you are protected against the faulty system that can take away your earnings from a game.

Another 1000D also gives you protection against reports when playing subs / Cv’s..

 

When purchased combined 10% off…

Subs and CVs only, that's the idea. An exclusive mod for them.

Of course not, WG would never soil itself with transparency and honesty.

It means playing at a very high level. Unicum players are players who can single-handedly turn a loss into a win.

They have win rates over 60%, which means they win most of the games they play. They are very rare, save on the forum.

Whoa. Definitely doesn't include me, although there have been a couple of times when I won the battle at the last moment.

That's normal, when opportunity strikes anyone can carry a game. And those are the games you remember.

If the inactivity penalty gets triggered in the first 5 mins, it could be problematic.

Doesn't the sub surveillance hydro take 6 mins to prepare?

@op, maybe it was another battle you were afk in? Late notice? Maybe you were late loading in and were reported as being afk. Only you know the truth of it. We can’t offer sympathy if we don’t know who’s innocent.

Thx for clarifying. So WG basically underlines the uselessness and boringness of their own abominations, the submarines, when their very own system recognizes the sub's play style as being inactive or afk. Peak of incompetence right there. GG!

stronk thoroughly tested programming ... why do they run these tests ... just for the tik ...

where else we've just seen such a level of skill ... thankfully ...

Didn’t we see someone warn WG only a few days ago that there was a problem with this system and a member of WG staff reassured them that the issue was resolved?

The system ignores AFK reports if you move in battle and do damage other than secondary. Plus we were told in the update topic the reports do not trigger the new system.

I remember that. WG always lies.
