Introduction to Havoc Q&A - Dev Blog

[Dev_Blog_Introducing Havoc-Q&A_WEB] Hey Everyone, A couple of weeks ago, we released an Introduction to Havoc dev blog. Similar to when we released the Introduction to Itemization dev blog over the summer, we’ve received a lot of comments and questions. For Itemization, we answered these in the form of a couple of Q&A posts, and we thought it would be a great format to use for discussing Havoc, as well. We’ll compile the most common remaining questions after this post and we’ll answer them …

Answer

“Alt+F4:ing” to circumvent the system is something we’ve taken into account, there are two solutions to this issue, one which is bespoke to Havoc and the other a general solution. If a Havoc Assignment (Havoc Order) owner leaves mid-mission without reconnecting it will automatically count as a loss regardless of the result of the mission for that player. It will also mean that player receives no rewards for the attempt, and it will use up one of the three attempts for that specific Havoc Assignment level.

However, players who remain in the Mission will still be able to complete the mission; if they do, it will count as a win for the remaining players.

ALT+F4:ing to circumvent being “downed” to complete harder penances has been an issue with the Auric penance, and to this end, we’ve introduced more checks when players reconnect.** Players will now respawn back with the health count they had upon leaving, instead of being spawned with a minimal % of hp, and players who ALT+F4 to get around being downed will now spawn back hogtied.

**This is a game wide change coming with Grim Protocols, and it is not exclusive to Havoc.
