Does a Disconnect Soft Ban a player for a time?

  • My friend and I were playing Sea of Bones as Servants. The exact moment that the invasion tunnel started darkening the screen to get us in a game, my friend was disconnected from the game. It was either a ping issue with the server or a lag spiker (probably the former), because the game we went in was sometimes really bad on ping and sometimes not.

    Well, my friend got back in and we sunk the other ship. They got no allegiance for the battle. So we assumed that it was a glitch and that they would get it eventually. After the next battle, we won and they got no allegiance. And my friend noticed that the emissary flag HUD and the hourglass HUD was gone from above his health bar.

    After some computer and game restarts, nothing fixed the issue. Eventually we just sold our hourglass and re-raised it, and he got his HUDs back. But it's a shame that he lost the allegiance for 2 sinks (which would count as 4 given the current gold & glory event) and we had to end our allegiance streak.

    Is this a soft ban or a glitch? I will send a support request but I just wanted to know if anyone else had this happen.

  • Disconnects don't ban players.

    Sounds like a bug happened. Bugs and glitches can occur around disconnects. It could help to report them so they can get addressed and help mitigate them from happening.
