    Have you disconnected in an Arena game?

    Well?
    I know that if Battle.net goes down or if you disconnect, you automatically get a loss. But has it happened to you?
    I personally haven't. Only time I have seen it was while watching TotalBiscuit's Lord of the Arena-series.


    EDIT: To clarify, Hearthstone arena.

    It has happened to me a few times. Twice was due to the Tuesday maintenance. A few others were just because my internet connection can be very shoddy.

    The maintenance ones were still counted as a loss, which seems a little silly to me since everyone disconnected. There also was no system warning (that I could see) like there is in WoW.

    One thing I would like to see with this is give some kind of grace to reconnect to the game. We have 90 sec on our turn and I know I could reopen the game and get back in, in that time limit. Really don't like the auto losses.

    I have lost 2 matches due to my laptop battery dying (the low battery warning doesn't seem to appear while playing hearthstone the way it does while playing other games). I've also had matches freeze 3 separate times during arena, though I did not disconnect. When that happened, neither my opponent or I have been able to play cards. I've also had two of my opponents dc this week as well.

    Too many times in the past... stupid thing is that my net wasnt disconnecting me or anything, it was just wow dropping its connection.

    While your post surely is welcome, this is for Hearthstone rather than WoW.
    It isn't as devastating in WoW these days.

    Yup, twice so far, and both times was for less than 1 minute before I reconnected, so I'm really hoping that for live they implement a short reconnect grace period.

    It hasn't happened to me yet thankfully, but I haven't been in the Beta that long or even played a lot for some days since I am busy with university stuff.

    While not disconnects, my laptop blue screens quite a bit while playing WoW and I've lost a good chunk of arena games because of it.

    Oops didn't realize this was in the Hearthstone forum hehehe
