Around 11:30 GMT today (31-05) I queued my squad for a game of domination. We where the first ones in; with the five of us in the war room with 1:30 left on the timer, and where still the only people in queue by the time the timer ran out and we could choose our deployment location. Now this will happen every so often so we didn't think anything of it; we rushed out to capture the objective, CRU etc. thinking we'd seize the initiative for the team.
After a minute or two we had capped everything and started blowing up assets in the enemies redline, no other players had joined the match on either side. And about 4 minutes into the match the first squad member lost connection, followed by the rest of the squad with 10-30 second intervals. At this point the timer had disappeared from the HUD, but the enemy MCC was at 50% shields.
Seeing as my entire squad had dropped out and the match was clearly not working as intended I tried to leave the battle, but I got no response from the button and was unable to leave the game. Went over to the supply depot to change fitting (so I could suicide and try again) but I was unable to access the depot. Pulled up the map and noticed that my fitting was listed as "UNDEFINED", tried to suicide again but it wouldn't let me. Tried typing in corp chat, but the message did not register.
So I walked into the enemy redline, got the standard warning (but no timer) walked around for about a minute but nothing happened. Called in an LAV with the intention to run it into a wall and kill myself; got a the confirmation message, but no LAV (didn't expect it to work but figured I'd give it a try).
The match ended as normal with the destruction of the enemy MCC, I received zero SP/ISK, but the k/d chart showed I had died twice. I assume the suicides registered even though I didn't actually die.
After I closed down the battle report, I was transported to my merc quarters as normal. Tried typing another message in corp chat and was immediately disconnected.
