Guild Wars 2

This post is entirely about the Battle for Lion’s Arch and the Major even that takes place to defeat scarlet.

So here is my personal experience:

I was move to the overflow section of the Battle for Lion’s Arch

The event starts all 3 knights are spawned – I join others in killing the red knight – my friend joins me after red is killed – we kill the blue and then green knights – we then enter the portal to start the fight with the scarlet hologram – throughout the fight I dps the boss and continue to help downed players staying active the whole time – we defeat the hologram – we then go onto fight the 3 smaller holograms – again I dps the red hologram and revive players – once the red hologram is downed I attack the green – continually dpsing and reviving players – the green is killed I then move onto attack the blue hologram – I go to attack the blue hologram and I am removed from the game and returned to the character select being told of issues with the client……I log back into the game on the character I was on and I am with one other player with the Scarlet hologram alive (which I had killed already) I teleported out to a close waypoint and then tried to re-enter the event but was unable to do so.

My friend however remained in this fight and eventually killed scarlet and got the title & loot. Now I strongly believe that if I was not unfairly removed from the game I would have completed the Achievement and got said loot.

This so far has been the only chance I have had to kill Scarlet, the other groups I have done it with have been too small and have wiped. This was my 3rd attempt to kill her.

Now what does that make me think when my friend who joins an event later than me can complete the event and get everything when I simply get removed from the game and cannot re-join the event.

I have not played this game for very long but I have never had this issue before participating in the battle for Lion’s Arch events.

After looking at all this should I be getting client issues?

It’s an issue a lot of people are having. They’re getting disconnected from the entire event when it hits about 25% or so. Report a bug and move on. Maybe it’ll be fixed before people move on because they already have their achievements.

Keep in mind that you still have more than a week left to complete this, and it happens every hour. If you truly are intent on playing on a server that is guaranteed to win, go guest to the higher level servers. You can try for SoR. Guest at the 30 minute mark and if you end up on the overflow, you will end up in main as players leave or move into the story instance.

Disconnections/bugs are an issue throughout the game and are often rare. I have yet to DC in this event, so perhaps there was just a nasty bug that hit you.

Also, do not WP out of the ship. When you die, it even warns you. There is no way to get in again.

Welcome to Bug Wars 2 – the game where you spend your time, spend your money and the game bugs out on you. That is why they call new content day Patch Day now. You don’t really expect the game to run smoothly do you? Stick around for more bugged play in the new bugged season. LoL

I’m unclear what any of this has to do with fairness. What happened to you was life, and life isn’t fair.

I had a disconnect while doing same. It is either a bug or you may need to lower your graphic settings (I found this was part of my issue). Every event I have gotten into Scarlet’s ship the Main Hologram sticks at about half to two thirds down and we can never defeat it so I can’t unlock the other two achievements. Yeah, it doesn’t seem fair but life can be like that too. This event will go on for a while longer so hopefully they will keep working on the bugs. If not, there is enough time to do the dailies to get the meta if that is what you want.

If you report what you think is a bug, put as much detail as you can as to what point you crashed – what was going on at the time plus the server you were on. It might help them id what is causing these issues. Check your crash log to make sure you weren’t running out of vmemory also.

The title, mask, and other chest rewards aren’t tied into the knights and battle with Scarlet on her ship.

If you have a back item made from the blade scraps (you can pick up the necessary parts for under one gold), then you can use the Purple Portal and go directly to the story instance at the end where you get the said rewards.
