Guild Wars 2

This just happened en masse for the Shatterer on Ehmry Bay server. I thought it was just me, but apparently it happened to most people.

The lag was insane – everyone was complaining in map chat. Then right before the boss died, the game hung, with about a minute of nothing happening on screen, and just a chat or two getting through. Then, disconnected.

Log back on, boss is dead, no chest, and map chat is full of people sharing the same issue.

Is there any way to make it so if you would have gotten credit before you disconnected, you still get credit and the chest is still there?

It’s the sort of problem that seems will happen again and again during primetime world bosses, due to the sheer volume of players, so…

Perhaps a workaround is necessary?

The same happened to me on Dragonband. Got disconnected and no chest.

Same thing today on the Shatterer, same home server.

Half way health, lags out so nothing is happening on screen anymore, disconnected.

Only this time, it appears everyone was disconnected – he wasn’t dead yet, and everyone was saying the same thing.

Worst part was though, we killed him after logging back on, and no chest.

Definitely seems like something wrong with this Boss in particular. Starting to think this should go in the bug thread…
