Guild Wars 2

Enjoying GW2, so well done all and thanks.

While GW2 is still bedding in, I and many others are still getting kicked from the game with the odd connection interruption and the mysterious ‘black screen’ ** (can still f11/f12 hear music but needs an alt-f4 restart to recover).

Now in WvWvW or dungeons any disconnect and you are thrown from the instance, it would be rather lovely if there was some 2 minute grace period where when reconnecting I was still in my WvW/dungeon/story-line it is rather brutal to have to either run back full dungeon, restart storyline (very annoying in the harder/better ones) or requeue for WvW (this can be very very annoying).

• not the place to discuss / solve my black screen issue and yes I have tried firewall, router, graphics card, sacraficing youngest child and sprinkling goat entrails around my computer room….all to no avail.

Goat entrails… ugh… Anyway, I think this idea is good. A couple of minutes grace period could save a lot of aggravation in many cases, and not imbalance a large 2-week long WvW battle anyway.

boink for visibility

I would love to see a two minute grace period for WvW spots. This would allow someone to get back in when they had their client crash, which is a huge deal when you waited for hours to get into WvW which is often the case on some servers.

It would also let people queue on a character and level with them etc, and then hop on another character to play WvW which will add to the flexibility of a group makeup and allow people who have a number of alts to alter their strategy according to events within a match.

WvW REALLY needs a 3-5min grace.
