Guild Wars 2

Today I was lucky enough to be online to participate in the one-time event in Lost Shores. Our overflow zone completed the first portion/event, then continued on to the portion where we had to lead the Ancient Karka back to its nest. I’m not sure how fast other overflow zones were completing this, but I’d played for easily over an hour and we were mostly there when I died (one of many deaths). This time however, I was in a bad spot and no one was coming to rez me after 5 minutes. Looking at the map, I wasn’t too far from the WP, so I opted to map and run. Well, with the lag and all, my game client got hung up on the zoning screen. I waited about 8 minutes before giving up and restarting. Of course, logging back in put me in a different overflow zone. Logging in and out wouldn’t get me back to my overflow and none of the ones I was in had the event going (done or never started, I don’t know). Obviously, this was very frustrating as I missed out on finishing the event plus its reward. I would like to recommend some type of disconnect system whereby within a reasonable amount of time (and of course pending it still exists), players are returned to their overflow zones. I also think that dynamic events being so long would be better off if broken up into several smaller parts rather than one over-long one.

Thank you.
