Guild Wars 2

I am sure that at some point everyone has had the misfortune to disconnect whilst doing a dungeon or Fractal. It is not funny having to apologise to your team mates who have to carry you when you do DC, and especially so, in the higher levels of fractals. So why oh why after all these months does it not appear to be taken into account. For people not familiar, if you DC (disconnect) from the server whilst in a fractal, you get moved to the beginning, dead. This means that very often there is no way for your team to revive you, other than breaking combat. In open areas that is fine, but very often, that is very difficult, and bordering on an impossible task if you are in a pug. So the question I have to ask is, why not have them respawn at a closer area, rather than right back at the beginning (Note—I am not suggesting an easy ride by having a re-spawn on top of my team ^-^). In theory, I can understand that, the ‘team break combat—revive’ scenario is supposed to improve team play. However at the moment, as you are so far away on coming back in, (and dead to boot) it feels more like a double wammy punishment—once for you , for dcing, once for the team who has to carry your dead weight—-if you have not been kicked in the mean time that is!

About a month ago, I returned to the game from my processor overheating and eventually causing my tower to never start up for more than 5 seconds.

I would constantly have to apologize to my fractals group because I’d DC in the more intense fractals, such as the Ascalon one.

I’d have to respawn and run all the way back to them, only for it to happen again on the next fractal.

How they put up with me in those groups for it, I’ll never know, but I commend them for letting me stick around.

It would’ve been nice to spawn closer though.
