Guild Wars 2

Can a whole party get the update during a dungeon/fractal and go back right to where you left off?

The reason i ask is because my guild did fractals tonight, and the update message comes up at the start of the very last one @difficulty 12, my friend loses power and is forced to get the update, and when she got back it wouldnt let her rejoin us. And we didnt know if we all left to get update if we would end right back in the jade maw part of fractals or if we’d have to start all over again.

I’d just like to know for sure, for future reference, because i am sure it’ll happen again, and it would suck if we all lost the time spent doing it again, just because of a dc forcing someone to update to a newer build. Thank you in advance.

Not to my knowledge. I believe the way it works is something along the lines of the instance you were in is utilizing the old build, hence why new build players cannot enter.

This. If I remember correctly, a dev said that players with different builds can’t play together (but can chat).

It’s best to avoid doing dungeons altogether when you know there’s an update coming (of course we rarely do know when it’s coming).

I really wish they weren’t doing updates during prime time EST. Very frustrating last night when we got to a certain point in a dungeon and someone had to reboot, only to be forced to patch and then couldn’t rejoin – so we all patched and the instance reset.
