Guild Wars 2

I understand the game needs to update and if you’re in a dungeon it gives you a three hour wait time but this is the second time I’ve been in a Arah dungeon group and I’ve been forced to end the entire dungeon cause someone leaves after the game announces an incoming update.

For those who dont understand, if you’re in a dungeon and the game announces there will be an update in 3 hours then you’re whole group is screwed. It might not be bad if your group has ran the dungeon tons of times and completed it but it’s a nightmare for people who put together new pug groups for arah ( The hardest dungeon in the game). Both times I’ve had to spend more than 2 hours teaching people how to run through paths 1 and 2 just to get to lupus which is a very tough boss. More often than not, one or two people will get discouraged and leave which bring me to my problem. Since the game just updated nobody can join in the dungeon anymore nor can anyone in the dungeon leave. (Wont explain this).

There should be a page announcing when updates are happening so people can plan ahead while in dungeons. Arah in particular

yes i agree, i have written a thread about this issue as well, i also did arah, and same thing happened….its really frustrating on one hand, and on the other, we dont get any reward what so ever

Not all dungeons give you hours to complete the dungeon before it auto updates for you? Only had it happen two times. Once was in ac where it gave me like 3 hours the other was some personal instance and it gave me like a hour there.

the issue is not the time it gives…3 hours is enough for any dungeon

the main issue is getting people to stay and re-inviting people

1st of all, people see updates they tend to leave,

2nd, when you try to invite somebody else , they cant enter because they patched and you havent

3rd, you cannot leave the dungeon to recruit people, game will exit and patch automatically when you do.

Ah i see. I guess i’ve been lucky to run with people smart enough to realize we need to finish the zone first.
