Guild Wars 2

So, a friend and I were with three other people doing the story mode for Ascalon Catacombs. Took us sometime but had fun got through right till the end with Adelbern and we started watching the final cutscene.
About 5 seconds after the start of the cutscene we were suddenly teleported out of the dungeon to Plains of Ashford with four of us being confused and angered. Turns out one of the guys had instantly skipped the cutscene and left the dungeon which, I assume since the rest of us were in the cutscene, caused us to follow him on our way out, missing the reward and any credit for the completion of the dungeon.

Now is it because the guy left that we got screwed or just some random flukey glitch? (If anyone has info for the latter possibility it’d be great to know)

Hopefully something can be done about this; I realize its just a game but its unfortunate when you go through the dungeon and just because someone didn’t want to watch the end cutscene and leave early that his teammates get cut out of the end reward.

I think the current glitch is that if the leader of the party exits the group, the rest of the group is ported out of the dungeon. Did the player leave the group entirely or just zone out?

I had this once aswell while running a group..but everyone poofed on out. Perhaps a bug…perhaps the dungeons in charge of the servers blew up momentarily or perhaps the leader of the group thing Garrix said….but how does one know who the leader is..is there even party leaders really?

I’m fairly certain he wasn’t the leader of the group. And player zoned and left the party but whether he did one before the other or vice versa I can’t know for sure since we were all in the cutscene. I’d suspect he didn’t leave the party before he zoned otherwise there wouldn’t be reason for him zoning to affect us since he wouldn’t have been in our party.

Still, this probably doesn’t happen too often but I’d hope theres a way for Anet to make sure it never happens at all. Sucked going through a 2 hour experience just to get teleported out before getting a chance to receive your reward just because one of your party members was impatient.
