Guild Wars 2

What is wrong with this company? The whole map participation issue is still here. Why the kitten do I get all my participation/credit lost from a map I was in for over 3 hours and the kittenty optimization crashes me right when the major even starts in Auric. Now all the effort lost.

Get placed into a map with no one here doing the event and I have 0 participation even thought it took me 20 seconds to log back in.

I just came back after hating the launch of this expansion and now this kitten is turning me away from the game again. Please fix it.

If you can get back into the map your were disconnected from you get your participation back.
Always try to be in a party/squad so you can taxi back in, it happened to me in ds the other day got back into my map after a few clicks and i had all my particpation restored.

Regardless, participation should NOT be server-bound.
Not too long ago i was doing Auric Basin with a few other guys, i was at 180% participation, and had to change maps because apparently my server was empty. Although the meta event was going well under way with at least another commander besides me.

Wait how is it possible that you been in a map for 3 hours and did not complete meta events?

Even though I think only about half of that story is true I agree, participation should not be bound to specific instance, especially considering how common map and client crashes and DCs are. I had multiple occasions where I was standing still in GW2, waiting for meta to start, and got DC out of the blue.
I’ve got 2 other game clients running most of the time and they very unstable on laggy connections, yet they remain online.

Anyways, I think participation should be an account and not a map thing and it should just degrade faster while offline.

Alternatively, keep the map slot reserved for like 20 seconds so people have a chance to get back into the same map.
