Guild Wars 2

When are we going to see a fix for this issue?

Like many, I have a rock steady Internet connection yet frequently suffer from the client losing ‘connection’ and find myself having to re-log.

With an entire expansion pack designed around time consuming meta events that reward participation one would have thought that solving the problem of players being kicked from maps and losing progress would have been one of the underlying ‘known issues’ that would have been addressed first.

SAB is another example – Tribulation mode for the larger zones can take several hours and to find yourself being kicked after1-2 hours of play is hugely annoying and unnaceptable.

I sincerely hope that this is one of the top priority issues to be fixed in the next major April update.

Seconded. My DC rate for Dragon’s Stand, and Dragon’s Stand alone, is roughly 150%. If I didn’t play during NA off hours, I doubt I would have been able to finish the meta before SAB was released because the map would be full every time it happened. There needs to be something done about whatever is causing the DCs, and there needs to be something in place to “hold” our spots where we left off, either within the SAB instance or in the active meta map, so we don’t lose progress and/or the ability to rejoin.

It’s very frustrating when the game crashes, or you D/C and lose progress. People have anti D/C parties in the map, so if you D/C you can get back into the map you were in. It’s worked wonders for me when I D/cCd, but managed to get back in as I was in the anti D/C party.

That works well for maps that aren’t full. Unfortunately, in non-SAB times, it’s incredibly hard to get into an HoT map that’s doing meta events and people are trying to join well into the event cycle. I’m never without a squad in Dragon’s Stand, but I’ve been “replaced” in the the thirty seconds it took me to log back in more than a handful of times, once during the MoM fight.

I remember them saying it was something they were looking to fix. Possibly for the April update, but that isn’t confirmed
