Guild Wars 2

Twice this weekend I was disconnected from a full octovine completion map right as it was about to finish and couldn’t rejoin the instance collect the reward.

Please fix this so you keep your instance when you relog. This should really be a no brainer feature. People are just taxiing in their friends at the end of metas and bumping the people that were there from the start.

Agreed. For a limited time, though (like, a minute or maybe two).

They need to let us join new maps and retain our participation.

It is no fun whatsoever to spend an hour in a map only to have it fall apart and get nothing for your work.

100% agree with this concept. In addition, I think if you are disconnected rather than manually choose to leave the map, you should also keep any ongoing effects that would otherwise be lost, such as sigil stacks or map-specific effects. It truly sucks to have to regain those things just because you were DC’d or the client crashes (which happens FAR too often lately) and you reconnect very soon afterwards.

Can only agree. I know players regularly join arbitrary parties as insurance for a dc but even then, when you rejoin you often can’t get back into the instance because the map has filled your place!

In addition to this, the whole instancing thing needs a big improvement to allow players to select instances like in GW1 towns rather than be lumbered with a dead zone.

The transfer to another zone if under-populated feature is also bad. Often I say yes, go to the new zone only to be told within 10 seconds that the zone I am in is under populated! And this isn’t zones where metas have just finished.
