Guild Wars 2

I’m on “Frozen Out” story mission, took me 27 minutes to finish the mission, the last thing just didn’t want to break, even though the boss ran through it MANY times. ANYWAY, I killed it, I was at the FINAL dialogue part (which cannot be skipped, yay) when I got disconnected (it wasn’t even my internet, the game simply kicked me out). And now I have to do the WHOLE thing again… 27 minutes of my free time wasted and all I got was a headache.

Seriously, when will we be able to continue story missions??? When we log back in there should be an option that says “Do you want to try again from the last checkpoint?” Checkpoints, just like when we die. Please make it happen. Or something like that. Sorry for the caps. I’m frustrated.

Yea its too frustating as it restarts after dc .
Also i wish anet adds a repair NPC in migraine i.e. hearts and minds challenge mode , because it takes quite some time and wipes to complete that CM in chapter 15

DC during the final dialogue of story missions has become a regular thing for me as well. I’ve asked before if anyone has any idea why this happens, or what can be done about it. So far, no responses. At this point I’m not doing story missions, as a game play session that ends in frustration is not fun. It seems a pity that the company that knew how to save one’s place in an instance more than a decade ago cannot (or will not) do so now.

Yep, it needs to be logged or saved somehow. When I feel I might be experiencing a good bit of DC’s I won’t even attempt a story or really play much it takes a lot away from it. And definitely hate seeing all the time wasted.

Yes, I only get dc’ed during dialogues! A few weeks ago it happened to me 3 TIMES A ROW during the Queen Jennah one (season 3, ep 4)! I got so annoyed, I didn’t touch story for a while…

Anyway, after I posted this thread I tried “Frozen Out” again and spammed my skills during the final dialogue. No dc! Maybe it’s coincidence BUT what if the server thinks we’re idle/afk and kicks us out because of some bug or something? :o I’m gonna spam my skills like crazy during dialogues to test this!

Other than story missions, I only get dc’ed when my connection becomes unstable (rarely happens) but that comes with huge ping spikes. When I dc from story, there’s no sign of dc at all and I can reconnect immediately!

Chances are, the ability to reconnect is never going to happen. People have been complaining about this since GW1, which had the ability added a year after launch. They have however at least tested the idea of checkpoints, giving you the ability to continue a story instance from the last checkpoint. The one involving Aurene in Tarir for example supports this. They certainly wouldn’t go back to add checkpoints, but this is someone you may see in the future.

If you are only disconnecting during the story, try running the game on port 80 or 443:

Gw2.exe -clientport 80

There is a specific problem that can cause you to be disconnected during cut scenes specifically and changing the port seems to fix it for some people.

When was the last time you did a -repair on your game client?

I’ll try that, thanks.
