Guild Wars 2

I can’t seem to catch a break here. I’ve returned from a crash or a disconnect back into the same Overflow/Main server several times now, and have not been given credit for completing the Marionette fight.

For a specific example: In my last fight just minutes ago, my client crashed at 3/5 chains severed. I came back at 3/5, helped sever last chain, and received no event credit.

Has anyone been having this issue?

Yes. It happens from everything open world to dungeon completion. A trick is to not log right back in unless you can make it on time. Server considers you online for 15min(or 5) after you disconnect. Or it used to.

With all of the crashes/disconnects that occurred, I’ve logged right back in. Doesn’t look like the server considers a crashed/disconnected player online for 5 mins, as I was able to get back in much faster than that.

What Robetul means is that if you stay offline you are still considered and marked as there by the server. As soon as you log back in you are considered just joined. Weird but when I had that problem at Claw it was better to wait then log back in to get the chest. This is one of the more annoying aspects of the game, you should get the chest but may not get the credit if you follow what I am writing here.

Ahh, thanks for the info. That is a strange workaround, but I’ll give it a go next time.
