Guild Wars 2

We all know the feeling of being on an awesome map, all is going well and you’re 2 min from getting that sweet loot, and then you dc. If you’re in a squad/party you might be lucky to get back in, but if you’re alone that last hour of work is just wasted.
After this happens several times, it’s no small loss anymore.

I know it would take work to get done, but what i wouldn’t give to have a chance to get back into the map i got dc’ed from. Like after you dc you have 2-5 min to log back on and still have a place on the map.
If any have suggestions to how to get back in after dc, please do share.

This has been posted times before. Not berating you, it’s just something that the player-base still can’t understand why it hasn’t been implemented yet.

I mean, GW1 did have that; I can only speculate that the network infrastructure or implementation is different somehow and doesn’t allow for a reconnect.

2 mins from getting the loot? Last week I was DC exactly 1 second before I pressed F to activate the Dragon Stand Chest. Simply awful.

Exactly. We should have a “reserved” spot on the map for 5 mins in case of dc.

Well, yeah, GW1 had a different architecture since it was instanced and not a true open world game; each map had it’s own copy in the server for a player (and their party). Guessing this made it easier to place the player into the map after a DC.
