Guild Wars 2

A lot of players including myself have had issues recently with Silverwastes crashing our client. There’s an endless debate that can be had as to why including slow computers, old video drivers and even game installation folders but the point of this post is to make a request that will help us.

Nothing is more irritating than to spend 45mins to 1hr getting 5 stacks of perseverence and the Hero of the Wastes buffs and then having your client crash making you start all over again.

Please make these buffs remain on the character if it returns to the same IP within 15 minutes of crashing. I’m almost always grouped in Silverwastes and it’s not a problem getting back in to play with my friends but losing the huge MF boost makes me just want to log out tbh.

MF is useless in SW even when running chest train. You’re not missing out much. I’d much rather have your spot in the map reserved for a few minutes if you d/c or client crashes.

It should not be taking that long for 5 perseverance. o_O

One of the guilds i’m in is specifically focused on Silverwastes maps so I don’t ever have an issue getting a “spot” in any kind of map. My issue is when we have 50% of the zone comprised of guildies and are turning over event maps to generate shovels it’s frustrating to see a lot of players get the MF reset when the buffs can easily be changed to a endure a DC and quick log in.

How long does it take you to get onto a map, bring it to breach and then do a successful VW+Pac-Man to get all of the buffs?

5 stacks of perseverance(you start with 1 so you only need to get 4) is around 5 minutes. Maybe 10 if you are unlucky with the timing.

As for HotW, hard to say. There are sometimes huge differences in how fast the progress moves.

But if the map is full after you d/c, it’s impossible to get back regardless if you have a group. That’s why the reserved spot should be there. I suppose the buffs staying if you come back to that map makes sense, too. I just don’t get why it’s so important to have them all when they’re useless…
