Guild Wars 2

2 minutes ago or so, I got a “client disconnected” message. When I logged back in, half of a heart’s progress was gone (I had completed said heart). My question is… what’s going on? What if someone had, say, looted a precursor during that time? Am I just overreacting, or is this actually VERY serious?

This has always been possible… though it doesn’t happen on a normal disconnect.

As far as I am aware, this can happen only if the map you were on crashed (ie. the server running it crashed or failed somehow) before the changes in your character had been saved elsewhere in their final place on your account data.

The delay exists likely to prevent the maps from flooding the account/character server from existence (basically they don’t want to ddos themselves, so they have some sort of delayed update propagation from maps to account data).

Where and when were you? World boss events are crashing/reseting/idonteven map instances and it appears that there’s always a rollback when that happens.

All world bosses that were affected by the crit hit fix seems to now crash and rollback the servers. Happened on shattere and golem mk2 two times in a row. Frozen maw was fine since it was not affected.

It happened to me just after finishing teq and opening my loot one day. Anet was nice enough to replace the exotic and aquabreather that I had looted Lost all of the karma, gold, salvaged greens/blues/luck though. I’m not sure if they would replace a precursor because I don’t know if they have record of that drop or would be going on your word alone.

It’s something else, since the crashing is inconsistent. First crash on golem before golem finished his first attack rotation. Second crash on golem at ~60% hp or so. Immediate crash again. Crash on wurm on appearance. Next wurm goes off okay, no dc, no map crash.
Possibly some weird interaction between new fixed crits and some skill or effect.
Edit: and now dc at Claw, during the first phase burn, just after he flew away.

Claw of Jormag just crashed for me twice, both times when it took off after a 1st phase burn.
