Guild Wars 2

So I got this message today when trying to join my friends in a particular instance. As it stands I was unable to do so. What the kitten?

You got an error message, or just that the map was full. Every map instance can only hold 150 people. It has always been annoying to get with friends on active maps.

“This map is closed to all not already in it.”

I believe this is the message you get, when you try to join a Dragon’s Stand map after the meta event chain is completed. A lot of areas and loot appear then and ANet wanted to make sure, that only people who played the meta have access to these.

Solution: Join the map before the meta finishes and pray you don’t disconnect.

If you have regular problems with being disconnected, you might want to follow the guide here to figure out where the issue is, and try and get it fixed.

Over the last year I have only once been disconnected by something other than “cable modem lost Internet entirely”, and that was closely followed by patch notes reading “fixed a server crash when <thing I was doing>”.

@SlippyCheeze.5483 Personally I didn’t have any problems ever since the 64 bit client beta started. But I know enough people who suffer from frequent disconnects, that I decided to add it to my post. Just yesterday a friend of mine lost the connection directly after looting the big chest in Dragon’s Stand. No Capsules or Trasure Mushrooms for him.

If you have to pray not to get a dc then you shouldn’t start a Dragon Stand run in the first place.
