Guild Wars 2

So, according to what guild members tell me and what I read in this forum, I’m not the only one who has to deal with constant
a) crashes
b) freezes
c ) bugs and framerate drops
I don’t want to introduce a huge discussion on how a game that has been released 3 years ago should run stable or that I paid more than average for an addon to an mmo that is crashing all the time, I want to go straight to a proposal how to fix this game if you are unable to fix the crashes:

Several times now I was in a map for a meta event (dragon’s reach, auric gasin), had to relog because of the instable game client and then couldn’t get back in because the map was full. Why? Because even though you are in a group, your slot is IMMEDIATELY given away to other players. The same applies for loot when your game crashes right at the wrong time and you’re not present when the loot is distributed.

Guild wars 2 needs a function to prevent this from happening. If you get a dc during a map meta event, your slot must be preserved for a reasonable amount of time in order to give you a chance to come back. Same applies for loot. If you participate in an event for 15 minutes and get a dc, there must be a time window such that you are able to get your reward for your participation.

Have you tried the 64 bit thing? It’s helped a lot of people, and definitely made my game more stable.

Less seriously, I want to go to auric gasin…

Yes I’m running the 64 bit client. Still unstable. I even formatted my system before HoT. I don’t want to post my hardware specs here but it’s more than capable to handle this game.

That’s rough, sorry to hear it. Older games (one I know of at least) have had systems in place to hold your spot for a few minutes so I’ve always been a little surprised that GW2 hasn’t yet.
