Guild Wars 2

I just spent an hour in Arah Path 1 and lost internet connection when the last boss was at 10% health (my connection had been stable for the entire night until then). By the time my friends noticed I was gone, the boss was dead and I had missed out on the entire dungeon reward.

Why should all my efforts be immediately forgotten just because I DC and miss the last 5 seconds of the path? I’m not posting just to QQ, I simply want this to be changed. If you disconnect, your character should remain in the instance (and possibly open world maps?) for 5 minutes (at least) to give you a chance to earn your reward. An unlucky DC shouldn’t cost you the entire reward for the path. In the original Guild Wars your character remained in-game after a disconnect and it should be the same for the sequel. I’ve missed to many rewards from random disconnects.

Ive lost PvP progress and rewards, bosses (like tequel) drops and dungeons rewards because of random dc at the end.

What about if we can have a setting to show our pings? So we can at least see if our internet is playable, like in PvP it happened a few times that my internet is all good in the lobby but, in the match it was unplayable.

Don’t they already show your ping in the settings menu along with your fps?

Because you’re not in a group and you didn’t stay in the zone. If you don’t want to lose rewards, 1) make sure you’re in a group so you can return to the same megaserver, 2) don’t DC right at the end.

This is something that happens. It sucks and it’s annoying, but it’s how the game is designed. It doesn’t save your progress and it counts logging the same as zoning. And DC is the same as logging.
