Guild Wars 2

I have been playing guild wars 2 for a little over a month now and am in the world boss grind with my level 80 elementalist. Just recently my game has been crashing over and over for no reason. It has never done it before, even in full worlds. However, it does it inconsistently. I have been in the middle of tequatl and it just close out the whole game and then I miss tequatl since my reblog puts me in a new map where no one is fighting him. Just today however, it closed out at the very end of tequatl and I got the daily rewards but I was forced into a world that had not beat him. I closed out and logged again then ported around until I got to a winning map with the chest. When I finally found one I made a mad dash to it just for it to disappear a second away from it. Since I had access to the chest, does that mean if I beat him again, I receive no boss chest or can I do it again and get the chest I missed?

I believe if no chest appeared at all, you can redo the event and get a chest as per usual.

And as a small word of advice, if you have a history of DCing during teq, it may be wise to group up with people in the zerg. If anything it’ll increase the chance of you getting back to your old map, provided someone doesn’t swipe your spot from you.

Just set your graphics to medium or low when doing world bosses. That would help.

I did see a chest after porting around until I got into the map with a chest but didn’t make it to the chest so Idk if I can still get it but I’m gona try. I normally don’t have problems but recently it has been happening. It is also at random, like just running around. Well thank you all for the help, I’ll try both suggestions.

If you want to prevent crashes at world boss events you can restart the game before joining one, or even reboot your computer before going for Tequatl.

I did just find out that even tho I never got to open the chest, I didn’t get one to spawn in the next try so if you see it and don’t open it, you lose it till reset.

Opening the Chest is character flagged, but the chest itself tracks participation per event. So this thing you’re doing to look for a chest after a disconnect doesn’t work, since they won’t open for anyone who wasn’t involved with the event as tracked by the local instance.

As for the stability problem, Teq and Karka queen both have a loooong history of bug regression surrounding audio buffers and particle effect overload. The former is hard to mitigate because its something with the game’s sound engine; but the latter can be helped some by reducing the player rendering count and some LOD tweks.

I got a strange one waiting for teq last night. My screen just suddenly went black and I could not bring it back, even though I could hear things the entire time. I finally just disconnected and fortunately was able to get back to the same map again.
