Guild Wars 2

please consider adding the world boss chests as pops for those who disconnect before reaching the chest. im sure this probably has been posted before but many people do get disconnected during the events before they can get to the chest and when this is the wurm or teq that can be very aggravating since putting that much effort into finishing somethings as hard as those. so please extend the option to be able to reach the chest after being disconnected after a win or add it as a pop up so the player can pick it up when ever they are able to get back on please.
There was no suggestion forum and i was unsure if this was said before so i am sorry if this is going in the wrong place

Not a bad idea; it should also be that if you leave the map before claiming the big chest, the loot pops up in a small pop-up chest to the side.

Although, I don’t know how difficult something like that would be to code, but that might pose a problem.

There is the further problem that this might inspire more people to AFK, as they can simply tag the event and then go and do something else and still get the final chest loot.

in that case i would consider adding a damage requirement to get the chest nothing major but something that someone would have to atleast do a few minutes work to gain it.

Yesterday while doing Frozen Maw, after we killed the boss I got dc’d. Logged back in and the chest was there. Sometimes it’s not. Maybe because of the megaservers. I log back in to a different ip maybe.
Anyway it’s really annoying. During these mass events playing with very low fps and skill lag is bad enough. Let alone getting dc after the kill. That wasn’t the case before the merge…

Most likely because of megaserver.
What ANet should do is reserve a “space” on a server for a few minutes so that you can get back into the server you were on before. Like a anti-DC group, but which actually works.

i would like one of these features to be considered since on major events that only get run every so often missing one is a big letdown

I was in a group for Teq. My game crashed on the 1st burn phase, and by the time I sent in the bug report and logged back in, I was sent to an empty map since the other reached max population. After about 25 clicks, I was able to switch back into the original map with my party members and participate in the last burn phase. Happy to have gotten my spoon – haven’t been so lucky in a separate crash incident, however

thats why i suggest the method or ad a script to keep track of those who were in the went and if it completes be awarded the items if the map finished the event minud you you still need to atleast make it to a burn phase or a certain stage for it to work
