Guild Wars 2

i joined a party to fight Tequatl for the world event. when the server for that map hit full capacity, the server disconnects me and others outside from the party. when i tried to rejoin with my party, it wouldn’t give me my original instance as that map because it was full, denying me my reward for my contribution

this may not be an issues on the higher populated servers. but since mine was medium at the time. there was only one zerg at fighting Tequatl

does this happen often to other players? if so will this happen a lot more in the HoT expansion?

I suggest that the server should have the ability to reserve 15-25 spots for players that randomly disconnect. and reserve that spot for that account for around 40 seconds or more for that map. if that time expires other players then should fill up the map capacity

There are no more server specific maps. Everything is a mega server, so it allows people in until the soft cap. Then only allows people in if you are part of a group until the hard cap. The best bet would be to lower your graphics so you do not get a disconnect when Teq happens.

totally forgot megaservers was a thing, how kitten y of me. also im pretty sure its a server related issue. though i will admit that im using a pretty average pc rig, and maybe i could be still wrong. im already running the graphics settings on almost the lowest settings possible. and in the past 3 months of doing world bosses often this is the first time during a world boss that i’ve been booted.

thanks for telling me that there is a system in place. but according to the soft and hard cap theory it failed on me, which made me think that there wasn’t one in the first place

so by my understanding. the soft cap or hard cap would of been in effect when the game disconnects me. so when i try to reconnect its hits full cap. So at this moment im happy to believe that i was extremely unlucky more than anything else. and if this doesn’t happen often to anyone im more than happy to let this thread die
