Funny because none of the metas overlap timewise. You can only do one HoT meta at a time.

Well of course you can only do one at a time because you cannot be in two places at the same time.

I do not know if the meta’s do not overlap in time but I don’t think they have the exact same timings on each server instance. The reason for that is that sometimes I’ve seen a meta event happening, I log out and back in and I am on another instance where there is no meta even going on at all on the same map. So I do not believe that all the different instances are synced. So I would think that if guildies are on different server instances that it is possible that 2 meta’s are happening at the same time…just not on the same server. That is assuming your statement is correct. I have no evidence for or against that statement.

Yep they have exact timing without overlap. They go in order. Dragon Stand MIGHT be an exception if you get a really long run, but DS, TD and VB are never ever going at the same time. And it happens at the same time on every single map as well.

There are NO VB metas happening when AB and TD metas are active, period. There are no AB metas happening when VB and TD metas are happening. And there are no TD metas when AB and VB are happening.

The metas happen at the same time on each server and they don’t overlap each other by design. They don’t have the same meta time in different maps.

Well, then you’d have to explain to me why I can be in the middle of the meta in Auric and get kicked from the game, I log back in in seconds and find myself in Auric without any meta happening at all (dormant) and then I log out and in again to find myself in Auric where the meta is happening but a step earlier in the meta than the one that I got kicked from originally.

This happened to me yesterday.

The meta has a time window during which it starts on every server. Not everyone is going to start it on every server. However, it’s available TO start on every server.

Some servers are people running hero point trains, or just doing adventures or farming mats too. Doesn’t change what I said at all.

If you go into VB or you go into TD while the AB meta is going on, you’re never going to find a meta going on in those two zones.

Edit: go to a site like gw2timer.com that shows upcoming metas and world events. You’ll notice that the metas are listed not by server, they’re simply listed. If they didn’t come up on fixed times on every server, how would a site like that even work?

I see what you mean. So they start at the same time but can last different lengths because of the players taking different amounts of time to complete them. So it just sucks I don’t get put back in the same instance after a disconnect.

This is why people group up or join squads. Anyone who does this stuff regularly gets into a squad. It helps. Cause than you can rejoin on your map….most of the time anyway.

Thanks, that clarifies things for me.
