Guild Wars 2

Hi! I wanted to now if the recent updates fixed DS.

A few weeks backed, i join is a map, taxi people in, and after 45 min of playing, or when the final boss was at 10%, i got ejected from the server and couldn’t get back.
Is that fixed? Verdant brink and AB are nice and all but i want to do more than half of the new maps (still not touchin TD lol)

No it is not fixed ppl still get disconnected at the end fight / cgi

Not sure, but just start doing DS when the map opens up and you should be fine

Also, a handy timer: http://dulfy.net/2015/11/09/gw2-hot-maps-timer-famme/

What’s been happening is that people are taxiing others into a map that has already popped the “map is closing in one hour, would you like to volunteer to go to a new map” indicator. Then the map fills, but the map still closes in one hour regardless of how many people are now in it.

As Rayden said, just be sure to join a DS map right when they open and you should be fine.

I agree with the above comments.
Also, since the nerf the TD meta is finished pretty consistently now. If you take the time to learn the mechanics in each of the lanes, that zone has alot of fun events in it.

That is the correct explanation, but it is still a BS behavior of the mega server system. If a map announced to be shut down fills up it should not be shut down.

There are so many things broken with mega servers, it is not funny anymore.

No but when i am ejected, it’s not because the clock goes to or something, it’s just the game crashing. And when i logged in, i couldn’t get back to my server (even throught the squad…)

(Lol no i’m not touching tangled depth. The mini map and world map is useless there. I don’t like how it was made.)

Try running the 64 bit client they put out, that should help with crashes. Alternately, turn down your graphics options while in the zone.

I have a mac, the crashes have been limited when i reduce the number of other players i can see (to low or very low).

No it is not fixed. I got dumped out of a DS instance that I had been in since opening just this morning. We were running in the North Tower and boom loading screen and new instance. No warning, no few player dialog. Lost over an hour of work.

Man you should have seen the bad words in the map chat.

Still bugged. 15min ago i’ve been “overflowed” for no reason. No DC, just forced to overflow…

Assuming of course you don’t get disconnected or a serious error dc anyways, and even if you took precautions and joined a party or squad to reconnect you probably can’t b/c its full since people taxi so many in.

I got disconnected during the final cur-scene yesterday.
No, it’s not fixed.
No, it’s not my ISP.
