Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if there was a difference between the following ways to leave WvW that is causing the queue bug:

1) Closing the game client.
2) Going to the game menu and selecting Log Out
3) Going to the game menu and selecting Quit Game
4) Using the Lions Arch portal, then doing any of the above.
5) Using the Hall of Monuments item to travel to HOM, and then doing #1, #2, or #3.
6) Leaving party (if partied), and then doing any of the above.

Just to be on the safe side, I’ve been leaving the party, then exiting out into LA or HOM, logging out into the character screen, and then closing the game client. Seems kind of excessive at the moment.

Sorry if this has been answered by Anet already.

I think leaving wvw via Lion’s Arch portal is the best way to ensure that the game knows that the player did leave the map and to allow those in queue to get in.

I’ve been dropping my group then exiting WvW via the LA portal. In my head, it comes out on top as the cleanest way to make sure the WvW map isn’t still counting you as active in the zone. I still see way too many people plain exiting the game while in WvW and grouped though.

What I usually do if I’m in a WvW map is logout to the “Character Select” screen, then re-enter on the same character. Then I wind back up on whatever map I queue’ed in from. I usually lag a bit heading into LA so this is faster for me. But this way I know I’m recognized as being in an open world map instead of WvW. If I’m in a party I don’t generally leave it, though, unless I’m completely done playing for the night.

this is what i also do. mainly because I keep all my lvl 80s in frostgorge so they can grab the few T6 nodes there. Now like yourself i make sure i log back in to make sure my character is registered in the world map.
