Guild Wars 2

It disconnects me every time I kill the first undead shark and undead scout in the underwater/sewer portion of this quest; [Forewarned is Forearmed]. As soon as that cutscene between myself and my NPC starts to come to an end, it disconnects me and plops me back at the start… making it utterly impossible to progress.

I’m not doing this a third time, this is ridiculous. Fix your game.

Have you tried skipping the cutscene (while awaiting a potential ‘fix’)?

Good luck.

Also, https://www.pingplotter.com/fix-your-network is a good guide to tracking down network issues. While this may or may not be a network problem, it’s a good start to eliminate that possibility.

You could also try using the `-clientport` argument with 80 or 443 for the client, and see if that helps. Some ISP “smart” filtering for torrents, etc, apparently throttles GW2 connections and causes pain, but is bypassed with that setting.
