I’m finding that I’m getting disconnected from the game server pretty frequently whenever a cutscene plays during a Personal Story instance. I don’t get any disconnects during gameplay, only when a cutscene plays, and my character has the cutscene logo over their head stuck when I leave the cutscene.
I’ve had this happen on Ships of the Line, literally on the last conversation, having to redo the entire instance, and I’ve now had it twice during Victory or Death right as the Glory of Tyria appears.
The server I’m playing on is Whiteside Ridge.

I am seeing precisely this. In Victory or Death, about an hour in, there is a cut scene start – I think – right after the Mouth is killed. Disconnect. I am frankly afraid to run it all again for what I know my mental state will be if it DCs me again at the same point a tedious hour later. It has done this to me before – three times, actually – always at the end of a particularly long Personal Story quest.
Can we ask for some kind of checkpoint system for the extended solo instanced stuff? This is SUCH a masterpiece of a game, it would be a shame if this was its Achilles heel.
Same here. Right after you kill the Mouth. I got through once then the same thing happened just before I got onto the final ship. I can’t believe it’s anything with the connection, it has to be related to the cut scenes. I made a ticket and they told me to do various things but nothing has worked so far.
What is the DC? Is it a black screen? I’ve had that in personal stories, sucks when you’re almost at the end.
I’m having the same issue it’s almost like it thinks you are inactive for to long in a pvp match and it kicks you for it to the character select screen. Only way I’ve gotten around it and it doesn’t always work is to keep hitting my movement keys in cutscene to trick it into thinking I’m moving or doing something. It works most of the time, but still really annoying it’s done to me many times in HoT story as well as core game.
Been experiencing this twice recently, all in the same mission Forging The Pact. I get to around the end (either before or after fighting the final instance boss) before it kicks me back to login.
This is infuriating, having waste the 40m-1h it takes to get up to that point, only to disconnect during a cutscene.
I get stuck on Forging the pact as well, manage to get past it by turning off the firewall in windows and my router. But now I’m stuck at a different mission
Ever since the new addition of Head of the Snake I am getting continuous disconnections which is really annoying…please please help
THE GAME CLIENT LOST IT’S CONNECTION TO THE SERVER

This is constantly happening, I’ve been trying to do the Victory or Death quest and I constantly get disconnected. I end up getting frustrated and play another game. It really is annoying and it looks like no developers are trying to fix this.
I got the same problem. I,am a warrior on world ( Gate of madness ) doing my story quest, Don,t leave your toys out. I beat the enemy, talk to NPC afterwards,then crash. I have to do it all over again,I did…3 Times.I get same little window that Devine Shaddow got…Getting really P.O ed.
It’s likely worth looking to a guide to checking for network issues just to eliminate one possible cause of this.
It may or may not be related to your personal issues, but it’s easy to eliminate, and if it turns up a problem that y’all can solve, at least makes your life better.
