Guild Wars 2

Okay, so this is now the second time in a row that the Dragon Stand map completely crashed after the meta event had succeeded. It’s the second time in a row I’ve been unable to unlock the machined staff collection I need to work toward the ascended bo staff specialization reward.

Not only that, but apparently as the map chat pointed out, it was a complete server rollback. I checked my rewards and achievements, and they were taken away from me. I had gotten the 25-point achievement for slaying the Mouth of Mordremoth in under 20 minutes, and it was gone after being disconnected. Everyone in map chat was talking about the atrocity afterwords as well.

Words can’t describe how frustrated I feel about this. Twice in a row now this has happened. How in the world is this not a priority fix? It is literally blocking my progress toward the goal I’m after.

Apparently this has been a known issue for quite some time, so how has this been allowed to persist for so long? There is nothing worse than feeling like your time has been wasted. Oh wait, there is something worse: having your rewards taken away from you. A real kick in the teeth.

Please address this issue. I don’t want to do the Dragon Stand meta anymore for fear that this horrible bug will just continue to block my progress and deny me the rewards I earn for my efforts.

Yeah, I had this happen to me twice in a row as well today. Where after the events wraps up in Dragon Stand the post count down timer kicks in. About five minutes in everyone DC’s. The first time I was killing a treasure mushroom. The second time I was going to the spider nest via the ley-line updraft.

Just recently I actually had the game crash on me during blighted tower event. It sent out the crash report to A-net but I am not sure what can be done with it. I am also running the game on the 64-bit client.

Equally frustrated. After over an hour and a half of slogging through this event a crash occurs, and even though I somehow managed to get back in, no chest/reward at the end. This happens frequently (I believe I complained about it as recently as a week ago) and yet still no fix.

Happened to me 5 minutes ago.

Just happened to me as well.

After such a long event is so frustrating to get DC’ed on a map that needs meta to be completed to get HP’s, please look into this, it’s the whole map that dc’s.

Same thing happened to me earlier today. No rewards. No pods. Need to have access to pods for the crystalline ore so I can complete my Gift of Maguuma Mastery. Until they fix this I can not progress along in my pursuit of Nevermore. It’s very close to being the last thing I need too.

Not gonna risk attempting this event until I hear that they have addressed the issue. 90 minutes of game-time is a lot to be completely wasted. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

That was my experience as well. I was in a squad, but it probably didn’t even matter because I was told through map chat that it was a total server rollback. A couple squadmates were saying that they had unlocked the machined weapon collection, only to have it removed upon reloading the game.

And this is the biggest problem. Losing rewards is bad enough, but this is literally blocking progress for many players.

Well it happened again. At least I was able to get the plated weapon I needed and open up some pods before it happened.

Players have also reported this happening despite running the 64-bit client. I doubt it’s a memory issue, because I’m not crashing completely to the desktop, but rather I’m being kicked to the character select screen due to some network error.

My connection is fine and I literally have no problems like this on any other map in the game. Is there really no official word on this?… because it’s a pretty big problem.
