Guild Wars 2

I completed the Dragon Stand event, up to and including the final boss kill. I was simply wondering the zone, exploring and unlocking things.

I was gliding somewhere, and BAM! game client crash. That wouldn’t have been a problem, as I was with a friend and could taxi back in. But, after restarting the game and logging back in, the game would not let me taxi because of a stupid ‘Network Error’!

Check my connection? Really? I’m logged in, connected to the game, while browsing this very page, and you’re telling me that my connection is not working! :P

Sure, ok, let’s restart the game just in case the log-in server doesn’t see me. Nope, no luck! I can browse the TP and Gem Store (something you cannot do it the log-in server doesn’t see you) but am still getting the error when trying to taxi.

Actually, that might be some sort of protection, in order to stop people afk-ing in empty maps to taxi after the boss is killed, just to farm noxious pods.
Already happen 3 evening in a row to me, I know your pain :c

When you get disconnected you should have a short grace period to get back into the same megaserver; getting DC’d and not being able to get back in to the same instance has been a source of much frustration since release.

The problem is especially acute in Dragon Stand given how long the meta event takes, and how common random disconnects seem to be.

Spending over 90 minutes doing the meta event, seeing the cutscene and then immediately getting disconnected is the kind of garbage that makes me wonder why I waste my time playing this game.
