Guild Wars 2

Yes, this is another Dragons Stand boss crash thread. ANET please pay attention.

So I took a chance tonight by going into Dragons Stand. Little under two hours pass, get to the boss death cutscene, cutscene ends, I start making my run to the big chest, aaaaaaand we all know what happens next.

Can we SERIOUSLY get a fix for this issue? This has been a major bug since October that has yet to have a solid FIX. And I’m not talking about:

“Oh, just lower your settings.” Why should I? Why should I have to lower the quality of the game to remedy this glaring issue?

“Just party up with someone, so you can get back in.” Oh yeah, that’s grand, forming a group EXPECTING to crash on a map, lets get a round of applause for the community on this one. Creating a new map culture to counter a lack of fix on ANETs part.

“You crashed after the boss died? Too bad you can’t get back in.” Seriously. Whos idea was this? No other map, to my knowledge, has a ‘lock out’ mechanic barring those who weren’t in or were forcibly ejected from the map from getting back in. This alone is the reason most dread the infamous Dragon Stand crash.

“Just use the 64 bit client, that’ll fix it.” I am. And I wish that were true. I really do.

Best part is, that’s not even the ONLY major bug this map has. You also have to pray that your map doesn’t randomly reset mid run. Whoops, add that to the list.

The fact that there are this many issues and that no REAL solutions have been offered, is unbelievable. And the silence on the subject drives home the idea that ANET either doesn’t care, or is unable to fix it.
