Two days in a row now, while fighting the Karka Queen, the GW2 client application has crashed. There seems to be something uniquely “bad” about this particular encounter.
Sometimes I get credit for the kill, but since I can’t return to the specific map for the chest, I receive no reward (and even if I could return to the same map, it is a very long run through numerous threats, so the chest would invariably expire before I could ever hope to reach it). Sometimes I receive no credit (or reward), and have to wait 4 hours to try again.
Yes, its just one boss, but if when this happens regularly, it begins to affect my ability to collect ascended materials (and character development is an important reason why I play the game; so, when this sort of instability impedes character development, this part of the rationale is called into question).
At this point, I think the developers should provide some means to obtain rewards after a crash like this.
