Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this is a bug, but it’s happened a couple dozen times by now, so I thought it’d be worth mentioning. I show up to fight Teq at server reset several times a week and make sure to get there at least 30 minutes early so that I can join a defense team and be on an organized map.

Within the past month or two, I’ve been kicked from the map consistently (around 50-75% of the time) at exactly server reset. I get redirected to the character selection screen and, while I can go right back to Sparkfly Fen, I lose my place on the now-full map and end up on an overflow.

This occurs only at server reset.

I’m running on a 2010 macbook on university internet (35mbps).

Hello Emergencee,

My question to you would be, why would you start a world boss fight when you know the server is going to reset? That seems highly counter productive and will overthrow a win for that encounter probably as a guarantee. I would suggest picking a time relevant to the event after the server reset has occurred so you won’t be forced into this situation.

Best,

In this case “server reset” doesn’t mean a rebooting or taking offline of the servers.

Emergencee is referring to the timer “reset” of all the daily limited activities such as world boss chests, crafting items limited to once per day, etc.

The server doesn’t go offline or become unavailable for play. It’s just a reset of timers.

Hey, thanks for the response! Like TechnoBill said, the it’s the server time, not the actual server that’s resetting. I just didn’t know how to phrase that correctly.

I choose to fight Teq at this time because I’m in class from 8-5 everyday and the only alternatives are to fight him at 11pm (I do sometimes catch this one if I’m up late), 2am, 5am, or in the middle of class. I’m not quite that dedicated, so if I miss him at 8pm (00:00 server time), I’m pretty much out of luck.
