So I was just kicked out of the game for the latest patch. After logging in again I find myself in a now contested area with enemies literally on top of me (Shelter’s Gate camp).

Almost instant death inevitable. 3s of repair and waypoint costs here I come!

Great thinking Anet!

Something very similar just happened to me again after the second part of the Personal Story quest “Blast from the Past”.

The point where you exit the instance is in the middle of a huge mob of enemies. On top of that a Risen Giant was standing next to me when I spawned.

You seriously need to work on the way that (or the places where) players spawn in maps.

When the server resets, all Dynamic Events reset. You basically logged off in the middle of an undead camp. Sure, you’re used to Shelter’s Gate always being owned by the Pact because there’s 50+ bots consistently guarding it. But you should have probably thought that waiting in a camp that’s always under attack may not be a good idea when the server resets. Or you can, you know, get angry and yell and blame Arena Net…

For the 2 minutes before the server resets there are constant announcements that the server is restarting/patching/etc.
