Guild Wars 2

This has been happening more and more often lately. I’ll be in the map doing my bit trying to defeat the golem, when everything slows down and eventually becomes dead still.

At this point I realise I’ve either had a major lag spike or been kicked from the server and just don’t know it yet. This has been happening once in every 4 or 5 times on average, but tonight I was kicked from the server, re-logged, put into a new instance with < 10 people in it, and about halfway through it disconnected me again.

There’s nothing wrong with my connection and there’s no background activity at the same time. I’m being booted from the server or suffering major lag with no explanation.

It’s best to join any party of that instance in case you disconnect. That way you’ll be back in the instance you disconnected from.

This is hitting everyone. So far, no explanation. No one seems to be claiming it’s a DDS attack.

Last night I got dc-ed out of Golem Mk II and relogged into an instance that had VERY few players – we did finally manage to down the Golem though

Well, it was a satisfying event in an odd way because it really was a proper battle with so few people… but it would be annoying if it happened often, and as it was I ended up missing Maw because it took so long to down Golem, which I was kinda irritated by. Also I kept getting the there-are-few-players-would-you-like-to-move-to-another-instance message, actually during the boss fight which was distracting and annoying, I hadn’t any spare attention or fingers to do anything about it lol

So, did something happen last night? Quite a few of us dc-ed all at the same time, and it doesn’t usually happen to me at all (despite my thready broadband lol). I’ve never before experienced nearly finishing a boss fight and then dc-ing and ending up in a completely different instance where the boss hasn’t even spawned yet. It certainly was weird.
