Logging in not where I logged out
I have had it too!
For me it’s linked to this new error a lot of people are receiving, that makes the game crash, makes loading screens take 5 minutes or more and crashes on loading screen.
After I first dced, my character was moved from the fractals of the mist portal in LA (in southern part of the map) to the bank and mystic forge in LA (which is in the northern part of the map).
I personally thought that I imagined it, or forgot where I first logged out, but this thread confirms that it is all connected somehow and something is askew in ArenaNets servers.
Also happened to me in Fireheart rise – together with loads of other problems.
I’ve had this for a few months now. If I’ve been playing for a bit before logging out/switching characters and going back on the first one, it usually puts me on the map I was in before the one I logged out from. I’m usually stood next to the entrance to a map if going there from neighbouring one.
So let’s say I was doing events in Fields of Ruin with character #1,
used my Royal Terrace Pass,
changed characters to character #2 to do whatever,
relog to #1, and I’ll be back somewhere in Fields of Ruin.
At other times I log out in Divinity’s Reach, switch characters, switch back, and I’ll be stood at the portal to/from Queensdale.
Edit/addition: I’d like to also mention that the few times I’ve paid attention to the game when it’s loading, the proper loading screen has shown for a second or three but then promptly switched over to the one for the other/wrong map. It’s as if something goes wrong during the process of loading into the map.
