Guild Wars 2

This isn’t about the DC’s/rollbacks, this is a somewhat earlier issue. Perhaps a month ago if not less, I started to notice that many times I will log back into the game in a location different from where I logged out. Up until then I don’t recall having that happen more than a few times and usually only after patches.

Lately, it’s been happening all the time. I’ve logged out in Hoelbrak and logged in in Lion’s Arch. I log out at the mystic forge in LA and log back into the same instance (same ip) 10 seconds later, and I’m in the Trader’s Forum. I log out in Metrica Province outside the reactor, and log in outside the entrance to Rata Sum.

Anyone know if this is some intentional change? A result of a change to megaserver-ing or something? It’s very annoying because it doesn’t even require a map instance to have to close or any appreciable time to pass before it happens.

Never had that happen. No idea what is going on. You might want to submit a ticket to Anet and have them figure it out.

You can ask to have your post moved to one of the existing threads over in the Bugs sub-forum, and commiserate with those posters there.

I’m sure the Devs are aware, and the bug is on the list.

Good luck.

A dev kindly moved it already as is probably obvious now. I’ll wait to see if anyone else notes this behavior in their experience before ticketing. Seems odd it’d be isolated to me or my account, but one never knows.

Hey Kruhl can you please put a link to the moved thread here? I’m having the same issue, not on every relog but many times. Happened on my wife’s account too the other day – even appearing at WPs that weren’t discovered by that character yet!

Cheers!

It’s not just you. As noted above, there are (and have been for a few weeks) several thread created concerning this issue.

I am not sure the CS Team can do anything for you until a fix for the ‘bug’ is implemented. Still, it doesn’t hurt to ask, I suppose.

Good luck.

The bug where you are randomly portet to places near a zone entry exists since the
patch with the camera changes.

Actually however the reason is that the zone has crashed and after relog you are
either standing in the zone you were shortly before, or somewhere else in the
actual zone.

I notice a correlation between standing in an “odd place”, at logout, that may be considered out of bounds (even though it’s not) when you log back in.

The code appears to be in place to deal with the method of relogging to break out of a map.

This is anet’s way to combat void jumping. If you relog with same character in short time (example, to try to get another megaserver instance), you will be either put at the start of map, or in the middle of LA (near the old mystic forge).

Doesn’t have to be a short time. I logged out of LA while standing at a crafting station, and logged back in about 30 minutes later in Trader’s Forum. The reason you give may be correct, but the quick relogin detail is inconsistent or irrelevant.

It’s happened to me four times today, with different characters, in different zones, with different times (usually at least 15-20 minutes) between logout and login. The novelty is beginning to wear. Maybe it’s a plot by the corporation behind the waypoint gates, ‘cause it’s costing me extra silver to repeatedly WP back to where I was several times a day. The sneaky little rats….

Meh. This is getting stupid. I just logged out in Straits of Devastation and relogged in Lion’s Arch at the Trader’s Forum. That time I did relog within a couple minutes, but it’s pretty ridiculous to be shoved back to LA from an entirely different zone.
