Guild Wars 2

Why are characters moved to a default location when I log back in after crashing while zoning or swapping characters?

If I have a character parked at a specific spot, it’s there for a reason.
Should I now be afraid of zoning that character to spvp lobby or wvw?

An example is a character who were logged out at SB spawn.
Game crashed while swapping to that character and when I logged back in, I found myself just outside Divinity’s reach.

It seems alot of the time, when I waypoint, and log off / change characters, it will not save my previous location and randomly teleport me somewhere else (ex: I waypointed to the Factorium waypoint in Black Citadel, and quickly logged, when I came back in, I was in Lion’s Arch near the old Mystic Forge)

Also when using the Heart of the Mists portal to Lion’s arch on newer character, they get teleported to the city portals, instead of the pvp portals.

Imma bump this, sometimes the loggin can really do some strange things.

In Sparkfly, I quickly relogged from an area on the western side of the map, and it teleported me all the way to the Braggi’s Stead Waypoint! (North-East)

I was in the Durmand Priory in Lornar’s Pass and clicked to go to the PvP lobby. Next think I know the game client has restarted and is waiting for me to log in. There were no error messages displayed. It took an unusually long time to load the map and when it finally did I was in Lornar’s but near the exit to Snowden Drifts. I had a similar thing happen once before but I don’t recall the specifics.

Has anyone else see anything like this? Any ideas what happened?

I’ve noticed quite a bit recently that I – as well as my boyfriend and our roommate – am getting randomly booted and log back in to find my character at the entrance to the zone I was previously in. Also currently experiencing an issues where camping in Straits of Devastation is causing me to login in Lion’s Arch. Not sure why it’s moving my character but it is definitely annoying. (I’m trying to park her at the start of The Long Way Around, not sure if relevant.)

Having this problem, also. Logging out in Straits of Devastation but logging in at MF in Lion’s Arch. Also having issues with random disconnects that start you at the beginning of the zone you were in. Not sure if related but also annoying. >,<

I have had this happen to me as well. i waypointed to drytop to check on something and then i went back to lions arch. i exited to character selection a few moments later but noticed my character was supposedly in drytop. i logged back in and the loading screens kept switching bk and forth between drytop and LA. then it popped me to a random location in LA.

Made sure that WP wasn’t contested in anyway from some nearby event?

The waypoints I used weren’t contested. The only contested WP in LA is fort mariner, and I don’t use that one anymore. As for lag, I rarely get that. My computer runs this game fairly smooth at even max graphics, though I turn them down at big boss fights. My internet connection is solid enough that a DC for me is rare, like maybe once or twice a month, unless our service had an issue.
