Guild Wars 2

What’s worse than a fractal run where a player disconnects and can’t get back in? Having a party-member disconnect during the last third of the run, log back in, go to the gate, try to enter, and then EVERYBODY IN THE GROUP gets yanked back to LION’S ARCH. Happened twice today, first time was during part 1, second time was during part 3. This is more than frustrating.

Act 3 Scene 1:

<Just seconds ago, players defeated the second fractals boss after a 5th player suddenly abandoned the group . The party, though weary, were optimistic about their chances in the third fractal. They grab their chest and hit “ready,” to have only 3 of them teleported to the harpy area.>

Player 1 notices blacked out portrait for player 4, whose character is also missing on his screen (location reads… Lion’s Arch)…

Player 1: “Hey where’d <Insert Misspelled Character Name> go?”

Player 2: “DC prolly”

Player 1: “Grrrr, I don’t want to 3-man this, you guys think we can do it?”

Player 2: “It’s harpies, piece of cake. Last one, anyway. Not quitting now.”

Player 4: “Sorry guys, crashed out. OMW.”

5 seconds later, portrait appears (location reads… fractals of the mists)
3 seconds later, dungeon replaced with LION’S ARCH LOADING SCREEN.
20 seconds later, entire party ranting outside the fractals portal.

FIN

What gives?
