Because a server move isn’t character based. It’s account based. So when you move ‘a character’ to another server, you’re moving all of them.
Arenanet,
You had a wonderful system when it came to disconnects during GW1. What happened to it? I thought that when I was having the issues during Beta it would be solved by launch, but here we are months later, and the same issue occurs.
Scenario 1: Personal Story
If someone goes into their PS instance solo and disconnects, they have to start the whole instance over.
Scenario 2: Dungeons
If someone disconnects, there’s still other members ‘holding’ the instance for them, but the player is zoned out and potentially dead outside of the instance. Fortunately the enter dungeon button is there and they can quickly rejoin. So this is a much less painful scenario.
Scenario 3: Fractals
A disconnect in Fractals is a death sentence and has left me wanting to completely rage quit on numerous occasions. Most recently was the pain of being in level 10, on the Jade Sea fractal and having the Maw at 50% health when my crappy net dropped. As always, I come back into the game, in Lion’s Arch, with nothing to show for that set of fractals other than the loot from the first 3 leading up to the Jade Sea.
My Suggestion:
Just like you had in GW1, set a 15 minute ‘hold’ on instances. This will solve the issue with Personal Story quests easily and with ‘some’ added tweaking, will avoid having players be denied their progression in the Fractals.
Now I just hope that you guys are working this already and plan to patch it into the game soon.
Bannankev and dragoness,
The guild perks are server specific, to include upgrades and influence. When you transfer back to your original server, all your stuff will be there.
