Guild Wars 2

…just wanted to say that I have this exact same problem as mentioned by OP.

It is ONLY happening to my 5th character and none of the others:

- the game often just hangs on the map loading screen with ambient sound playing (so far, this happened with the Divinity’s Reach, Queensdale and Lion’s Arch maps but the char is only lv 30)
- I can only close the game from there through the taskmanager or by waiting for a timeout and lost connection message
- When I do manage to get into the map, there can be severe rubber-banding of my own character and others on the screen with actions delayed up to 30 seconds and if in combat often all attack buttons flashing wildly but not much happening on the screen (sometimes I can play without problems for a couple of hours but it is consistently and only happening with this one character)
- The connection would just crash randomly and I get back to the login screen
- Broadband speedtests show no problems
- Relogging with any of the other 4 characters makes it play just fine (same maps / areas) and switching back to the 5th one brings up the problems again, so it must be something connected to a specific character getting “corrupted”.

This definitely seems to be a unsolved issue with the game or the servers. (All my characters are only 1-3 months old)
