Guild Wars 2

So the black screen is packet loss? Why is this happening now? So my friends and I are from different countries and we’re all experiencing it, I don’t think it’s possible that all our ISP’s suck.

We’re getting black screen disconnects in WvW, sPvP, and dungeons, just about everywhere we go. Frankly, it’s getting annoying. My friend went through all the troubleshooting process that A.net tech support wanted him to go through and it didn’t help. This wasn’t an issue for us before. I do not believe it’s on our end since every other game we play is fine. Only GW2.

I personally have played more on my borderland than EB. Why? Because it is the pride of my server. Securing your own border with or without the orb is a testament that your server actually cares for its reputation. The few times I joined the battles in EB, I felt good about the fact that my team was keeping our borderlands clean and steadily gaining points as we advanced and took over EB. Even without the orbs I will be battling to keep enemies out of my homeland.

So that’s what happened to the warrior I was chasing. I wasn’t aware that people could log out during combat in WvW. I also was chasing a mesmer who had exhausted just about all of his escape skills and poof he was gone, never saw him again. They really should fix this. As someone already suggested above, Anet should disallow logging out during combat, and if you get disconnected your body remains in the world for at least 10 – 15 seconds – time enough for your opponent to finish you off. It is not your opponent’s fault that you get disconnected and it is unfair to rob them of possible badges/loot just because your connection is unstable.
