Guild Wars 2

So I recently started the Heart of Thorns story for my second character after finishing up with my main. Everything’s going well until I get to the itzel village part of the story and die (dodgerolled off the platform, funny in retrospect). So I hit the “retry from checkpoint” button like you’re supposed to when, seconds after my character stands up, my connection is lost, meaning that when I reconnect I have to do the instance over entirely. Wasn’t a fan of that the first time, and certainly wasn’t the next twenty odd times it happened afterwards. Eventually I managed to get past the itzel chapter, only for the process to repeat itself in the next one.

It’s not an issue with my computer, as this doesn’t happen to me in any other part of the game for any other character. Nor is it the wifi, as Ive attempted this on four seperate wifi networks with the same results.

It’s really sucking the fun out of the game for me. I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue, and if so, were they able to do anything about it? I want to get through the story with this character but I’m not willing to sink in the amount of time it’ll take to get through this bug.

At the risk of sounding repetitive, I’m getting the same kind of issues. First the network randomly disconnected in the middle of a personal story instance, then again during a loading screen. Now the game cant get past the character selection on most tries without shutting down, and those that do are so laggy that the game becomes effectively unplayable. I’ve checked both my router and computer up and down for issues and couldn’t find any, so this ones on ANet. I don’t know what went down with the most recent build but someone certainly stepped in it.
