Guild Wars 2

I am getting de ja vu here…

Again in what I assume is the final story instance of this latest episode, I get disconnected consistently after the cinematic cutscene. No ping problems (~40-50 today), my internet connection is stable – I am using ethernet, tried WiFi but no difference (40-50Mbps down, ~5Mbps up). I had the same problem in the final instances of Ep3 and Ep4 as well. However I don’t get DC’d in other story instances or in my home instance. e.g. I stayed in SAB instances for hours without any disconnection issues.

I have done this new instance five times already and always get DC’d in the same place, right as the cutscene is finishing. Since I had this problem with the last 2 episodes I have tried lowering graphics settings, port forwarding 6112, -clientport80, reinstalling the game, disabled firewall, shut down every background process I can find… For Confessor’s End it worked one time after weeks of trying. If anyone has any other ideas please let me know. I’m going to keep trying for now I guess. I just wish the devs would add more checkpoints!

OK, I finally fixed this! I tried again this morning and got another DC. But since I was feeling pretty determined today I set up port forwarding for GW2 (port 6112) and I also set my graphics to best performance (normally I leave them on best quality for open world/story stuff). And I got to the end! Not sure which of these fixed it or if it was just a coincidence, but if anyone has similar problems it could be worth trying.

Thank you for the update and congrats! Maybe it’s just random chance, did you do anything different? Just tried again but it still DC’d for me. To be honest I’ve kind of given up on this game for now, so sick of playing this mission over and over again… Might try again in a few weeks or something.

You’re right, I couldn’t find a suitable category either. I ended up reporting it under cinematics, since there is a cinematic that plays but I don’t know if it’s causing the problem.

I have tried many times to get through this story mission, but I keep getting disconnected after the boss fight. This doesn’t happen to me in any other part of the game and it consistently happens at almost the same time every time I try, plus I don’t have any problem with my internet connection dropping. I experienced the same bug during the last boss fight of the previous chapter and that was fixed after a patch. Does anyone know another way to fix this? I’m getting pretty tired of fighting this guy over and over again! Would be really nice to have a checkpoint during this mission.

I also one time managed to get both “the order way” and “the vigil way” at the same time during the first part of the mission, not sure that is supposed to happen! I just ran through the room without trying to avoid them, maybe one spotted me right when I reached the door or something.

Yes it just worked for me as well, thank you for the update!

I am having this issue as well, I have tried several times now, but I can’t progress the story. Keeps “disconnecting” (but no internet trouble on my end) during the dialogue after the boss/during cutscene and I get kicked to the character select screen and have to start the instance again.

Wow, that site even lists the cost to buy the materials and everything! Thank you for the link

Thank you very much for your quick and thorough reply! This is great, I’ll be harvesting materials this evening then to prepare! Didnt want to waste time and effort only to find there was some other requirement.

Hello,

I’m planning on crafting an ascended weapon for my necromancer who is level 80. He does not have high enough crafting though (only about 200 artificer I think from playing around).

I plan to create an ascended greatsword for him for when I finally unlock all the reaper specialisation abilities. But since I am levelling an elementalist right now as well I thought I could level up to 500 weapon smithing on the ele at the same time as raising his character level.

So my question is, will I run into problems doing this? Are there any requirements for levelling past 400 weaponsmithing that I would need my ele to be lvl 80? Does he need to reach 400 in all disciplines or anything like that first? Are the crafted weapons soulbound? Or anything else I haven’t thought of… I know it will cost quite a lot but I’ll scrounge it from somewhere!

Thank you!
