This has been happening to me for the past three or four days now. I bought GW2 during the trial-period weekend and had absolutely NO issues until the past few days. Now it’s pointless for me to bother doing WvW with my guildies because I get disconnecting within 20 min to an hour at the very most while playing. No matter what I’m doing, I will get disconnected, every single internet-related program will disconnect, including every other DEVICE that’s connected to my network.
My wife will be playing with me, or she’ll be surfing the web on her iPad, and all of a sudden Guild Wars 2 disconnects and the internet goes down for at least 30 seconds or so. The odd time I’ve had issues where the internet will get so bad that the entire network will go down for a few hours. All of a sudden it’ll be back up (resetting the router/modem and computers does NOT fix this outage) and I will be able to log back into the game no problem. This is until I get disconnected 30 minutes later.
I absolutely love this game… but I have never in my life been so incredibly disappointed in the networking issues from an online game. Especially considering the fact that this game is online ONLY, it poses that much more of an issue. I really am getting close to the point where I just want my money refunded… I didn’t pay $59.99 for a game that destroys my enjoyment of the game I’ve purchased, but also destroy my entire FAMILY’S enjoyment of our internet in the process.
