The item Nuhoch Warbler given from the story quest In Their Footsteps is breaking the game, it causes the entire map to reset, DCing everyone, rolling back all progress, resetting all events and world bosses. It works on every PvE map in the game.
Yeah, in Divinity's Reach on the server I'm connected, there is someone who is able to disconnect the whole map by using the Nuhoch Warbler. They've stopped using it now that they know it is causing the server to DC everyone but they definitely made a very convincing argument that they caused the DC.
The Warbler has become too powerful. We can't allow it to keep warbling maps out of existence, so we're disabling it (and some other stuff) for a bit while we figure out what sort of Halloween shenanigans are happening here.

I still had several disconnects 17 minutes after this message, so you have to look better

you forgot to disable tactivators on the borderlands. Whenever someone starts threating an objective, BOOM map crash. Seriously ANET.

Maybe related to WvW crashes ? Or is that a completely different crash inducer ? Cause it looks like using any tactic in WvW causes a crash
That's part of what we're looking into. I'm sorry it's still causing problems , but everyone is working on it as quickly as they can.

Can you inform your support department about this? Just so that they stop responding with standard replies to support tickets?
In Siren's Landing upon killing a Ley-Infused Scavenger, picking up the orb causes a map wide DC as well. Im assuming theres several other items/environmental triggers that cause these DCs

Boo!!! But some of us will forgive the team if you peeps make is so the Warbler is usable on the move!

Just deactivate the nuhoch warbler and the wvw banners!!! DEACTIVATE them!
It's more than those I'm afraid, when I was on WvW, it wasn't banner that crashed me, but teleporting to the EWP. So clearly more than one tactic type is affected there.

Fantastic quality control, right there.

Does this mean that early HoT story progress will be blocked for alts that select helping Tizlak instead of defending the village? I don't remember any more if the frog scouts will talk to you without a warbler toot.

Could you maybe just remove it after completing the quest and add it as a novelty item to accounts? It's one of various items that you need to Wiki to find out it has no use besides as a minor easter egg-like item on In Their Footsteps later in the HoT story. Essentially it's just a shiny exotic-coloured junk item (...which has the power to crash maps).

People also abusing this to force rollback after selling items on TP so they get them back.
