The advice to join a party/squad doesn't help since public usually has a queue of people trying to instance swap, if you crash you're immediately replaced. The instance also locks after a certain point, like Dragon's Stand (that one's a real rage inducing one to crash during.) I haven't had issues with Convergences specifically, but it would be nice if more events like that would give players a couple minutes grace period to reconnect to their last instance. EoD seemed to do that?

I've completed the story up through "The War Council" and couldn't understand half of Peitha or Ramses' spoken dialogue, had to read the text log to get anything out of that conversation. With the effects on their voices, their overall perceived volume is much lower than Galrath and the player character. Hearing Peitha has been a struggle throughout SotO, but things felt particularly bad there. I could crank up the volume, but then all the non-Kryptis characters would be yelling in my headphones. Audio needs some adjustment for balance so we can appreciate the actors' performances.

You can always use a waypoint to return to a map, if all else fails. Just won't be in exactly the same place you came from. "You do not have access to this map" usually means the particular map instance you came from closed after you left, I think. Being sent back to the same one can be useful, but it's a bit annoying it doesn't just dump you into the new IP when the old one is unavailable. I have to remember to return my parked characters to where they were after using a lounge before logging them out, or they can't go back sometimes. If you have access to a guild hall, you can try going to that and then leave via the guild panel. Will likely put you back at Lily since it's within a map, with other lounges I think you'd go back to where you were prior to the lounge. It's slightly confusing. Haven't tested if that'd avoid the locked instance and dump you in a new map instance or not.

Consumables that give CC were specifically targeted because parties for the then new Sunqua Peak CM started requiring them, to deal with the large CC checks in the encounter without sacrificing DPS skill slots. Most other consumables weren't changed. The gunk only has a chance of rolling CC, probably why it was one of the last CC consumables not disabled in Fractals.

As second poster said, it's usually a connectivity issue. I do plenty of quick swapping and I've only had that happen when my ISP needed to repair equipment on their end, or rarely after a client/server crash. If it happens on a regular basis, you may need to test your internet connection for things like packet loss and buffer bloat. Those won't necessarily kick you out of the game like a full disconnect would, but they can cause a lot of problems with it, and aren't particularly noticeable with most non-gaming internet use.

The cogs and some jump pads in that puzzle have felt cursed since its release, also overly sensitive to internet connection and frame rate. The only other things in the game with similarly erratic behavior are the flower launchers and prototype bouncing mushrooms in SAB. Any other puzzle in the game is easier, in a sense. Chalice of Tears? Clock Tower, de-synced instance? Got it. This puzzle? I gave up on ever finishing it legitimately. It's frustrating when most of the challenge is just whether or not it works on your machine, and the lack of checkpoints you don't create yourself.

They've changed all festival races to work this way, used to be you could double up some of them for laps too but hasn't worked for at least the past year.

Just what the title says- Kryptis rift events outside of SotO maps never seem to give credit for the "Participate in 1 Kryptis Rift Event" daily. Timberline Falls is the only one that's ever worked for me. Please remove maps that don't work from the rift list or fix this, it's been like this for weeks. Kinda tired of wasted time on these.

The vault's display has been buggy and frequently doesn't deduct all spent AA until you close and reopen the window, when that happens it confusingly gives the "sold out" error message. Maybe check to see if that's what happened.

I didn't have that problem when I did Nevermore. Also, I've done DS on two accounts this week, one was mounted during end cutscene, one not, neither got credit for weekly, both got normal meta credit.

I just commanded a map and got no credit towards the weekly. Had full credit for the meta itself and looted the end chest. Map chat was full of people angry they also got no credit.

You're right, wall repairs used to give defense credit, but that was removed in the last WvW update. Now it's... a mystery.

I saw a group of them appear by Derelict Ruins POI in Skywatch, they have a small amount of dialogue and then disappear into a ruins wall. Fun to see them again.

I was fine pretending it didn't exist until it became required for some of the dailies rolls. Numerous people are just asking for this event type to be removed from the WvW pool until it can be addressed.

Maybe it's a bug then, but for me it was only giving the notification that dailies had refreshed and not for completed tasks.
