BenaSPACE.6028 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Recently while attempting to do the dragon's end meta (You know, the one that takes forever to do, and if you can't get into an instance for it, even if you were already in it, you're basically suck out of luck?) Game crashed during soo-won, and when I logged in, it put me in an empty instance. Completely unacceptable. This game needs to HOLD MY SPOT until I get back. If I'm gone for a time like, 15 minutes, that's fine. Drop it, then. but I was gone for 2 minutes, tops. All of that hard work gone. Rewarded with nothing.

Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 seconding. I've gotten some random crashes exactly when doing meta events and it sucks. 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 The game doesn't know if you're coming back and it would lock out other players from joining without having a "topped up" instance. 15 minutes is ridiculously long in this context. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs somekinda short window. GW2 is one of the fastest launching MMOs on the market (on an SSD) and crashes~ or even more annoying; the random instakicks to character selection for no reason at all, generally leave you outa game only for like 5-20 seconds. You shouldn't be hard-punished for such a short disconnect. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Sure, nothing against a short window. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the game should assume the best situation for the player. If they haven't specifically selected logging out, it should assume they'll be back. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much never "log out" when I stop playing nor do I use the option to "exit to desktop", so false. Any time I'm in an instance with active meta -and maybe in any way contribute to any of its events, even if that would be an additional requirement- and stop playing, the map would have 1 player less for probably rest of the meta. Then add other players who do the same. That's simply a bad idea and nothing about "15 minutes to come back" is reasonable here.

Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 5 minutes is more than enough. If you can't return in that time, you may as well not return at all. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatihso.7258 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) I’m pretty sure there is a grace period to join same map IP when you dc/crash. However, if you take long, it will time out.

Daniyyel.3428 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) 2 minutes would be fine, 15 min is a silly amount of time to expect or ask for. Most boss fights are less than 15 min. Edited October 15, 2023 by Daniyyel.3428 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomcryer.3650 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Can't you just click on a squad member and press "Join in Dragons End"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most boss fights are less than 15 min. Agree 2 minutes would do. Also would like this applied to WvW for the dreaded can't connect to the login server errors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the map hasn't filled your spot which it likely has and if the group isn't full which it likely is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Correon.2053 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Fast loading? Is that why logging in Wizards Tower, Arborstone, Amnoon and many other expansion maps takes over a minute on SSD? Not to mention loading on maps that are topped up for metas .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s likely another variable there. My SSD takes maybe 10 secs on populated maps and my pc is a few years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
