Story instance disconnections

[YeetLord.5018]

I know disconnections during story missions are a common sight and they can be outrageous. I never experience them when roaming around. I just experience them regularly during story missions. I am currently stuck on the mission 'Victory or Death.' I have attempted it a total of 8 times now, and every single time I got disconnected during the cinematic right after you kill the mouth of Zhaitan. Turns out three times isn't a charm. Arena Net has implemented checkpoints before, so why haven't they implemented it in the MAIN STORY yet? Does anyone know about a (temporary) fix or workaround? Anyway I think I am going to put the story missions aside for now after nearly breaking my keyboard.

what works for me is not standing idle

i allways run around and spam 11111111 this seems to work, then just wait out dialogues/cutscenes and i'm done

the point is, when it disconnects is always during cutscenes. I usually skip all cutscenes to prevent disconnection but some cutscenes are unskippable. Like the one I previously mentioned. I watch the cutscene and then I get disconnected.

Workarounds found in the 'official' (and other) thread(s):Use a VPN that takes a different path to the problematic IP address.Minimize cutscenes.Continuously move the character or continuously use a skill.Change the 'Streaming Content' option.

You may find other workarounds in the aforementioned threads.

Good luck.

i'm well awarewhat i say is, that if i just stand there after boss kill idle, untill the cutscene/dialog pops up, then i dc at the end of the cutscene

however, if i run around and spam 111111111 untill the cutscene/dialogs pop up then i'm al goodi have the same issue in fractals, if we wait at mistlock for 1 guy too long i just dc, if i keep running i don't

which is weird, as my performance in game (minus wvw lagfest) is really good i have read many other threads about the same subject so i'm glad i'm not alone
