. Would you still receive credit for completion if you were AFK? Yes. As indicated earlier, a disconnected character is treated as if you went AFK - you're still in the group, your character is still present. You'll get your completion .

Oh, and it's not a 10 minute wait. It's a 10 minute window of opportunity. If you get logged in again within 30 seconds you can be back in control of your character in that time. |

OMFG, reconnects! A party system! And of course, a chance to get more candy canes and spiked eggnog for my drunkard title!
The only big thing left people want now is a trade system.

Reconnects make me happy.

wow i am so happy now...thanks a million Anet! I do have a question though. these new candy canes, do they do the exact same thing as the old ones do or are the effects tamed down a bit like say..."removes 15% DP"? Great update btw =)

I have cases where, do to our crappy wiring, my network connection itself will go out, and i have no data transferred at all, so my question is, would that still work? If the reconnect is hosted 100% on GW servers it should, but not if there is a datum that my computer must send, as it would be incapable of doing so. So, will this help that? Or do nothing?

Yes, Virginnia, there IS a Santa Clause
Thanks A-net, for this awesome holiday present. /cheers

People, people - let's keep this to the subject of what we are getting for holiday gifts. Not what we are not getting. This thread occasionally sounds like, OK, I got the Jag and the beach house in the Bahamas, but where is the condo at Disneyworld.
ANet, congratulations on reaching another milestone with 3m accounts. Another side benefit of no-fee, all accounts are active.
And thank you very much for our holiday gifts. Especially the reconnect.
Now I can go back to Frost Gate with my monk and do the mission with a real party. Everytime I joined a party I would disconnect. Finally did it with henches, which is no fun.

great news, looking forward to it.

thanks alot, i guess I didn't get the thinking about this afk deal.
Well I'm happy this feature is being added just in time for me to deal with DoA, i just arrived there. I know alot of other players are frustrated about the disconnects, especially since they were attempting to beat DoA since its release.

I had an epiphany this morning while sitting on the crapper...I thought "I really hate err7's, what if GW had a way to let you log back in after a DC?" then I thought, "It'd have to set up so that people can't take advantage of it, like DC'ing themselves, changing skills, selling items and then hooking back up with the group...that would be bad. So maybe if it asked you right after you logged in 'Do you want to rejoin your party in xxxx?' maybe that would work...Yeha that would be cool!"
So, I logged on to GWG this morning and saw on the first page a bit about Wintersday, so I read it, and HOLY CRAP! ANet did almost exactly what I was about to post in the Sanitarium!!
Talk about Anet being tuned in to their audience, although I have to say that it was a bit creepy...again, cool idea and thanks, but Get Out Of My Head!
EDIT: I forgot to say YAH for Candy Canes (what to you have to exchange to get them again?)

But man survivors will get owned anyway b/c the first time you err=7 during combat you are dead long before you can reconnect!

@Alex : kinda sad to know
and thanks you like my idea maybe you will pass on my idea to the programmer @King Symeon: thx for your notice too

Thank you very much for the upcoming features, they will add even more ease of use to an outstanding game.
Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays.

Reconnects / Party Search are two of the BEST features you've added in a long time and a bit speechless getting them both in so soon, Thank You isn't strong enough but at a loss of better words.

Felt like adding a second THANKS, for the sake of all the times I've criticized some aspect of the game

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.
Thats what I am going to sing to all the survivors who error 7 and die due to their character being there for 10 minutes.
bamm bamm bamm
Reconnects? No more LFG? A winner is you.

The first update I've ever felt worth commenting. And my comment is ------>
BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!
My g/f is going to have a hard time topping this...

Now that is one reading of your question, the other is less flattering: "Do I have to be connected when I get disconnected?" Which I'm not even gonna bother typing a response to.

Nice updates and surely will come in handy. Now all we need is the hairstylist NPC and auction house and the most requested updates are added.
Jeremy Untouchable
yeah, this is really cool, i read the news and called all my guild buddys and told them
unienaule
I would have to say this is a great update. It would have saved quite a few Sorrow's Furnace, Underworld, and Fissure of Woe runs back in the day, since when you play for several hours at a time in UW or FOW, according to Murphy's Law of GuildWars, all your monks and minion masters will be on unstable wireless connections and get err=007.
