This disconnect feature has basically disabled at least half of the content in GW from myself and my guild.

Anything that takes more than 30 minutes to complete is off the menu for me, in particular tougher things like vanquishing and elite missions. These are just not worth the hastle if you get so near yet fail coz of some lame internet glitch causing a disconnect.

Even noticed poor ABing last night due to people getting disconnects and unable to rejoin the games......... also noticed the AB zones were at least half as busy as normal.. I wonder if people are staying away now :-(

Thanks a lot all you selfish doopers for spoiling this game for the innocent majority.. may Arenanet keep you away for life from this game.

Yeah i saw quite a few people leaving when i was doing AB yesterday too. Way more than usual and many when the scores were very balanced.

I cannot help, but the only time I needed the reconnect feature it did not help me. When people drop while zoning, they are still gone for good.

Just wait till they sorted out the exploit.

Also please be a bit more realistic, you do hopefully not disconnect every odd minute. In this case even a reconnect feature would not save your butt if you were in my party.


Nobody knows how long it will take to fix this. I fear the feature is gone for quite some time. And there is already this new presearing exploit around.

Well i can barly play now , MY House lives next to a railway line, every 10-15 minutes or so a Train comes by and about 33% of the times my Internet disconnects when they do. Occassionally i might get lucky and get a few of hours without Dc and sometimes i get D/c every few minutes like today. Without the reconnect feature i cant do any missions or PvP reliably. Hope you get it sorted Soon Anet.

Been disconnected too many times today, in ToA several times, and on my way to Sanctum Cay more times than I'd like to remember. Finally just gave up trying.

This is not a good thing a few weeks from EotN release, has me hesitant to purchase and I have preordered.

Was nice when a disconnect, although they sucked, was a much rarer experience.

Got two disconnects today after investing about 30 minutes into quests. I played in the days of no reconnects. The reconnects were one of the best things they did for GW. I don't care if it's client side or server side, the results are the same. I will be taking some time off GW until this feature is restored. Hopefully that will be soon. I know the GW team is working hard on the problem, with the release of GWEN coming up quickly things like this don't help their image.

And thanks to all you dupers who royally screwed a lot of honest players. May you rot in the hell of being eternally banned from all online games.

Well, that answers a lot of questions for me.. Been playing a lot and not reading much at all... I was wondering what was going on with the reconnects. Looks like the scammers have invaded yet another feature the rest of us see as a saving grace. A big fat thanks to all the idiots who used this for the advantage of the few to the detriment of the masses...

This is disgusting. My alliance gets massive lag spikes at least 5 times a day, and me and some other guy always seem to crash at the very same moment. It's not my internet. It's not his internet. He's in Canada, I'm in the US.

I don't think anyone's going to buy EotN - adventure for ten minutes, just to disconnect every time.

I don't care about the dupe glitch, you are screwing over thousands more people just to stop about fifty.

To all you people who say "get over it" "get better internet" give it a rest. You're just making fools out of yourselves.

Wait..What? reconnect got disabled? dupers? I didn't hear anything about this, was that what the stealth update I got the other day was about? disabling reconnect, I wondered why there was nothing on the update page.

Well that sucks, and cheers ANet for informing the players about it, I've checked guildwars.com every other day for the past few weeks (hoping for more info about GWEN) and not seen one mention of the reconnect feature being disabled. Would seriously have been angry if I got dc'ed to find it wasn't there any more without any prior warning. Let me guess they stuck it on some talk page somewhere buried in their wiki.. sigh...

Its really frustrating...we've been doing the Deep a lot lately, when suddenly partway in, usually when we're more than halfway through, about 8 or 9 people lagfreeze, and BAM, two tanks and a monk disconnect, and the run is for nothing. In most cases, it's not an internet thing, because the lag is happening to more than one person at a time. I'm tired of the failed Deep runs, and the failed missions. I'm trying to be patient because I know that fixing the bug with the reconnect is important, but it's really frustrating getting so far in a mission or farm and finding that it is for nothing.
