Guildwars was unable to complete the operation.

Please try again in a few minutes. (Code=013)

Lol, and that was an hour ago...

This is great news, finally Anet starting to move the game towards being structured and persistent. Maybe even a real community will start growing again, instead of anti social people with heroes. GW hasn't got any big changes like this for awhile. Skill balances and new land is cool but content like this only adds to the depth of the game. Now only if we can get a auction house, a deeper guild system and the ability to view our party members energy in the party window....

Masseur · Dec 13, 2006, 10:54 PM // 22:54

I posted this back on page 4 and never got an answer. It hasn't been stated specifically, so I just wanted to make sure that means that Wintersday will be celebrated in all 3 campaigns?

Tyria for sure. Probably not Factions. I dont know about Elona though.

I love the reconnects. The afk while disconnected is a little disappointing though. The other team gets a free kill which works off dp and gives you dp. In some cases this could put you at 60 dp.

Why not just have your character cannot be targeted or take dmg while disconnected? Once the player reconnectes have an in game msg alerting players and a delay of say 30 seconds before the player can move or take any action.

Plz, Anet do what you can to prevent abuse. You guys have great ideas on adding things to your game for improvements but many times its implemented very poorly.

Say you are in a GvG a team ganks your base. You go to defend it. The gank team disconnects. Wait a few seconds for the base defenders to leave then reconnect. Poof they are instantly inside your base again.

I can't wait to have reconnects I really do but I'm a little uneasy about appearing in the exact spot you were in when disconnected. You cannot have them appear at the base by default either. If I need to defend my base or save the GL I could just disconnect and reconnect again.

How are you going to tell if its disconnect by choice or a real connection problem. I could just pull the modem connection for a few seconds and force an err7.

Computers are unable to read such errors. It can't tell the difference between a genuine disconnect and someone pulling the plug. So its not possible for such a thing to be implemented.

I'm sure either way they are left in the game as "AFK" so the ganking team will be leaving themselves completely helpless if they try to disconnect in any way. At least that's how Alex Weekes describes it.

Sounds great. I wonder how the reconnect thing is going to work though. You get disconnected, and you end up in an outpost where you have the option to hit a button in a new small window and poof you reconnect? Does this mean you could change your skills before you reconnect? I guess that could be handy if a monk brought the wrong skillset, they could just disconnect, reroll their skills, then reconnect back in. Then again it can be abused too. That is assuming the reconnect feature works that way.

Same with the party formation feature. I hope it's some kind of queuing window where you just click a button to advertize your availability rather than another chat window that just chats across districts. Can you imagine how that would be abused? Traders would have a field day flooding the party formation chat with WTS's lol.

Boohoo.... I knew I shoulda sold all my candycanes when I had a chance =b

The gank team never leaves; they just stand there, defenseless.

Seriously, reading is win. This was described twenty times in this thread already.
