YAYAYAYAYAYAY wonderful news wonderful great.

Thanks specially for the reconnects - from the bottom of my heart - best pressie ever for those of us with lousy connections. Anet - you rock!!!

Pressie? I hope you're female.. if not that's quite odd..

ANYWAY... I wonder what other features anet are going to throw out at us in the update.

Disconnects (eg Code 007), PC crashing, etc all = disconnect = option to reconnect within 10 minutes.

Thanks for the correction, that's awesome news in itself as Guild Wars isn't stable at times on my comp. I do have a pretty important question though; what happens when you err7 on a load screen? The vast majority of my disconnects have occurred while sitting at 0% "Connecting..." for ~60 seconds or so. So for example when I'm loading into a GvG match and and I err7 on the load screen, will a reconnect put me be back at the guild hall or loaded into the match?

YAYYYYY!! Seeing this post a while after it hit - but this is great news. Thks so much ANET!!

BeatWolf · Dec 14, 2006, 03:45 PM // 15:45

Why not add a feature to change the appearence of current characters (face, skin colour, hair) please anet merry xmas and all the jolly stuff.

jcapulet · Dec 14, 2006, 04:02 PM // 16:02

Candy canes...yeah baby yeah!!

Oh, and kudos to Anet for the reconnect and party searches.

Finally on Reconnects!!, Congrats Anet on 3Million. Now is that 3 million individual accounts or just an addition of all GW(prop,factions,nfall) titles sold so far.

Lorekeeper · Dec 14, 2006, 04:15 PM // 16:15

*reserving judgment until it actually gets implemented*

but i must say im veeeeeeeeeeeeery excited about this news.

fingers crossed all goes ahead as planned.

and 3 million... wow

What happens when the flag carrier disconnects? Will the flag drop immediately, or does your team get a few seconds notice? Does the other team get a notice of a player's err7?

So ending the Gw.exe process would theoretically offer a reconnect for the people who don't have a crashed client, but merely a stalled one? If so, that's quite similar to how session saver works in Firefox. It won't say 'your browser crashed, here's your last state' if you close it, but does if you end the process (or it genuinely crashes).

Yay reconnects! Now guildies won't have to hear me scream an' curse on TS when I err7 with a black dye/ecto/something worth serious coin lying on the ground.
