I've played GW2 on and off (largely off I admit) since sometime around the end of LW1, previously on an old account I no longer have access to and again much more recently on my new account (around end of LW3 on and off), in all that time I never had an issue with any disconnections either storyline or otherwise, perhaps the odd one here and there but you expect that to be the case from time to time. Most recently I've started playing again a couple of weeks ago and I decided to finally give in playing my paper thin Ele and start the story again as a new, more tanky build/character for a better time with solo play in HoT and beyond. Since starting this new character, however, I have had multiple story instances disconnect multiple times, always longer instances! I am currently stuck on the Romke's Map quest and have been literally all day! The clientport workarounds + running and around and using skills during dialogue scenes has helped me get past the spirits of the wild where it kept disconnecting at first, but now it simply won't make it past the last unskippable cutscene. Nothing I have tried from this thread works, fullscreen or windowed seems to do nothing, neither clientport has an affect and I am singularly upset and frustrated. I am having alot more fun playing as my Necromancer (Scourge build in progress) than I did as my Ele where everything felt like a struggle, but now I am stuck and not only am I stuck I am being floored by an issue I have never had any problem with through multiple laptops, ISP's and geographical locations, including this laptop in my previous home, even worse I find out this is a long running issue that has never been fixed with workarounds that are hit and miss in terms of working.
