Crashes -> maps gone

Anyone else having troubles with opening maps and being stuck in the loading screen?
I returned after re-logging and lost like 3 maps today.

Last one was the worst.

That really sucks......

Did you have Deadly Rivalry prophecy? I know I've crashed on loading and lost the map every time so far and I'm not the only one. Seal them for later, hopefully they fix it some day.

welcome to the club, just lost another map to disconnect during loading screen, happens randomly, could be related to prophecy, since i always run with full prophecy circle.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.
Actually I had Deadly Rivalry V, now that u mention it

I am the only one that don't lose map even when I dc? I just log back in an the portals are still there.

You're not the only one. It depends on what kind of disconnect it is. Lost maps happen on server crashes, and in those cases you just get disconnected out of the blue. If the connection between you and the server goes out, you only lose the portal you used to enter (because you'll reconnect outside the map). Connectivity problems are characterized by the client freezing for several seconds before returning you to the login screen with a disconnect message. These symptoms are not 100% accurate but they're useful as a first guess.

It's entirely plausible that a particular prophecy chain triggers a bug on the server and causes it to crash.

You ARE actually getting DC'd, when you log back in you've lost a portal but the instance is fine, if you come back in and all portals are lost or they are there but disappear when interacted with then it's an instance crash, and that's cause by many things interacting some of them badly that crash the program governing the instance.

Some people have linked it to a prophecy, it could be that, in full or partially or it could be something else unfortunately these can be had to track down, since they are often just reported as "sever suck"

They do fix them when they find them though, check the patch notes and you'll see plenty of fixed instance crash parts

At last, now this I understand thank you. I can see my problems are due to connectivity rather than server crashes. So far the most success I've had has been using a server early in the morning their time, say 3am. That helps me stay connected even though my lat spikes because of vastly increased distance.
Now I am pretty sure that it has to do with Deadly Rivalry Prophecy.
Got it from Navali and went to Lunaris for some other prophecy.
It triggered, PoE crashed and i lost the prophecy again.

Check out ur prophecies and ur instances!

I hear they have started up the infamous Random Map Crashing Device from the basement, just to shake up the waters and add some excitement!
