I know I should probably post this in technical difficulties but I'd like to see if anyone else is having this problem as well, or if there is some workaround.
Sometimes when I try to login I will get to the character selection screen and I'll select my character and he'll be walking and I'll get the "Heading into town..." message at the bottom of the screen but nothing will happen after that. If I leave it there it'll just disconnect me after about 5 minutes or so.
The other problem will happen seemingly whenever I try to join a different instance than the one I'm currently in. This may be a party or a different Haven instance. The screen will just turn black and after talking to one of my friends I found out that if this happens while joining a party I will actually show up in the party but I'll never "load" my weapons and everything. And all I see on my end is a black screen.
Now I've been having this happen ever since I started playing the game, but it seems to be happening more frequently the past few days. Like, I've been trying to login for the last 2 hours or so but I haven't been able to. I actually did get in once but then I tried to join a party and what happens? Black screen. I'm back at square one.
Also if any of these seems to happen I'll have to wait 5 minutes MINIMUM before I'll even be able to access the character selection screen again.
Well, I know that you are connecting to new servers when you enter a new instance from having to whitelist them on my firewall so it's probably some sort of issue with that.
Although, if the connection is just getting dropped then it should send you straight to the login screen. Either way, sounds like you're failing to connect to or communicate with these servers for some reason.
