Biggest game destroyer.

Why the hell does DC'ing make you fail levequests? I just dc'd right at the start of initiating a levequest twice. I just lost 2 leves. Thats like almost 10k worth of exp and 2k worth of guild marks, and a few k gil.

So why does DC'ing make you fail? I'm not complaining about the dc'ing, that's another matter. There is no reason why a levequest can't be stored when you DC. It's such a waste and a massive downer. I don't feel like playing now, 20 minutes into the game and 2 dc's, losing 2 levequests, what a waste of my time. >.>

I'll admit this is partly ranting but I'm curious, maybe a dev can answer my questions.

failing a leve quest does store it, but you have to wait til the next reset to do it. make sure you don trade it in on accident. As soon as the reset happens you can repeat the leve. It will have the same reward so you wont lose the marks. my guess is it is an auto fail so that people dont unplug thier modem just to keep doing the leve over for sp.

It actually reduces the reward every time you fail.... soo I agree with the 1st post.. my lancer marks went from 2100 (after i traded in 8 leves) to 998 (4 days later when I finally stopped crashing in grinadia)... goddamn that forest of lag, I haven't crashed in a few days but it's still annoying as shit to see the water-ripples and then my pc crashes... or the background effects jus fail (usually by the water) and then my pc crashes... I think it could be a compatibility issue wit my GPU but if they just lets say: had a 10minute HOLD timer for people that disconnect during a levequest it'd fix all problems... but they're too fckin dumb so it probably wont happen... after all, it's taken this long and the game is STILL half-assed.

SE is better off not making it EVER pay to play, and just pray that they sell enough copies.. or when they make it paytoplay, they should reduce the price to something like $5 a month... otherwise I'm gone, too much BS and it's really just a huge waste of time even for diehard fans that STAY hoping it'll get better with every miniscule patch...
