Request: Please tone down PoTD Solo 181+. My experience and partial rant.

You didn't mentioned the biggest challenge: your multihour progress is reset after disconnect, even if it's from their side.

Also I like how they wiped my #1 datacenter records for some jobs after I've switched server. There's zero reason why they do that. It shouldn't matter on what server within the same datacenter I'm attempting solo.

Agreed on one of the biggest challenges. Not everyone has a perfect internet, I know I don't, so if yours craps out, RIP run. SE servers aren't always perfect (here's looking at you, DDoS), so if some group randomly decides its time to do some attack, RIP run.

I understand the difficulty in implementing some safeguard measure that would allow us the chance to not lose 10+ hrs of progress because of one disconnect, since it could be abused, but I feel like there has to be some type of compromise. People play content, presumably, because they have fun doing it. If someone gets burned investing 15hrs on a PoTD Solo Run just to disconnect, I don't blame them for never retrying solo again. I mean, you score doesn't even get recorded for rankings, even if it would have been high enough to show up.

I find it personally worse when you disconnect in some area where you were completely safe from enemies, or you had Raising on. Like, if the game just put be back in where I disconnected, I wouldn't have wiped to where I saw the score screen.
