Hard Disconnection - Long Wait to Log In

[feint2021]

I'm not sure if this has been answered already as I didn't notice any devs responding to the technical support section. Since beta I've noticed that when ever I'm d/ced due to my router or modem taking a crap it takes about 10-15 minutes to log back in the game. When I'm d/ced due to my connection being slowed I'm able to log back in quickly. This can be very frustrating when it happens in the middle of a group leve run. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yup, and it's cost me more than a fair share of leves with my linkshell mates as a result of it. Just once I'd like to be able to kill stuff and not d/c.

This is unfortunate but I fear it may be needed. While you DC your character remains in the world. Otherwise you'll probably get "OMG IM GUNNA DIE *unplugs connection and back in again then logs in* OH YAY MY MOB IS STILL THERE AND I'M STILL ALIVE" people.

[feint2021]

It only takes about 1 minute or less to die.

[MattyWS]

Not for a full party >.>

Also, when you're in a 60 minute instance and can't log in for 15 minutes. It's going to frustrate some players more so than leves.

I doubt anyone does that as it takes longer to unplug your modem than logging out normally :P

They should just allow reconnects from a different IP.

Odd, when I get a d/c or a Windows error, I never stay kicked out for more than a min or two. Maybe I'm just lucky?

I don't recall anything particularly specific being said about fixing this issue. However, it's not that hard of a problem to solve. All they have to do is this, and everything should be fine:

I like your idea.

And Shikaree I'm talking about when the connection completely cuts out. When I d/c from a poor connection I can log back in normally.
