    Crafting and DC, will we ever be able to resume crafts after a 90k?

    Hey there, lately we've seen a lot of changes to the crafting system, and with patch 3.05 we got 60/2 star recipes that actually require a lot of work and effort to get done.

    Due to this fact I'd like to ask the devs if there's any plan to implement a resume feature to avoid mats loss after a DC mid-craft. I'm not asking for a guaranteed reclaim - that would be pure madness since people would abuse it everytime they get bad quality etc - but at least the possibility to resume the craft after we log back in from the state it was before the 90k.

    I mean, if I get DC'd while crafting a common item i don't mind, really, cause I know I can quickly get mats again from MB or at least farm them somehow (gathering, precrafting etc.). But if it happened during a 60/2 craft star I would get a bit mad, due to the fact that these crafts require some limited mats obtainable from weekly capped tokens after a lot of effort (farming crafts/nodes to cap scrips and then do favors for up to 11.25 hrs/week).

    Will we ever see something like this in the future?

    Personally, I'd like to see it adjusted thusly :

    After every move, your character state gets saved. This would include the exact state of your crafting. Step you are on, Condition, Progress, Quality, buffs, how much CP you have, everything - though I don't think that this can apply to FOOD buffs, because those continue to count down even when you are offline.

    Get disconnected? You're right there where you were right before the disconnect - including any and all progress made on your current craft. Failing the craft? A forced disconnect won't save you, you'll come back to a failing craft. Succeeding at the craft? Your ISP or other problem over which you have no control can't rip your mats away from you.

    This needs to get addressed.
    Everyone talks about the possiblity of getting 90k'd during a craft and I have had it happened to me on Friday. A lot of people within Idyllshire got 90k'd and so did I while I was in the middle of crafting the Boltmasters Dreadnaught.

    Needless to say I lost a vast amount of materials, over 30 hours wasted gathering and crafting for the server to hiccup on one moment and to waste all that effort.

    If the developers want to keep this system time gated AND require a lot of effort to cap off and to actually utilize the system, safeguards must be put in place to prevent stuff like this.

    Edit: It is very disappointing because I would've accepted if I failed the synth normally or failed on a reclaim. This is just a kick to ones nether region since you have absolutely no control when this can happen, IF it does.

    Sigh, I feel bad for your loss :\

    Also, I'd like to add that today and yesterday 2 servers (Phoenix - and I'm glad I was sleeping when it happened - and Tonberry) crashed for a "Server Program Issue", so this should really get addressed since we all know that a DC doesn't only happen because of our connection/ISP.

    They need to do something... especially since most of the DCs are on their side.

    Bumping, I hope this might help to get feedback from the dev team.

    Swarm them with tickets. When their CS become overwhelmed, they'll have to do something about it. Especially you, Irving - you lived through the exact reason why I haven't touched red scrip crafting yet. Definitely put in a ticket and I sincerely hope you get your mats back because that's just plain unfair.

    That is a terrible but good idea... so very tempting.

    For me, that's another issue entirely. SE can hurr durr durr all they want about casual. Dropping 30 hrs of grind inside a disconnect window (a few minutes at most) says this game will never be for casual people. More on topic, Try crafting in your Free company house if you have one. Isolate yourself from area disconnect as much as possible. Though in your case it would be a cold day in hell before I ever tried no matter what conditions.

    Would be a nice if its implemented but i dont see it become factible mostly because there is no way possible to know if it was a real disconnection and not a "faked" disconection (where you force disconnection in order to exploit the system when see the result not going to be good/perfect).
    So the only way i could see it be possible would be using some kind of special 'ticket' that on use recovers(or prevents) 100% from a next failed craft, something like reclaim but instead cp to be obtain exclusively from mog station wich will reduced a lot the way of it usage into a emergency/very special items only.
