Disconnect While Crafting

[falactal]

Can we Please just get something to fix the loss on disconnect when crafting. With How "temperamental" connections to this games servers can be for people who have great internet connections. Endgame crafting is not Cheap. Even with 100s of million in gil, almost a million or more loss in mats per disconnect at no fault of your own is very annoying. I'm not talking a reclaim system for when you disconnect. But some sort of "Pause" so people can't abuses it for mats when they mess up a synth.

Keep asking, someday we have this dream come true.

I think this can be abused. How are they going to diferentiate who disconnects legit from who unplugs the router because they dont want to finish a 67% HQ craft?

this will never happen because it will open space for cheating!

because everyone who will so fail at a craft, will just plug out internet before it end.


SO JUST GET PROPER INTERNET!!!

SE cant do anything about your internet provider connection!

There's nothing wrong with my internet, my connection is just fine except for the FFXIV. SE can do plenty about the issue, programming how a bad packet is dealt with for example. A hiccup in the internet's tubes doesn't have to cause the game to be unresponsive for 20 seconds then boot you, especially when you're the only person in an instanced zone.

And this is exactly right. SE has incredibly low tolerance for dropped packets. I had incredible improvement in connectivity by returning my TCP packets on an OS level. But this is something SE could and should have handled in their server/client communication. Most MMOs do and have a much higher tolerance for dropped packets.

I'll have to try your fixes. I've lost 3 ironworks synths (pants/shoes/offhand), a lumi fiber synth, and a handful of eikon material synths since 3.3 came out. More annoying than the gil value lost is the time lost on a recipe that takes ten 2-star and 3-star synths to make the materials.

if you DC while crafting, you will back to where you were if you login within 5 mins or so?

I think what they're asking for is something that stores your crafting progress, and that will log you back into the same place where you left off. There's nothing quite as frustrating as losing a 95%+ HQ craft to a 90002 error. Being able to sign back in and get that craft back right where you left it would be the ideal situation.
