Repeatedly Disconnecting and losing millions of gil

[ManweSulimo]

I just lost over 2.4 million gil Disconnecting. I understand that you can't just put the mats back in peoples' inventories upon DCing otherwise people would just unplug their computers if they mess something up and RNG doesn't go their way and they want to try it over again. However this problem is a huge waste of gil (time) when it happens and I find it utterly frustrating and unacceptable.

Is there a way to make it so that the craft is resumed upon reconnecting?

Crafting state/statuses should be preserved upon disconnect/queue-entrance.

Everything pertaining to you should be suspended.

I hate having not to craft anything beyond quick-synth's simply because I want to queue as a DPS for something. Or that I feel forced to play on the Job I queued up as when I want to go into outer-world combat.

So many times, a queue is dropped forcibly because I can't switch back to the correct Job in time (areas like Natalan/Sapsa make it near impossible to leave combat in time).

Queue acceptance time *really* does need to go up to 60 seconds while we're at it. I was so sad when they said they wouldn't increase the time.

A lot of rigs can't even load larger maps in 45 seconds... I've had queues cancel because a loading screen wouldn't end in time.

Makes me afraid to even zone during a queue.

Oh, and while I'm on this rant...

It frustrates me so much that I'm unable to mine when a dungeon pops.

If you're in the middle of mining a node, you have to stop entirely even.

There's too many things in this game that inhibit you from acting or doing what you wanna do...

Can't queue FL with friends unless they're in the same GC; can't glamour tanky looking gear on a mage but a tank can glamour on magey looking gear; can't have a house if there are no vacant lots; can't garden if others are using the plots; can't use your Chocobo during a queue.

SE, please, if you read this: change your policy to "more freedom, more fun".

Yoshi P, I know this' your baby & I respect that, but I think you could adopt a little more of a "just say yes to fun" policy!

And I mean zero disrespect, I have all the love for you & this game. Also, all the wonderful work the staff & GM's have put in!

Most of your rant I agreed with but this one... wha? The most complicated node in the game STILL only has six swings to it - seven if you use the add-a-swing ability. It's hard to conceive of a situation where this is going to take longer than twelve seconds or so, even if your confirmation window pops just as you touch the node. That leaves ample time to finish up, change jobs, and accept.

No, the only way you're going to have trouble finishing a node is if you consciously chose to begin that node after thirty seconds or so have already passed on the confirmation window. If you've done that, you have no one to blame but yourself!

Having the window up doesn't prevent you from mining/harvesting. Even before the "Wait" option was added, you could just focus off of the confirmation window in order to continue.

Guess the issue is more like "Cannot execute action while Duty Finder ... (forgot text XD)" like you cannot send retainers out sell stuff or something alike once the DF finally poped.

It does. That's why I brought it up . Try it for yourself, you aren't able to begin or complete a node once the window pops.

Lol this happened to me once, low level roulette as a dps, Tp to mor dhona to check price on gear, dungeon pops during loading screen. Withdraws, still loading screen.

Maybe someone who's reading this could help me out.

The game was so fast for me until they added the patch with hunts (2.3?) and since then I have 1-2 min loading screen wherever I go.
Anyone know what the problem is?

This.

If our chocobo timer can be saved from when we d/c /logout why not an inprogress craft?

I felt the pain just yesterday when i was having a difficult time with RNG while shooting for Lucis tool. Then just when i get an orange orb at the right time i d/c twice and another random d/c. As if missing out on a golden opporunity wasnt bad enough, i lose all those mats as well.

What if it were 6 Ehcatil Sealants 3 times in a row? Hurts.

That's exactly what it was and 1 mastercraft demimateria each time as well...

-.-;

[ManweSulimo]

Yes. Can this be done? We need huge support for this thread maybe they will hear our voices

Bumping because while I haven't had this issue I can see how much a feature/system is needed to prevent disconnects from ruining an in progress craft session. I'm not even anything more than a "sometimes" crafter, but this is definitely a good idea and well needed.
