    Bad design: In PotD if you die on the boss fight and are inactive for 10mins

    Apparently in PotD you can get kicked from the duty in a boss fight. I was helping my friend in the upper floors of PotD explaining what buttons to push and not looking at my screen. I was kicked out more than mid-way into the battle on the second raise.

    It's not that it's hard to get there, it just takes like how many hours to get up to floor 180? We forgot RDM didn't have raise at that level so it was a careless mistake. Rule of thumb is try not to take a few days break in between potd sessions. :P But to be kicked and unable to resume after the fight is won is pretty bad

    Is there a way to continue despite being kicked? I'm pretty sure there isn't. This could also be really bad when servers get congested and you can't log back in on time. >.<

    If you move the camera and / or use the ingame chat the game should not kick you, even if you are dead? When you press some buttons the game should not kick you for inactivity?

    The only way out of this situation would be that the remaining person defeats the boss and then shuts off the game without leaving through the exit and then waits for the game to kick his character out of the game.

    As far as I know this doesn't count as a wipe since he defeated the boss and cleared the 10 floors, but the progress isn't saved until you leave through the exit. When you log back in you should be able to start together again from floor 170 in your case (of course it's too late for that now).
