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!

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

[Ecks007]

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.

[ruskie]

I agree on this.

[StrejdaTom]

Yeah definitely. I DCed during crafting twice today, fortunately I don't craft anything valuable.

[Snootles]

It has happened to me, yet. Keyword being, yet.

But I would flip my lid if I lost all my crafting materials. Especially thinking of the materials needed like mastercraft materia and what not. So I fully support this. There has to be a better way.

[Vazara]

I fully support this. While I don't craft anything super super valuable, I have dc'd mid synth before and it is super annoying to lose materials. I also agree that the wait time for accepting a queue should be extended. Had to cancel a synth using HQ mats because I wouldn't have had enough time to finish it. I also know friends who play other jobs while waiting in queue and then cant change ASAP if under attack in beastmen tribe areas.

[HulveinBlitz]

Didn't they already say no, because of the loopholes?

I agree with the queue stuff, but they won't adjust on it.. unless they can find a way to ensure its not abusable.

[Neuflune]

I agree but I think they'd have to find a good work-around for this... it's easily abusable as you said.

In the mean time, whenever I craft something valuable, I go to my private room in the FC house and lock it. That prevents any animation from causing trouble. I also ignore chats, clear it and/or switch to the battle log. I check that my router is stable. I know I can only do so much and if the Flying Spaghetti Monster decides to drop a 9000 on me, there's nothing that I can do but cry. Still, it'd help to be cautious until something can be done about it.
