    Please don't penalize players in Deep Dungeon due to a random disconnect.

    Its annoying, and incredibly unfair.

    I know its a old issue, but the fact remains the penalty for something beyond the player's control is still there.

    I was livid when I got to the 150+ floors with Warrior in potd, and then suddenly I'm punished for it because the internet decided it need to throw up for a second.

    =

    At least give a grace period if I happen to use a revive pomander because I'm sure I would be dead by the time I logged back in.

    Or anything please, this should not have been a thing for years.

    What makes you think SE is capable of fixing this issue? Or really want to at all?

    If it isn't going to cause outrage on 2ch or be on a MrHappy video, they don't care, period.

    There's no way for SE to determine the cause of a disconnection, so they treat them all the same way. It's very trivial to make the game log you out immediately, not all disconnections leave you standing still for a few minutes.

    It is impossible to know the cause of the disconnection on the server side, not only this game but any game.

    It's not fun. My solo run of HoH, which was going flawless and I was at a point where I was confident of getting through it, gave me a lag spike (which I'd never had before in this game actually) and then I died because it didn't register that I moved out of the cone at all. It must have been around the time that ntt issue started.

    But I don't think they can do anything about it without making the content easier. If we had multiple chances then the amount of solo clears would be far higher. If things didn't kill us, then it wouldn't be punishing enough and become too easy. It would become as easy as a dungeon where soloing it on a Warrior or Blue Mage is trivial.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    It's really frustrating. I wouldn't mind if the game would put me right where I was when I DC'd if I log back within a few minutes even at the risk of dying if there was something coming at me or if I was fighting (so that people don't abuse it to survive unsurvivable situations). A chance is better than no chance. Several times when I got DC'd I was in safe places. It does something similar now in dungeons with duty support.

    If this game "respects your time" they should be implementing a one-time checkpoint system that you either set manually or it automatically gets activated upon DC, and is erased the moment you reload. Wiping should be the only thing forcing you to start over.

    I got to floor 98 in HoH and quit trying because of this exact problem. With 200 floors PotD is just too long time-wise to even attempt. A disconnect or crash is guaranteed during a 10+ hour run.

    You DC at least once every 10 hours of game time?

    Yeah if you dc that much, the problem is on your end.

    But yeah as others have said, there's no way of identifying why the disconnect happened. So people would absolutely abuse this.
