Is the new Deep Dungeon disconnection protection working as intended?

[giant5head]

I was running solo PT when I got disconnected. I logged back in almost immediately and my character was already out of the instance. I thought that maybe I was unfortunate enough to be killed by a random mob in the 1 minute of me logging in. But then I tried going in with a party, the same thing happened. I got disconnected, logged back in and was left out of the instance while everybody else was waiting inside. They got out eventually because the teleportation couldn't be activated, and our savefile was deemed failure. Did this happen to everyone else too???

I often see dcs when doing pilgrims with randoms and they just reconnect and the run continues. Noone got kicked out so far. Dunno if it works correctly with solo runs tho

There's another thread about this, and it's not. They actually managed to make it worse.

It was reported as a bug. It does indeed seem like the measure is a disaster and actually ruins some runs even if people survive the DDoS, due to corrupting their save file.

It was already not a good enough measure, so I included some suggestions to make it better in the bug report.

It depends, the other day my queue time was so long I couldn't queue back in in time, the time it takes for your character to log off 'properly' and the server queue to start is also like 5 minutes, so I was 1000+ in queue.

Both times in the past few days it's failed.

Sadly it is as intended by their design. It is mean to help in situations where the server kicks you out, however if the game still recognizes as you being on it is not as helpful since monsters can still attack you during that time frame.

But it's removing people from the duty completely, rather than keeping them in the party and graying out their name. It's worthless when people can't get back in and the save file becomes invalid.

Yes, sadly this is the future of DDs until Square Enix fix it.
Ive sent 4 reports in game already + this topic (which they considered irrelevant/insuficient information) even tho ive even made 2 videos showing LIVE what happened and still they cant find the problem.

Now you and this person also experienced the same problem.

Can manually kick the player that gets knocked out of the instance from the DC and save the file, at least?


I don't understand why we don't just get a life system or something at this point.

I have been trying to replicate this bug since it happened to a member in my static yesterday. I have been doing this by forming a cross world party, entering PT, and turning off my network adapter. No luck so far, but here is what I have found that doesn't trigger it if anybody wants to pick up where I left off:
-Being in a cross word party with both members being on the same world and their home world while party lead
-Being in a cross word party with both members being on the same world and their home world while not party lead
-Being in a cross word party with both members being on the same world and their home world while in combat
-Being in a cross word party with both members being on different worlds and their respective home world
-Being in a cross world party while visiting a different data center

I have been doing this on PC, so that might be a factor in why I haven't been able to replicate it. It would also be very nice if SE would tell us the reason for putting a bug report thread in the insufficient information section, hearing that they have been consistently doing that with this issue is frustrating.
