Saving System

  • I have a little story time for all of you. Yesterday I had no school, so I wanted to get that Level 50 Gold Hoarder reputation, I became an emissary and started doing voyages. After like 3 hours I completed about 3 Vaults of The Ancients voyages and was heading to outpost to sell my hardly earned loot. On the way to outpost my power went off for a fraction of a second, and all that work was for nothing.
    Point of this thread is to suggest some kind of a saving system, maybe something like if you disconnect, but reconnect in less than 15 minutes, you will be spawned on the outpost with everything on the ship you had before you disconnected.
    If any of the game developers sees this, please respond

  • No. Absolutely no.

    This would encourage people to sign out when they're being attacked. You get save points during tall tales, but that's about it. Every other time, you're tempest tossed by the sea.

  • @filipicica there is a re-connect feature already in the game, a while now...
    If you get disconnected, the game asks you if you want to re-join...works within 10 minutes

  • @filipicica When you get disconnected by a crash or power outage, you have (don't remember but its like 5-10 minutes) to reconnect to your last session. Unfortunately if your ship was moving during that time, it may crash into something and sink or attacked and sink. There is nothing Rare can do about that.

    OK, I didn't know that. When the power went off I just layed on the bed in desperate. So there actually is a kind of thing I wanted, but I didn't know. Thank you guys

    As a point of clairification, if you disconnect due to a drop in service you boat will remain on the server for 10 minutes in the condition you left it... IE, if your sails are down you will still be moving, if you have a hole, you will still be taking on water, etc. So your boat may still sink while you are away and you may lose your progress and loot.

    But at least you have a chance to get it back. At launch, you were out of luck.
