Losing all progress on the disconnect is really unacceptable

@grayman-666 absolutely! I don’t want to see it get abused, but it seems like a no-brainer when you potentialy have put hours of work in, to give you a small window to log back onto your ship.

@grayman-666 yup. I hope they add an option to re-connect to a lost game for like 5 minutes or so. That would be nice.

That sounds fair. It’s a pretty serious issue as it stands now.

I agree. It's especially frustrating with messages in bottles.

This has been an obvious problem to me since it happened to me at launch while I was carrying a ton of chests, sadly I had something similar happen 3 times yesterday while I was carrying loot back to an outpost before giving up on the game. It's a potentially game breaking issue that needs to be addressed.

This is a perfect example of why it is a bigger issue then content or even making PvP less griefy.

If we loose ALL progress on crashes/disconnect/power outages...the other critiques and issues that need to be addressed just plain don’t mater.

Do you mean when you disconnect after finding one? 🤔

Absolutely agree, has just happened to me too. I was literally one minute away from an outpost delivering treasures i found via bottled message (that i assumed were quite worthy and spent a lot of time on to carry home safely) and boom: The game just kicked me out of the session claiming I lost connection. I relogged immediatley in the next ten seconds, but all progress is lost.

I'm already frustrated as it is, but if such thing happens again it could seriously make not want to play the game anymore.
So yeah, i too whish there was a certain time period where you could relog.

@alexiofy happened today with my son (9) playing for the first time.

But we weren’t mad since our ship pulled a Peter Pan and flew off into the sky as we slid off...then disconnected. Lol

What's even worse is u have 3 voyages get 2 done working on the last and have about 6k worth of stuff then get kicked bc they are more worried about fixing in Game s**t before actually making the game playable game is great but can hardly play bc all that happens is getting kicked from server while working on voyages or about to turn ur loot in needs to be fixed asap already people are turning away from the game bc they are working ads backwards to fix the game I mean what was all the beta and s**t for if u can fix the game before release

@grayman-666 Upvoted to agree that keeping quest persistence across sessions would be a great addition.

Thanks.

I realize that with everything else happening with the game this is probably lower priority...but my feeling still stands that with the possibility to loose HOURS of work at the drop of a connection (See what I did there??) it should be one of the top issues.

I can not agree more with you. I really love this game, even when i play alone.

Last night I was fighting for 5 hours with 3 other crews on the skull fort. When we finally ejected them and loaded all the loot on the ship ... I disconected...

Fortunately I was in a crew of friends and I was able to join the session again, after 3 or 4 attempts...

I just hope it never happens to me when I'm playing alone

I've had it happen a few times playing solo...sucks.

Last time with my nine year old son was funny since it involved our ship pulling a "Peter Pan" before booting us:

Losing all progress on the disconnect is really unacceptable. This will be the first time I’ve posted any serious critique, but honestly, why can’t we just log back into our existing session when were dropped from a server or lose connection?

It can be very frustrating to lose progress due to technical errors. Even more frustrating then being griefed or just screwing up on your own. To spend 15 minutes preparing your ship only to have a beard error pop up right as you’re pulling away from the dock is...borderline infuriating. 😞

I love the game, I’m gonna continue to support it come what may, but this is something I would really love to see a solution for ASAP.

EDIT: Please upvote and keep the conversation going so we get some Dev action!!!

Agreed! Hasn't happened to me yet but if its happening else where I suppose its just a matter of time....

@grayman-666 there is no way to exploit a reconnect system where the ship remains where you left it (sailing if it was sailing). And your character remains there too. Ready to crash or be robbed/killed by anyone who comes by while you are d/ced. Even if i d/c 10 times the server should always react the same way and just start a timer.

@WeAreLegion i made a thread about this exact problem and solution a week or so ago. 100% agree with you. Rare needs to deal with this before the next content drop. It is game breaking.

bahahahaha Im a little upset you didnt realize right away then just fell.....:( thanks for sharing though very entertaining!

@wearelegion Has been happening to me all day. I only use the looking for group but everytime I have gotten into a party either we can not connect at all or we lose connection randomly within 30mins of starting. D:

@kalimist88 Amazing video I love the reaction when you finally noticed lol.

@kaiosuke it wasnt me it was someone in a earlier post
I was just quoting it, but yes I agree when he notices I chuckled.

100% B******t. I just lost 2 and a half hours of progress. The whole entire day the servers have been s**t. Not a tweet, not a forum update nothing. I'm 41/41/44 and don't get me wrong I know there are legends but I'm putting in tons of time to get this done. To lose 2 and a half hours is unacceptable. My whole crew got an almond beard error and we lost all of our loot. I've been supporting and defending this game for the last two weeks. GET ON THE FKIN BALL

@wearelegion
Whoa whoa mate!! This game is 12+, what kind of parent are you???? Jkjk

I agree this needs to be fixed asap.

Bad bad bad bad bad bad. Rare needs to fix right away or I’m going back to PUBG.

If you are in a crew it shouldn't be that hard to reserve the crew spot for 5 or 10 minutes and let you spawn back on the ship.

I can see how it might take more work for the solo player... respawn you to the closest island to where you were with your missions still active and all onboard items still on the ship.

Ok I believe you now. It happened to me lol.

My crew rolled up and smashed another galleon on a fort sunk them in like 15 seconds. Killed all but one (who while we were sinking them happened to finish the fort) I then chased and killed him just to have the game crash right when I pick up the key. LOL was so mad I got off for the day.

Got punished by the game for being a efficient and a jerk’
