@genetic2407 said in Disconnect protection?:
Hey guys..
I just spent 1½ hour gathering 9 chests (I know its not much compared to how long Athena quests is), before I could hand it in, the server decided to lose connection randomly.. So ofc I lost all chests.
Why does this game not have some sort of disconnect protection. Something like "if you log back in within x minutes you spawn on a ship with the booty still on your ship"
The reason is most likely because that would encourage people to "dashboard"/alt+F4 when they get into trouble.
Only proper way to do this would be to "reserve" your connection to a server for a short period of time after leaving the game. It would prevent that problem, as your instance would still be active after you leave.
This would also have a knock-on affect on server-hopping too though, so it's probably unlikely to be implemented.
You have a little bit of protection when you play with others though, in that you can rejoin friends easily as long as they're still in the game and no-one else takes the slot.
