Losing your current Voyage and other Quests when you leave the session

  • Why do i have to lose all my maps if i leave the session?
    I can't even leave the pc for more than 10 minutes without getting kicked.
    Especially frustrating are bounty quests with multiple targets where a fight against a target with an army of skeleton as support can take up to 30 minutes or more.
    Don't get me wrong here, i'm fine with long quests just don't force me to do them in one session.

  • @enzo-bttb I think you're on to something that has not been over-discussed here in the forums. Good post.

    Here's a slightly different way that I've seen this issue: I think the trouble with the current mechanic is that it assumes the player can engage the game for as long as needed by the game, rather than how our lives allow us to engage the game. Said another way, it seems like the devs do not have a firm grasp on what a game session is for a typical person. They've designed the game with the assumption that you can spend all the time needed to complete a voyage... and I might add that the higher the level you reach in the Trading Company reputation, the longer the voyages take (so this issue will get worse with additional game play, not better).

    I'm not sure if this is what you're saying, but for me, I'd like to be able to leave the game and be able to come back to my active voyage where I left off (based on actual progress, of course).

    Thanks for posting!

  • They also said in an interview that they never want you to lose gold or progress when you die etc.
    But you can lose both on disconnect and gold on death.

    The gold part being lost is when you buy a voyage for say, 50bux. Then you dig the chest, get killed and sank, lose the chest but you got voyage complete.
    50bux gone. Down the drain with nothing to show for it.
    That's a roundabout way of losing gold on death.
    Progress being lost is as you described - maps and loot disappearing upon death or disconnect.
    I had a disconnect tonight, I'd got a grog chest from a quest and a captain's as well as some skulls and trading goods from a wreck.
    I snuck up on a guy that was diving another wreck and pilfered his marauders chest.
    Then as I made my escape, the game ctd.
    Lost all of that, and the quests that I'd started too - had two maps going.

    B****r.

  • I agree. I ran out of time last night to complete a treasure map (Started getting way too late and I have to work today) and now I left three chests buried :( Was a cornucopia. Feel sad I can't finish the map.

    There needs to be some form of persistence of our voyages. We can't all always spend 3 hours in the game!
