Weenus.1769 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This game has a check point system in story mode, yet you guys abandon it whenever we get disconnected, or whenever the game crashes..... We got to the end of "The Departing" quest, and we got disconnected from the server. Infuriating to connect and find out that we have to do that entire quest over again through no fault of our own. A few quests ago, we crashed on the final cutscene, had to redo the entire quest as well. Your game has a check point system written, why on earth are you not utilizing it?

TheQuickFox.3826 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Guild Wars has a Reconnect after Disconnect system, allowing players to come back to their instance session for 10 minutes after a disconnect or a client / PC crash. I wonder why GW2 never retained this feature because it was very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikigami.4013 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Aion (which was released in 2009) has the same system. When you get disconnected you will get back into that instance after reconnecting within the same 10 minute period. Progress will not only be saved, the instance will continue to work just as if you were in there, that means if you have NPC with you in the instance which are fighiting mobs with you, those NPC will continue to fight the mobs during the time you are not there.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I don't think there are any checkpoints in "The Departing" at all. Generally, the PoF story could use a lot more.The "reconnect after disconnect" system is a lot more expensive to maintain in GW2 than in GW1; I don't know if that's why ANet didn't include it for this game. (As far as I know, they haven't ever commented on it.)I'd like to see ANet use a strong rule of thumb for where to put checkpoints:Before & after major battles.Before & after major dialogue (which could/might be the same as above).Before every achievement point trigger.You shouldn't have to refight Batlthazar to try again to regain your soul; you shouldn't have to revisit your personal history in order to retart the fight.
