Unlike all of these toxic cunts, I love seeing that updates are happening and look forward to it :)

I have not spent a great deal of time on the beta server. What exactly happens when you have a disconnect? I feel like it is very hard to tell based on the replies in this topic as there is a lot of disinformation floating around.

Upon disconnecting from the server while fighting monsters, do you then:

1. Have to survive 5 rounds of combat and then get booted to town?
2. Combat is paused when you disconnect and is resumed where it left off and upon logging back in?

Would be great if someone who is not called Pick, Slush or Cheeya could shed some light on this as I don’t particularly care or trust what you have to say. :baby:


The concern is that if you disconnect not due to cloudflare, but due to a blackout or your internet/router being shut down etc. and you can't instantly reconnect to the game like you're supposed to, you'll stay in the maze and take 10 hits from monsters (if there are any) before you get sent back in town. And that's a lot of damage after lvl 55+, so you'll easily end up dead.

That seems unlikely to me, hopefully this is gonna be extremely rare.

That is a lie. You can immediately reconnect at any time you have internet connectivity and resume EXACTLY where you left off, and bail to town if needed. This scenario is a red-herring to cover for "f5/close game to chicken" abuse mechanics. This scenario plays out exactly as you describe in the current and past versions. See my post about this exact thing happening to me back in September.

#2, like most of the replies lately


I am asking because it was very far from clear.

Not really sure what the issue is then? It essentially works the same way as it used to, only difference being that you are brought straight into combat instead of losing the eps? Seems like a win to me?

Hop on beta and try it out. The time it'd take to reply to every scenario in your vague question would be longer than you trying it yourself. Group? Solo? Define disconnect. Define "fighting monsters". Etc. Now combine all possible combinations = multiple answers.

Go try it out. That's why it's there.

So if you disconnect it doesn't wait for you to connect again to start being attacked?

Exactly like today under many scenarios.

If you're not playing beta, stop posting here. It's spam.

Oh my God... Then I also misunderstood this whole "thing", I'm sorry.

So what are people complaining about??? If this works as stated it isn't that bad at all..

My disconnect/reconnect was so damn fast I actually had to look at the chat log to verify that it really happened

Jupiter5's comment is a bold face lie. The weather was absolutely horrible the day the beta came out here, and I disconnected like 5 times. Only once did I die, and it was because I let myself get down to like 200 life just struggling through one last battle with tapped mana, so when I came back online I couldn't even prepare myself for the last 2 hits that struck me out lol. All of my other deaths on my beta char are from basically the same thing but no disconnect, I've just been running it hard. This is a fine upgrade indeed.

Short disconnect (like a cloudflare 1006) = reconnected in 1-2s
Outage disconnect - varies, depends when it's picked up. Worst case is you have the same idle timer as today under the same scenarios today.

The only downside is those that abused disconnect by F5 or closing their window. Under every other condition, the game will automatically reconnect you if you drop, and almost always within the 1-2s window mentioned above. There are lag spikes bigger than this at times for some people!

The complaining is because a mechanic people used to cheat has been removed. Nothing more.
