Yep. Forgot about that.
I did DC once and was able to log back in to my previous spot in Torghast. My guess at the time is that it WILL allow you to get back in if you are DCâd for a short period of time and log back in quickly.
However, note, I can only speak for what happened to me.
âPure laziness?â
There are any number of adjectives you could use to describe missing the notification, but thatâs a terrible one. If you have a nice machine, you can go from launcher to in-game very quickly. If you are logging into the last character you played, youâd simply hit enter. Much more likely that people just wouldnât notice than were too lazy to read something.
This thread is amusing. Dude wastes an hour in Torghast and suggests that maybe there should be a mechanism to save progress for people who just make a dumb mistake like we did and community just trolls in response. He didnât ask for a refund or complain about Blizzard being money grubbing fat cats like many do.
Donât understand the responses to this at all.

I feel like its a perfectly good response to be âwell, they warned you in multiple places that this is going to happen. maybe next time take some personal responsibilityâ
Instances, by their design, canât have their progress saved once everyone leaves the zone for a period of time.
They would have to break down each floor the way they do layers. Which isnât plausible.
One could even say that breaking down Torghast by layers is how they allow progress to be saved. The OP just didnât reach the save point.
Go back and find a single place in this thread where a single person didnât take personal responsibility and you might have a point. I even referred to my own carelessness and said I made a dumb mistake.
The point is that trolling responses were not really merited for a post that was made in good faith, if also, perhaps, in frustration.

Personal responsibility is more than just saying âI missed upâ. Notice how the OP isnât saying he messed up in his OP? But that someone else should do things better?
That isnât personal responsibility.
Ok.
And I am explaining that its not really plausible to have what the OP wants. And people should take more responsibility with their actions to ensure it doesnt happen again.
Iâm not familiar with the technological ins and outs of saving progress, but seems reasonable to me that someone would think that if progress can be saved when you down bosses in dungeons or raids, the same could be done for floor completion in Torghast. Again, I genuinely donât know. Maybe thatâs not the case.
Youâre making a ridiculous argument about accountability. The things that OP said and did arenât mutually exclusive. You can simultaneously say âoh crap, I missed maintenance and should remember to be more carefulâ and âhey, just in case that happens again or if something else happens that requires me to stop mid-run, itâd be nice to have a mechanism for saving progress.â
Think thatâs especially true in Twisting Corridors.

What?
You stated
Can you show me where the OP took personal responsibility?
OP didât.
That was OPâs point. OP never took responsibility for his/her actions. Only said that others should do better.
You wanted an example of a person in this thread not taking personal responsibility. I gave you one.
The OP never made that argument.
So does every single person have to add a disclaimer that theyâve done everything they can to take responsibility before they complain about something? Complaining about loot drops is okay but complaining about not having a progress save mechanism isnât? Are you the one who gets to decide whatâs okay and whatâs not?
Are you going to go to every thread where someone complains about loot drops and say they should preface their complaints with something like:
âSo I understand that Blizzard has reduced loot drops and Iâve familiarized myself with the concepts of binomial distributions and I understand that I could theoretically run something in perpetuity without getting the loot I want, but I continue to run these dungeons anyway knowing thatâs the risk.â
Go do that and Iâll take your argument seriously.

I donât pay attention to maintenance.
That sucks to lose the run.
I wonder about forum stalkers that make fun rather than having any sympathy.

Your entire response is a massive moving of goalposts.
You stated.
I showed how OP fit those requirements.
Itâs not a moving of goalposts. The way you âshowed the OP fit those requirementsâ is by pointing out that he didnât say what you wanted him to.
Said otherwise, you think his lack of making a satisfactory disclaimer about taking responsibility is evidence that he actually takes none, despite his posts being relatively brief and mild. He said he lost his run, expressed frustration about a Friday maintenance, and asked for new, helpful features.
For the record, I donât fundamentally disagree with you. Weâre idiots for starting our runs close to maintenance and I expressed as much. I just think the OPâs post didnât merit the level of mockery he received. Anyone with familiarity of the WoW forums knows what a refusal to be accountable actually looks like: âOmG BliZZard NeEds to gIvE ME aNd the OTHEr paYiNG cUStoMERs A rEFUnd lol.â
And in this case, Iâm simply pointing out that if your standard for taking personal responsibility on these forums is that people proactively acknowledge it, you already know that literally NO ONE ever meets your standards before they make a complaint.

He didnât say what you said he said.
Agreed, that place is a hell hole. A badd looking mount after suffering for 16 hrs? lol.
Agreed on the need for a pause, and also the anti-afk mobs are legit a lawsuit waiting to happen that Bliz is punishing people for even taking 5 minute breaks to stretch their legs.
I soloâd layer 8 on a 175 toon and it took 90 minutes - and I could not take a break for any reason else Iâd never have finished it. Thatâs wrong.
Then I teamed up for a run, and it was like 30 minutes and super easy. Oops, didnât realize this is cheesed by teaming and punishes solo people so very hard.

1 hour? Those are rookie numbers
You can literally break at the start of every floor. Including Skoldus and Fracture. How do people not know this still?
But you canât log off to do something else.
They should save your progress to the start of whatever floor you were on until the daily reset. That way if something happens like a power outage or wife aggro, then you can at least start fron there.
