Was on silverpine beach area with my hardcore druid, Server dc’s me then i try logging back in, only to be put into a server que, then when i do get back on, im dead.
i spent weeks on my healer taking it slow and to die because server dc’d nothing to do with me and they wont resurrect him is not right…i have more than one account but wont if they done make this right,they have the power to correct the issue and should.
They wont do anything cause they don’t care enough to. If they do then I will change my opinion. (Lost a 53 priest due to DC in Maraudon)
They won’t do anything because you agreed in the character creation contract that your character is GONE if it dies for ANY REASON, including but not limited to disconnects and server outages.
If they res a single person for any reason, they will be ABSOLUTELY FLOODED with thousands of res requests per day for every reason.
You accepted these terms when you clicked OK on the contract window.
You’re rigth, but as I said in another thread on this subject:
I am unsure what kind of meaningful DC protection mechanics could be implemented that couldn’t also be abused to cheat death.
It’s extremely easy to fake a disconnect, just hit alt+f4 when things look bad.
I find it hard to imagine how this would not be abused.
I think they were into something with leaving your character stay in the world for less than the 20 secs it is now, but not down to 0 secs. I do not know why it was never implemented.
Yes, it can be abused, but then anything can.
In a hopeless jam nothing would help short of TPing alll DCing toons to their HS location - which would be a floodgate to abuse.
EDIT what happened to the “Abusus non tollit usum”-thing … meaning that you should not stop implementing a good thing beccause it could be misused, still leaving 1000 innocents to die so as not to let 1 guilty go free.
““Abusus non tollit usum” was thrown out the window when they banned GDKP in some game modes
And this happened a LONG time after not implementing DC protection in HC, So no go Post hoc etc
