Game could just reload either right where you left off or at the entrance to the area where you left off. But only as long as the instance remains open. GGG doesn't seem to mind people instantly logging out to avoid dieing, lab wouldn't be any different in this case. Nothing to abuse here.

That would obviously be an abuse in this case.


I don't know what is their "authentication token transfer" shit in between instances, but having the lab crash because of this is really messed up .... ( thats what happened/happens to me)

But still :

What kind of DC protection would you add, and how would you make sure it can't be abused with a process kill faking a disconnection?
SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

They could just stick some way points in there at least. It's only a video game. What's the point of having a video game with parts that are annoying? Makes no sense.

But the true problem lies in the overloaded and poorly optimized code. This game can't handle the weight of itself anymore.

PoE2 or bust.

But seriously, there is no way you can do that if there is Alt+F4 in place. :c

DC lab protection for the price of baning logout macros...actually baning any macros or scripts from the game.

....mmmmmm....I wish they would ban logout macros... would love to see how many of the "hc" players would remain in hc
YES I support the game, NO I don't agree with many GGG decisions

Lab still sucks balls.

I miss Zana already.
Save the Lab instance, like the rest of the game.

As already mentioned its not possible to keep in tact the design of the lab and have protection against DC'S. As much as it sucks to lose a run to something out of your control, its impossible to happen without changing the very design of the lab.

Remove MF from POE, make juiced map the new MF.
yes.

while altf4 cannot be prevented (Windows function), getting disconnected more than half way through or right after beating Izaro (fkn hell)... is beyond words.

and Goetz, I don't see how it is "against the Lab design" to prevent that.
detect logout macros and whatnot. punish with a few extra seconds server side I don't care. but don't punish me for playing fairly and getting one damned packet lost out of a billion.

I'm a fan of Rogue-like, one-chance-at-it levels and dungeons... but you just don't mix it with an online-only game in the first place.
but if you did - at least add some stability mechanism, please.

Problem is that any protection has a way to exploit it. Alt-F4ing is easy to protect against, that closes a program. It's harder to tell the difference between a program crash and a process kill. And disconnections? Any person with even rudimentary knowledge of computers can easily drop their internet connection by resetting their router or unplugging their ethernet cable.
No no no no......no protection needed,it's all pure fun and joy to run the lab. Now when you dc,you'll get to do it all over again. win-win,right.

Yes, we all agree that is sucks and is SHOULD be protected in some way. There is a question - how?
And what we're saying here is that answer to that question isn't easy, or in fact even possible without other changes, that would fundamentally affect others aspects.
