Why on Earth do y'all close open maps on disconnect?

I have a stable, fast internet connection and I disconnect at least 8 times a day from PoE. That, or the game just crashes and quits to desktop. Today the servers are especially terrible and I have disconnected 10 times already and each time, my maps are closed out, even if I immediately try to log back in. Missions lost. Maps lost. Why don't you leave open maps open for the full 8-16 minutes if a player crashes or disconnects? Especially when you have such terrible servers that it happens constantly?

The simple answer is that they don't.

Map portals only close if either the Hideout Instance or the Map Instance have crashed.

Something is going on right now, just lost Atzoatl and 2 maps. This is utter garbage, just got done with work, trying to effing play just a LITTLE WHILE GGG you have become trash. Honestly.

Yep. It's borked. Gonna play something else.

Just now, I was experiencing no lag or connectivity issues...playing in a map.... cast a portal and it says i can't go through. I die and it says I cant respawn in my hideout so I respawn in town. Go back to hideout and my map is closed out. Why the fuck do y'all close maps... JUST LEAVE THEM OPEN. Fix this and pay me 100$ USD right now.

GGG isn't closing maps to spite you. The instance created by your map has crashed and no longer exists, therefore it cannot be entered again.

Now you could argue there should be a mechanism that preserves your map so it gets restored if you crash, which in turn would open up a huge can of abuse potential.

Yes it's really annoying when it happens, yet there are good reasons the system is at it is.

Well, I was just doing some delves with a map open. I come back from the delve to my hideout after a bit....guess what!?!? MY MAP IS CLOSED!!!! WHY ARE U CLOSING MY MAPS TO SPITE ME? let the fucking maps stay open for fucks sake WHY DO U CLOSE ALL THE MAPS. pay me 100$ or I will boycott this game

This man is clearly butthurt and has resorted to trolling. However i agree maps are crashing left and right this week. Im scared of opening a map because half of them crash. Fixes need to happen soon, please.
