Save/Pause Game?

Hi, I just started playing a few days ago and I didn't notice anything allowing me to save or pause the game. I was an hour and a half into a quest and there was a connection error and when I logged back in I was back at the shore encampment -_____- Is there any way to save the game where I am or at least pause the game? I understand the game not pausing when you're playing with other people but I'm by myself, I would think you could pause in that scenario. Thanks.

Every given moment, your character is "saved".
No there is no pause. AFK in a safe place, and ya, you'll be returned to camp when you die, or DC.

Ok, thanks.

This is a Online Game, but NOT an MMO.
So there is no traditional saving methods.

Use a waypoint to quickly get back to where you were. The game does save your character and items on a very regular basis so don't worry about that.

sorry about i know where the waypoints are but how do i get back to them i tried clicking on them from the camp on the map but it is not right someone please

The Waypoints are found random locations on the map. They can be spotted on the minimap as a blue blob. Click on them to activate the waypoint, so when you die, and are kicked back to town, you can take the waypoint back into the instance However after 8-15 the instance will reset, so of course you will have walk around looking for the entrance to the next instance all over again.

Its really annoying when u get disconnected or you have to go (leave the game do some real life stuff) and can't save your location, for example you're in 2 areas further than any of your waypoints and can't find new one in area you are... I had a situation like this yesterday. At least save my location that the next time i get back in the game i start in same area, even if it has to be randomized again. I guess going back to this place wasnt that bad and i still got some exp/items etc so it wasnt wasted time, but when they road there is randomized its not that easy to get back where i was again, its like im exploring new area all over again...

SOrry for long text, long story short - save my location when i leave, or at least make teleports be saved for when i leave the game so i can use them again when i log in.

er... the game maps are ransom instances. when you log back in the world is completely different so:

a) your portal wont exist in the same place as the world you were exploring is gone

b) even if you had a portal saved your map and environment would be completely different.

you really need to learn how instances and waypoints work.

I know how instances and waypoints work. I just don't like how my 'progress' that i made getting to new area is nullified if i have to log off and i can't find (or there is none) waypoint. I understand that world will change but that's not the problem for me. I'm FINE with world being completely different because i'll be in the same 'area' (instance? you know , the one point on map) that i left and i won't have to to run again from 2 areas far away just to get back there because i got kicked out or i had to leave (and i couldn't afk cause i might have died)

So yeah, i just want to start on the same map, not the same looking map but the same one i left, not having to get to that map again. You get it?
