Mama_Sasha Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) many of us sure has great internet speeds, thats for sure. Great Wiifi, fast fibre internet, you name it. But what about those people with unstable internet? What about those who get dissconnected and looses all theri progress, both in experience points for weapons and frames, all event progress to get an item, everything really. A friend of mine was playing the Breeding Grounds Event mission. Due to his faulty internet, he lost all progress he made durning that difficult mission, and the game acts as if the mission never happened, logging him out and ignoring the progress. The idea i had was why not make it so that the account information, such as experience points gained for weapons and frames, get saved via streaming or a certain time point. Let me give an example to make it easier to understand. For every 5 minutes, the progress you made are saved into the account, instead of only saving it durning the completion of the mission or failing it. Thus preventing any progress for being lost forever, and it can, i repeat, can save up some work for you DE, and make the community less frustrated. Now, i am certain to get yelled at but that is being expected, but i leave this message here regardless. If this possibility is impossible, i udnerstand, but tis still worth talkign about. Cheers.

(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Well, what about those people who would end up crashing their computer to not fail a mission they were just about to? Also, wouldn't this just slow down their connection even more?
Sev7n Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 This issue is player side completely, the best solution is to find a new internet service. Having progress saved every x amount of minutes in a mission would just be something players learn to abuse.
VegetableBasket Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) I would like mission checkpointing but it's probably subject to abuse. Edited June 21, 2014 by VegetableBasket

And please do explain how it can be abused, and in what way?
RoboDoge Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Hmm, exploitable as hell. Do survival or defense mission and if you dont get your reward, crash the game.
Joyfulmama Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 This is really debatable, because it's both a help and a possible exploit
Joyfulmama Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Though I would say we should choose help. The innocent comes first.
RespectTheInternet Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Maybe they just put the system in as a safeguard. If a persons ping is incredibly high, the system kicks in. Otherwise, no abusing

Otherwise, no abusing There are a lot more reasons than high ping that a crash occurs, and besides, just open up another game and voila! Super high ping.
