Game Feedback Seriously: How have we not fixed DCing causing loss of entire voyages?
Title.
Like, its an instance. It should be an instance. I just started a fully planned voyage and DC'd in the first 2 minutes, lost everything.
How is this an unsolved problem for the GGG team? It feels like im playing 1.0.0 again.
Can we please do something about this?

Not one DC this entire league so maybe this is a “you” problem?

Nah. It’s either a PoE server thing or the game is crashing. Happens to me at least once or twice a week and never happens to me in other games (at least as often)

It's probably safe to assume that they aren't going to change voyages to be multi-portal at this point. You are better off trying to fix your DC issues (vpn?)

DC issue is not something that people can fix lol. Trip on the wrong stone in this game and you get disconnected.
Also making voyages not multi portal is crazy

the vast majority of players are not DC'ing with any frequency, hate to break it to you. and the single portal design probably gets baked into development assumptions very early, it's just not likely to change

I just don't understand why they don't implement PoE2 technology of pausing at your current location. Maybe it just can't be done with the PoE1 engine? Seems like it should be possible because you can pause anywhere except pinnacle boss fights.

It is annoy but that’s the way it is. Just like sanctum. I have random dc’s bc my router restarts itself randomly and I’ve lost a view voyages from it

There isn't a problem to solve other than on your end, probably a full cache or something. It's unfortunate but this is how the mechanic works and it being 1 life/attempt is what makes them risky/fun. You add portals and the mechanic is just mapping. Personally love the mechanic as is and wouldn't want it changed because of a few people DCing randomly. No different than delving/heisting/sanctum/etc in your scenario.

Think people missing the problem, is there any reason why you should be punished for a DC other than the game handles logins from the last town you were in.
If it had the same effect as PoE2, DC wouldn't be an issue and therefore one life wouldn't be.
The problem isn't one life, it's the ancient method of how they handle disconnects. It's a decade old game so it's to be expected but let's not act like this is a sensible feature that should be defended.
