As far as I'm aware, any minions will remain under control as the character itself does not disconnect until the 10 minute reconnect period expires.

Yay!!!! I hate leaving people partway through a mission. And I especially hate them not knowing why (I don't ragequit, even when the PUG is hopeless). If it works it will be a huge improvement and congratulations to the aNet team for figuring out how to do it.

This is nice, Wintersday for general fun and goofy times and friends will be back for this .

Reconnects, now this will make DoA much less frustrating - killer losing 1 sometimes. Oh yeah, party will be able to tell if person was err7'd or just dropped out - helps with the ignore list.

3 million sold, nice and gratz. Guess chapter 4 is pretty much guranteed now I do love this game - a bit too much I believe.

This is just a nice announcement all round.

im so excited right now about this news. Can't wait to see how party formation is going to work.

Reconnects Reconnects Reconnects!!!

One question though, if we disconnect right before mission is going to end and your party beats the mission before you can reconnect to join them again, will we still get updated as having beaten the mission with them or do we have to start over???

This happened to me at Abbadons Gate mission. We had Abbadon's hp down to the last tidbit and i disconnected. So will the reconnect feature help us maintain our win????

I've got a question about the reconnect system.

If you lag in the new system, does that mean that the server will continue to consider you to be "in game" for up to 10 minutes? More specifically, will your character stand there helplessly for the whole of 10 minutes? Or will you be taken away after the presently operating disconnect time, only to be reinstated if you reconnect?

I'm asking because the first scenario will be rather harsh on those who lag and are trying to get survivor title...

I'm cautiously optimistic. Before I break out the champagne I want to see exactly how these features are implemented, because a bad system could very well be worse than no new system at all.

This sounds good i might start playing gw again (well, sometimes )

If this gets implemented the way it should be this game will rock even more then it did.

I do expect Hero/Henchman party formation can be change
origin:
H H H
H X H
H H

H = Hero/Henchmen
X = Player

possible party formation that i can think of:
Code:
X            X                  H H H H X H H H
H          H  H
H        H      H
H      H          H            X H H H H H H H
H    H
H                                        H
H                                    H H X H H
H                                        H
                                         H 

H X              X H H H H
H H              H H H H H
H H
H H
(my expectation from party formation in Dungeon Siege)

But, well, dunno what ANet real party formation will be
I do wish atleast like above or more better way (like custom formation)
