omg people, LEARN TO READ.

Now when you err7, you don't leave the game. You only leave the game after 10 minutes. Stop asking stupid questions that don't apply any more, you USED to err7 and leave the party, now you stay in the party for 10 minutes when you err7, and can log back in during that time.

Look at your first post and tell me again how anyone reading that wouldnt think you were thinking of that possiblity. So yes. You should "rage more" please.

Nope, your computer exploding counts as exiting the program and won't trigger the reconnect feature. My guess is the client has to remain open for you to reconnect.

EDIT: my assumption was wrong, see Alex's post further down

Thanks anet for what looks to be a nice update.

Now we just need to buy a few million more to get the AI fixed.

Woman Wonder · Dec 14, 2006, 03:11 AM // 03:11

Wow those sound like great new additions! Now, if we could only get Anet to add a way for alliance members to see each other roster!

Thanks anet. Now I'm gonna have a bruise on my arm where I pinched myself.

But this update makes up for it!

I'm not a math whiz, but wouldn't that make it infinity?

Didn't see this asked - If you get disconnected, and the server treats you as AFK (for 10 mins or till you log back, whichever is earlier), and your party members go about killing stuff around in that time, would the game still keep allocating you drops? I'm guessing yes?

It isnt an issue either way, but just wanted to get it cleared...

My guess is that it'll work like it does right now; when your party moves out of range of you and you gray out on the Party window, drops will stop getting assigned to you.

muahaha love the party find thing (suck crap wow) , yes about the reconnect do u reconnect in the arena or mission? It said somehting about casting a spell dc then come back and ur still casting...so that would mean its in the mission right?

shadow-violet · Dec 14, 2006, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Yay for reconnects, best thing ever! Now I can play on my wireless without worrying.

Now everyone pray I don't get grounded for a not so good report card in the view of my parents so I still get to play

TheCrusader · Dec 14, 2006, 03:38 AM // 03:38

Reconnect = Best update ever, imo.

Yes, you cant cast spells in an outpost, and there would be very little point in reconnecting you in an area you weren't in.

Kick Ass! Thats one present off my list.

nimloth32 · Dec 14, 2006, 04:51 AM // 04:51

reconnect is definitely a nice update for ppl like me play from corner of the world with bad connection..

all we wait now is our auction houses..hehe

actionjack · Dec 14, 2006, 04:57 AM // 04:57

Well... Finally!

But good stuff.. show again how much A.net love us.

Jas D · Dec 14, 2006, 05:41 AM // 05:41

I'm excited! My router likes to give me problems so this helps a lot.

On a side note, I love this forum better than gwonlines.. they have too many stuck-up jerks there.

great avatar, and i guess GWG is just better . .

Dragonious · Dec 14, 2006, 05:54 AM // 05:54

It may be "about time" but you have to credit ANET for making an online game that once you buy....it's free until it's dead (hopefully never). If I have ever complained about ANET before, I really have no excuse but I apologize because they have put in a lot of hard work and it's still the same price. So please people, have a little courtesy to ANET...they aren't a bunch of bad people. :-)

Reconnects FTW!!! That makes my day!
