Please add DC protection on Lab =( Please.

open one additional portal after (or even before?) every aspirants trial.

this way you also get another shot at izaro if you happen to die.
i never understood why they limited it to only 1 portal.

Because you are not allowed another shot at Izaro ..... you would not be worthy of ascending then I guess.

Just build a macro that sets the memory for your Client to zero. Boom crash. It used to be one of the major reasons for crashs on 32bit systems. Also I doubt that the client sends a "sorry I crashed" message, because after the crash the client is closed and can't send such a message. The Server will very likely just not receive pakets from the client and decides to timeout the player. Not sure if the client has a failsafe mechanism, which again would only work if something in the client is crashing, if the reason is on your PC (like not having enough memory) the client would very likely not have the ability to inform the server about the crash.

Actually, collecting information about a crash that has occurred is a critical piece of infrastructure for any application that needs to be kept stable and there are many frameworks for doing it such as breakpad, crashlytics, and bugsplat just to name a few that I've used. They generally provide the ability to run a simple callback in the event of a crash. Most often you use this to launch a separate program that does the actual reporting. It would be relatively easy to detect a client crash and report it to the server with that callback. However, that would require a certain level of trust of the client so eventually people would get software to spoof crashes if it gave any sort of advantage(such as being able to leave and rejoin the lab).

The fight is designed around buffing and not buffing him, not refilling flask with quick tp in\out, not letting additional people come in, ect ect.

For every solution people come up with, there is always the design factor that counter acts the exact reason it is the way it is.

I'd rather they improve the crashes, performance and other aspects, then change the design of the lab to allow for various factors of cheese.

If you end up needing to rerun in normal>merciless, nbd. In uber lab, you lose a few chaos. If it happens constantly, you need to figure out why.

I lost 2 out of 3 Uber labs I ran yesterday due to crashes, but I still don't think they can do anything to help people that crash without allowing people to log out of dangerous situations.

If they allowed each Izaro phase to act as a checkpoint I wouldn't mind that much, so long as you lost the checkpoint on death.

So what happens if you "dc" conveniently because you've put yourself in a bad place where you don't have flask charges or decent regen? You just "dc" and reset the lab from where your last checkpoint was?


I just don't understand whats taking everyone so long that they are so inconvenienced in time to need stuff like checkpoints on a challenge essentially designed for racing.

Well, i have faced several crash this league and most of them at changing zone.

Zone transsition crashes are pretty safe to catch without creating abuse cases. Because there are no enemies around you so you don't really need a safe timeout. You should have your Grace buff anyway.
