    Its not just you, everyone is lagging today/tonight. Several people have been disconnecting. I don't just mean a little, I mean a lot more than usual.

    I never lag just out playing where no 1 is around, but have been tonight.

    In the last 24 hours or so I think my mule character that runs all day on my laptop has disconnected 3 or 4 times, which is actually rare considering. It could be my ISP though since I haven't been on doing anything online while it DC'd yet.

    I dont understand.. The PW client can Crash, Freeze and Stop responding.. And you'll be signed out. Lose your connection, and your still logged in for about 10 minutes....
    When I played RS, Whenever i lost connection. I'd be logged out instantly.

    Why cant the same be done here?

    If character logged out instantly, then it would be the single most efficient way of surviving any attack, be it by player or mob.

    - Pk coming after you? Crash the game = Free getaway
    - Something went wrong on FB or Boss hunting and the big bully is running after you without ever losing interest? Crash the game = Free getaway
    - Poison mob stacked so much that you probly wont be able to heal enough? Crash the game, log on another char and ask a cleric to heal/purify = Free getaway

    Yes, i agree it sucks when you're grinding or whatever, dc and you log in dead. It happens. Fact is, game would be alot worse if you could crash to instantly log out and save yourself from a death that was inevitable like the situations above.
    Truth is, if you have at least 1 cleric friend or be lucky enough that a cleric is near you with max res, you wont lose a single thing from death. Since you guys mentioned other games, please tell me of 1 decent game that you lose NOTHING upon dieing and then maybe we can begin to talk about chars instantly logging out in case of dc.

    Lets not forget also that dc is rarely the servers fault.

    by the time u press Cntrl+Alt+Del and end the program, u're dead in any way.
    So no free getaway.

    They should just disconnect the char from server if connection falls. And not keep the char stand there for 10+minutes getting killed or HP charm bashed. (easy lose 300K hp from charm when DC in aggro mob-territory who are 40+ lvls lower than you)

    How so? I once had 750 poison dmg on me. Got almost 4k hp. Sadly i had just ran out of those purple pots and had to rely solely on hp pots. I had like 10 secs to crash the game and ask for help.
    As for pk, if he's about the same level but 1 is geared for it (genie, pvp skills, etc) he wont 1 hit you to death. So you have all the time in the world to crash the game to log out to save your charm.
    Boss hunting? Sometimes players run the entire dungeon to get to entrance and leave. Crashing right away would save charms.

    So no, you're not dead in any way. Theres time in any situation.

    I agree 10 mins is too much. 1 min would be enough. As for wasting 300k hp charms, again, not the servers fault. If you get dc'd for whatever reason and fail to get back asap, the charm loss is purely your own fault. To lose that much on a lowbie area you'll have to not even care about the dc and leave it as it is.

    Btw, i have maybe died 2 or 3 times total in all the months i've played PW due to dc while grinding...and i've grinded ALOT from 60~80. I hadly consider this an issue and my ISP/PC arent exactly top notch. Complaining with your own ISP would be the best way to resolve this matter.

    There is a solution for this, its called force log. Sense a dc coming, than you force log and you will log out.

    I wish I could sense incoming DC. My internet is working at full speed and then it'll just die.

    What i mean to say by incoming dc is, if suddenly you're unable to fly or all the mobs suddenly stop moving around you, or your unable to click your own avatar with your avatar pic showing up. If so than you force log =/.

    I have a little switch on the bottom of my laptop...it turns off my internet. If I slide it to off, I'd DC immediately XD

    Tried this exact thing. When that happens, the force log to desktop doesnt work. The reason is, the force log still needs to communicate with the server to tell it to log you out. When your skills, or flying, are no longer working, the d/c has already occurred, (different d/cs act in different ways, sometimes its an immediate diconnect message, sometimes its not). When you cant click skills, mobs aren't moving or loading, etc etc, your client cant tell the server to force log you. It'll actually not respond to the force log button being clicked either.

    This is ridiculous, I just got disconnected while killing a damn monster with my cleric and when I logged back in, dead. And it's not the first time it happens. Thank you very much PWI, and I was at 95.5% too.

    Are you saying I shouldn't complain about this issue because no one posted in 29 days? I didn't look at the damn dates, but that shouldn't concern you. I used the Search Fucntion and posted. If my post was necro then your was useless.

    And again your post is useless. If you want to help then show a thread where a solution is mentioned, it's like saying no one should QQ about Flesh Ream or other annoying glitches/bugs/whatever. And it says 1-2 months there, 29 days is not a month. Funny no? And another thing, each time someone makes a thread everyone jumps at that person's throat asking why they didn't post in one of the others threads on the same issue.
