Stay on your mount for a few minutes after a disconnect

[Nalst]

Title says it all. Flying and some other stuff feels like a gamble now.
(nope I don't have the money to have a 100% garantied connection :'( )

it has been set since a couple patches ago that if you disconnect while flying, your mount will land before dismounting you.

Thats a relief to know, I just hope the roll back isnt where i was flying above 3 alpha having a big fight with 8+ bronts, 8+ stego and a laod of trikes. That will not be pretty :s

it will definietly be a roll back like 20mins or so coz its sudden DC from the server.

meh....is that even helpful 20 min rollback?

A random ascendant blueprint in the inventory of those online that was affected would suffice :)

plus the torture and execution of person/persons responsible.

You sure about that? Last night a tribe mate's game crashed while he was flying, he logged back in having fallen to his death, hours later we find his bird, it's actually still up in the air where he would have DC'ed, only it was sitting in mid air as if having landed there.

Thanks for that info but I still wan't to sit on a big pile of HP while I reconnect. Otherwise it goes from an easy spinokill to a relog to mourn your death saber or whatever dino you whe're using (yes I like the passive setting)

This is NOT true. Twice now i have disconnected while flying on an official server. Both times when i got back into the game a minute later, i was no longer in the saddle. The second time, I was deep underwater and drowned. I was level 53. On a hardcore server. I will not be playing again for a while.
Devs - please fix this.

My tribemate was carrying me with her argent and she was D/C'd we both fell and the argent bailed.... While hovering over an alpha raptor and his 4 buddies..... We lived.. Barely

A friend of mine already dropped from his bird 3 times now when he d/c'd. Flying mounts do NOT carry d/c'd people to the ground first...

Yeah, i wish it could be true... but it is not. And never was so, and never was announced to be so.

Birds do drop you off the second you become sleeper/get tranqued. And only then they do land. If you are not high - you may survive the landing and grab the bird back. If you are too high... well, cross the fingers that the bird will survive for long till you recover it.

And there are no such things as 100% garantued connection ;)

Yes they do. I've always come back from a server disconnect whilst flying, to find myself and my bird safely on the ground.

something killed him on the ground, it sets you on the ground under your mount if you disconnect.

there is NO SUCH THING as a 100% online connection no matter how much money you have PERIOD.
