Why Do I have to start again each login ???

I am new and loving this game but may have to quit it …
It is not possible for me to play hours at a time maybe 30 mins.
At Level 6 I get past the Boom Brothers and save my game.
When I log back in I am with the Army guy again and have to fight my way all through the Boom Brothers again after which I have to log out.

Surely I can go back to where the game last saved ???

Army guy? Sir Hammerlock is an explorer. Anyway technicalities aside.

The spawn point for Southern Shelf is at Liar's Berg. So for any map (not just Southern Shelf) you have your main spawn point which you will spawn at when you load up the game or Fast Travel. There are very few unique exceptions, but this is the general rule. So your progress is in fact saving, but you aren't actually making any story progress, because you keep on doing the same thing instead of killing Captain Flybt and travelling to the next map. It shouldn't take you more than 30 mins to do that.

Respawn points are different to spawn points. If you die you respawn at the nearest activated respawn point, if you haven't activated any, then you start at the original spawn.

The game actualy saves you progress (missions, gear, skills etc.) but not the location you were standing. Unfortunately, unless you go trought whole quest in this area, and leave for the next area, you will spawn at the last fast travel station after quiting the game, which is the one besides the "army guy"... after this one mission it'll get better... this also turn me off the game for the first time, but than I came back and had a blast...
