Game exit on disconnect
« on: June 29, 2006, 06:52:45 PM »
I wish the game didn't totally exit on a disconnect.  Obviously your flight is done but it would be better if it returned you to either the tower or the Arena selection, that would be more graceful handling of the dropped connection.  Especially in SEA events it adds time to the user getting back in if it was just a momentary thing.

Agreed! At most it should take you back to the main menu (select online/offline/etc)
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Yes, I would like to go back to the main menu, so that I could rejoin.

We used to have it this way, problem is a lot of real disconects also happen, and these then would tend to hang tring to get the arena list.

2nd on arena resets it would create the problem of evernone in the arena instantly hitting the arena list server. Rather than being spaced out some what do to the different times it takes uses to start and login.
