You cannot save during a quest??

I have been looking forward to the release of AOEO for a long time, but already, I see one huge glaring flaw with it that boggles my mind. If you are disconnected while doing a quest, it does not save your current state so you can return to it - it resets it. WTF?? I was just disconnected 10 minutes into a quest, and now have to start from the beginning. How on earth could they release a game that does not even save where you are currently at? Am I missing something?
|||Well, no, you cant save during a quest. Quests are usually done in 10mins - 1 hour ish, but yeah, its not fun if you get disconnected when you are almost done with it. But then again, i have never got disconnected during a quest, so no idea how you feel. =p
|||Because it's an MMO. You can't save persistent progress, so if you disconnect then you have to start the quest over again. It's much like how in WoW, if you disconnect during an instance, your group probably isn't going to wait for you, and so will kick you out. The progress you'd made during that would be lost, and you'd have to start over.

If you are going to make the WoW comparison, it would be like losing any quest progress you make on any quest if you don't complete it before signing out. It is a ridiculous design decision, especially with how unstable the servers seem to be. I have been disconnected twice so far.

I am fine with not being able to save my progress on my own, but it should allow you to resume where you were if you are disconnected.

|||True enough. That actually would be a pretty good suggestion.
|||This was brought up during the beta. I think you will find it was alot lower on the priorities list than other things. Its also is alot of work to integrate something that might occasionally save you a couple of minutes completing a quest. Whilst it would be great to have, Id rather see them making progress on more integral parts of the game.
|||They should try to make this a higher priority because paying customers like me won't invest any more time in this game until a feature like resume from disconnect is implemented.. it is disheartening to see you get to almost the end of a quest and then get disconnected for no reason, just because your internet connection has a little hiccup.
|||Quests are very short, i would prefer an offline mode were you can complete the quests you have already gotten personally.
