I just found out the hard way the game doesn’t have crash recovery. I was completing a long storyline quest, and the game crashed. Now I get to start over. No fun. I also noticed when doing the last mission “Victory or Death” on my main, a while back, there are no “locks”.

For those not understanding my references, “Crash Recovery” would have brought me back to the point I was at in the Storyline mission, or very near to it, depending on save points. I would have no need to start it all over again. “Locks” refers to a dungeon game mechanic that would let you advance as far as time permitted and start again within a certain amount of days from where you left off. Not everyone can put 2 or 3 hours into a dungeon crawl, or they wipe a lot and it takes longer. Locks are a jumping off point. Pretty much any MMO I’ve played has had these.

That said, any plans or discussion about them being added or planned? I think GW1 had crash recovery.
