Any chance in the future you guys will be implementing some kind of save point feature in your story missions? Today was the 4th time in as many days that I’ve had to re-do a long story mission because near the end, I get disconnected.

Not only does it really take you out of the immersion, it really kills any desire to re-do it all of it, and I wind up just logging off and doing something else.

That would be a good idea, for sure! It also would be helpful for people who, for any reason, need to leave their computers while in the middle of a mission. Every other game I know of has checkpoints, so why not MMOs? The story missions are also instanced, so it’s not like it’s impossible to implement.

Im having the same problem with the HOT story line.
I beleive the instancing is the problem, as when you get DC, the instance itself vanishes as theres no one in it.
There isnt any reason though why the storylines need to be instanced.
The other easier option is to break the mission up into smaller discrete missions and at the end of each one you exit the instance , then to start the next one in a new instance.
That way if you DC, only the progress in the very last mission is lost.
