Trial Wayshrines

Are there any plans to allow for players to immediately log in to where they die/dc'ed in trials?

As it stands, if you disconnect be it to server lag, internet issues, crashing... for whatever reason you start back at the beginning entrance to the trial. Compare this to any Veteran or Normal dungeon run where you log back in to where the server last pinged you at. I'm not sure I understand the reasoning for this. You should be able to log back in to where you last were without have to run through the entire trial to catch up to your raid group. I know this can be extremely frustrating for players who live in areas where their ping is high and have consistent crash issues or players like myself who don't always have reliable internet service. The problem with starting at the beginning is you are now making the entire group wait to progress through the trial while you are running back.

I would like to see in a future patch to where you will log in right back to where you left. Anything you can share about this?

After a crash/disconnect, you log back in at your previous location in nMoL. And although I haven't tested nSO, I wouldn't be surprised that it's like that there too.

So with two different behaviors in nMoL vs. vMoL, this is clearly a deliberate decision specifically for scoreboard trials. One that, frankly, baffles me. If you were dead at the time of the disconnect, you would still log in as dead and still require a resurrection. I'm unable to imagine any scenario in which this would provide an unfair advantage to a group.

If you get a chance, could you please comment on this, @ZOS_Finn?

I agree, whenever Someone DC's in trials Its a HUGE inconvience to the group to just run back

Well the things is, this as been prevalent prior to the introduction of Maw. I have never understood the reasoning to this decision either way. But you make some really good points, this does not provide any advantages as you would still be dead, and you would still need to wait for the player to log in.

If this is intentional it is messed up...

Oh, I have no doubt this was originally intentional. However now I just don't see the point in it's justification. I would love to hear from a dev to see if this is something that can be adjusted in a future patch/being worked on/what have you.

I think it is protection from force-logout, you could dodge some things with re-logging, and lose almost nothing if you do it fast

I'm not sure what there is to dodge? If you force log out (most people do this to frozen screen or infinite loadscreen) your character remains in game for a short time after. So I'm not sure I see the logic in this.

Come on devs I know you can tell us something!

Your character will remain logged in for a period of time--at least 10 seconds, I think--after a force-quit. So if you see a big nasty red thing headed for you and you force-quit to avoid losing that vitality bonus... well, it won't work. Plus, I doubt any competitive trials group would actually think it advantageous to lose a player for however long it takes to restart and relog.

And you already have the option to sit out of a fight if for some strange reason you deem it advantageous if your character does not participate: you can hang back and not enter the boss room

Okay, So new patch just came out with SO having a Vet and Normal version and guess what?

If you DC/Crash/Relog in normal version you log back in where you left!

Now why isn't this thing in vet versions of the trials and in AA/HRC??
