I have a terrible internet connection, its not that fast(which isnt the problem) but i tend to get a bunch of internet outages and the game keeps on playing when the outage happens. Meaning the probability of me dying is near 100% of the time, especially in a fight. Can GH fix this annoying issue? for example you could remove the player from the map (still in the mission) and when the internet comes back you spawn by the latest party button or right after the barrier of the arsenal area if you have crossed it. Please take this into consideration, its really a nuisance for me and maybe other people with internet as bad as mine.

What Fangel said up there - the ER doesn't activate until you're reconnected. However, I have internet problems as well but mine tend to start and stop a lot so I often reconnect to find my ER used itself while it had a mere moment of connectivity again and I ended up losing it too.

That's a different issue
If you die with your ER before the game detects you as "disconnected", then your ER will activate. If you get disconnected, and after 30 seconds of being disconnected you die, your ER will not activate. If you had 2 pips of health fighting fiends and your internet goes out then yeah, game might not detect your disconnection fast enough.
Unfortunately it's impossible to detect a tactical disconnect from an internet outage to the server. As such, any fix you suggest needs to be considered for someone who isn't great at the game disconnecting their own internet for a few minutes.

ah so thats what is going on,
ah so thats what is going on, it takes awhile for me to go to the login menu, so i guess thats the case, still very annoying
As it stands, the game already does something for you here - if you die while disconnected and still have your ER, it will not activate until you reconnect to the game.
However when it comes to this sort of thing individual people's internet going out isn't something that can be accounted for in an online MMO. All online MMOs you play will have this problem and will typically just drop you from the game - Spiral Knights at least lets you continue where you were before.
