This is a huge problem where enemies are killing us while we are being disconnected. I've had this issue today, and I returned to Haven because I didn't revive. Ok, then HOW THE HELL IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO REVIVE WHEN I'M DISCONNECTED? Enemies killing me while I'm disconnected is unfair. Very unfair. It's like your frozen and cursed completely and you stay there forever. Then you die. And while disconnected players are being disconnected, why attack them? It's unfair to attack them. It's like getting the advantage to kill them without notice. They can't fight or do anything. It makes the game frusturating when you were disconnected for 10 minutes. I've done a clockworks run, then I was frozen, lagging and disconnected for 10 minutes. My internet said I had good connection.

When I came back, I am in Haven, and lost -10 energy more. WHAT WAS THAT FOR? Now I don't have that much energy, and worst part, I didn't get any loot. Instead my 500 crowns went down the drain for nothing. Now what I'm suggesting is to not make enemies never attack disconnected players. It feels like your losing your energy, crowns and connection.

Please at least do an effect for that. It's bothering me

I support this. Whenever I'm doing a gate someone gets disconnected, and dies, so I have to revive them which gets annoying.
So I feel your pain.

If you're not suggesting to have enemies not attack disconnected players, then what are you suggesting? Or is this just you moaning because you lost connection to the server. Monsters should not ignore disconnected players. If you disconnect, it is akin to you walking away from your computer. The game shouldn't just stop what it's doing because you have bad connection.

Also, this would be crazy abusable. just drop a few AoA and VT, unplug your router, wait a a minute, and plug it back in. All the monsters are now half dead and you are left without a scratch.

@Porcrhind, You don't need to revive them.

Well

Good point but

Maybe there should be a system on what kind of disconnection. Maybe in fact only when the system automatically detects that you disconnect either because of thunderstorm or it's automatic, they should accept that. No other ways in unplugging it. Spiral knights cannot create the system now, but maybe in the future they can create a detecting system like that

...I'm fairly sure that's thoroughly impossible without breaking several privacy laws and inventing some new spyware.
