#Fail safe for lootrun end reward chest (SOLUTION)

Rolling the reward chest can take minutes with gambling beast, and disconnects and connection resets are a real problem nowadays, and in general.
We need a fail safe that can save most of your lootrun progress, instead of voiding potentially days worth of work by getting disconnected in that 1 minute when you roll the end reward chest.

Solution: the system should save (after each "reroll" used, including the first time you click on the chest to open it):

  • the amount of pulls (per reroll)
  • the amount of rerolls left after each reroll
    Let's say you have 500 pulls, 10 rerolls, 3 sacrifices. You reroll 2 times, and then you get disconnected.
    With this solution, the system could save you 500 pulls, 8 rerolls and 3 sacrifices, which at worst, only loses you 1 times 500 (effective) pulls.
    Without a solution, this would lose you 8 times 500 epulls + 375 pulls saved up from sacs for the next run.

Imagine how bad this is, when someone has 2000 or more pulls saved up, they do a gamba beast run with 10-15 rerolls, 3 sacs, AND PAID LOOTRUN TOKENS. And it all gets voided, after days of shiny hunting, just because after days of 0 internet or connection issues, they get a sudden, and only few seconds long connection or internet issue, which is very common nowadays with all the internet issues around the world.

The main argument against a fail safe is that "it could potentially be exploited to keep disconnecting and rerolling all your epulls, until you get the desired mythic(s)", but I fail to see how this solution would enable any such exploits.

I know people who literally quit lootrunning, because they encountered this issue multiple times, and I had this problem in the past too. (And I still have - though rarely - some connection issues, and outside of my control at that.) This quickly needs a solution, especially since it can void lootrun token rewards, which is a paid feature.

Crazy how this has been a problem since the creation of lr and nothing has been done. I think most people that have done a few lrs have experienced this and it’s so demotivating.

Especially now with tokens people losing paid items is a big deal

  • and if you get disconnected right after the last reroll was done, then only save (and automatically apply) the sacrifices, so - though you lose the pulls from the last reroll - you keep the sacrificed pulls for the next lootrun
#

Basically, a new "save" would happen right after (or before?) each reroll is used.
And to see what you got from a reroll, it takes a few seconds, even with wynntils, so if it creates the "save file" right after you use the reroll, I don't think this can be exploited in any way.

That said:
Let's say you roll a shiny mythic, and you get disconnected right before you would accept the rewards.
Would my solution save this shiny mythic? Nop, this shiny mythic would be lost. But the only solution for this would be for the system to also remember the exact rewards you rolled, and

  1. im not sure if that could potentially be used for exploits or not,
  2. let's face it, if you roll the desired mythic(s), it only takes at most 4-5 seconds to take it, and if you do get disconnected right in that few seconds, well... thats just awfully bad luck, but I find this an acceptable compromise, and it would still save you your remaining rerolls and sacrifices due to the fail safe.

I disagree with this thread because it happened to me and if it gets fixed other people wont suffer the same as me anymore like like like

#

Thatd be horrible

#

But genuinely i hope after fruma drops they dont start work on a new area for at least a year and instead just implement all the qol things and ideas and reworks and everything weve asked for

Especially since this ask has been years in the making and actually matters a lot due to hundreds of players losing rewards
