[Mabinogi-KR] Possible Reconnection to Shadow Missions/Dungeons

  I would really love to see this feature become a reality. I had to redo G3 Final 3 times due to my party members disconnecting on the last floor.

  They should make a way for it to happen for server maintenance, too. I was helping someone with G3 final and we were forced to restart because unscheduled maintenance.

  That sounds like a great idea, but I can't imagine it being possible since a server restart's probably going to wipe out the instance of your presence in that dungeon.. unless I misunderstood how those work, which is probable.

  It's certainly possible, but you're right in that server reset totally wipes any instanced information we have. To make it work we would need to have the system record information based on the instance/SM and save it to your character, then recreate a new one with the same information. It's not going to happen though, we'll just have to survive.

  Now the question is how do they plan to enforce this. What if a person disconnects, and the party leader changes the number from like 6->5 making the "party full" how would this work?

  
  Unlike Dungeons, Shadow Missions are Party Quest-based. That being said, the party is locked when you enter the Party Quest/Mission, meaning you can't increase/decrease the limit, and I don't think you can expel people from the party.
  
  On the other hand, Parties have a minor role in Dungeons, and that is that people who were in the initial party when they enter a dungeon will get the end chests (if they are on the floor at the time) of the dungeon boss's death, regardless of if they're in the party or not. At the minute, you SHOULD (not sure) be able to disconnect, and reenter a Normal-type dungeon if a party member is still in it, and still get the end chest reward. All that would need to be done is something similar for passes. But how would you reenter a dungeon/mission after you disconnect? Talk to an NPC? Get a ghost-pass like in G1 final?
  
  
  A ghost pass in G3 final would have been a life saver. When Genesis first came out, I had to do G3 final four times. Two of the times I disconnected, and two of the times I was one or two rooms away from the boss on the last floor. The third time I got kicked out for an unscheduled maint. . .

  You can join a party while in a shadow mission if you are in a solo one.
  
  Well you used to until they did that "have to be in same map" patch.

  I never understood why only G1 has it...

  This will never work
  
  Shadow mission instances rarely, but still happen enough, can overlap one another and cause you to spawn in a void. Also the servers are not built to support hundreds of instances from people dc'ing left and right like they do even now. That means there will be a huge increase of server lag, and more people will dc, and it doesn't help either when people are locked out for hours due to the 2nd password glitch.

  This actually happened to me when I was doing my G3 finale. It wasn't unscheduled maintenance, but... the announcement was published maybe 3h before it :/
  
  Still, saving all those instances of various dungeons and shadow missions would be too much for a server to handle. Especially that people from various places could be joining right away, few hours later, maybe few days later...
  Like others were mentioning, a ghost pass at the beginning or end of each floor would be great idea to "save progress". (well, or just right before boss)
