I build up, I finally get a decent thrall, some decent armour, weapons, etc… and decide to take on the volcano.
I negotiate my path through and over lava trails , and strange gardens filled with alien looking plants with poisonous fumes, but its ok! I was smart enough to bring my sandstorm mask!
I hack and slash my way through numerous guards, and denizens lurking within.
I clamber my way to find hidden feats of knowledge, jump through the portal , and fight against serpent men, and even kill their leader, claiming a strange object as my prize!
I make my way back to the portal, and jump back through, to see …a loading screen, and then, an animation of my death.
Apparently the guards (whom I already killed on the way in) can kill you while you are still loading.
I lost everything on me, which included a legendary weapon etc, so that was painful. Just couldn’t get to it.
However my thrall survived weirdly, in fact she made home all nonchalant 'n stuff, so next time on the way back she’s carrying everything, and I’m jumping through nude.
Yeah, its not the first time I’ve had this unfortunate experience, but this one was truly a kick in the teeth.
This game can be brutal sometimes, and that doesn’t even include the PvP aspect.
This was on an official server, so if anyone found all my stuff, you’re welcome! lol
It would be interesting to see what happened to you as you were teleporting. My wife and I have TVs close to each other so you can see what happens on her screen as I am still in limbo.
That sounds so good, but unfortunately this is what us PS4 Potato-types have to put up with.
Not quite ready for a full PC-veggie upgrade, but maybe the PS5 would improve things? (Can’t remember the specs off the top of my head, but I think it has an SSD?)
Anyway, I will rebuild, and try again… I roll with the punches me.
Depends on the model type, as they are quite different over time. My two PS4s will not benefit from an SSD, according to Sony. I had to ask them to be sure. In my case, a hybrid hard drive might theoretically speed loading times by 4.3x, according to Rockstar re Red Dead 2.
Yes. This has been a problem a lot of us have been grumbling about for ages. It occasionally manifests in PVE, like it did for you, but it’s usually brought up in PVP combat context, when people who exploit this by camping obelisks get accused of being cheaters.
