working as intended?

So last night we where doing the coalesence, and one the guildies went link dead in the square room from lag, he logged back on 7 minutes latter and was in merida. Is this how it suppose to be? If so, I feel it needs rethinking. First off, he couldn't make it back to the quest by him self, and died 3 times trying to. Second, the changed the death peanalty to stop the xp loss, but now require us to recall to get l/d party members back to the quest and lose 20% xp? Seems a little hipocritical(sp?)

This is also why I don't like the change to the chests. If a party member goes link-dead, we have to wait for them to get back before opening the chest. That sucks for both the party and the person, who through no fault of their own, goes link-dead.

Agreed, this happened to us last night too, found out the hard way that even if link dead, they don't get the chest, I mean, they were standing right by it when they went LD...came back 5 minutes later to no loot..

Whats the purpose of the new chest rules? To stop people doing what? Coming into the quest on completion and looting?
Who does that? I just dont see anyone haivng a party made up of six alts on six different accounts just to loot.

Or is that what plat farmers do? If its to stop the plat farmers then it needs to be rethunked. Cause its gonna cause us to stand around and wait for buddies to come in before opening chests, link dead people are gonna cause a problem...it just doesnt make sense to me.

Interesting. We had a party member go link dead last night in Coalescence as well and he was gone for at least 5 minutes and when he came back he was in the quest still. I wonder if there is a time limit.
