So, my fiance and I have been jamming out to this game while we wait for international travel to allow us to be together again. We've been loving this game thouroughly. Tonight, we blew through Valencia I, skipped Valencia II (everyone understands why), and started Kamasylvia I's main quest line. There's a part where you have to take the Old Moon Hot Air Balloon service from Calpheon to Grana. We jumped on the balloon, started on our way (leaving our horses in Calpheon). She hopped into her Black Spirit's Adventure boardgame for a sec - and the game crashed. No biggy, games crash. I half expected her to reconnect and be IN the hot air balloon with me.

Not the case. She reconnects at the EXACT location she disconnected. As in, in MID AIR above the forest by the Rhutum Outpost, where she promptly falls to her death, and has to run on foot back to Calpheon because her horse was checked into the stable. Not only all of that - but the ticket that the quest gave her for the hot air balloon? GONE. So now she's huffing it through Calpheon buying a black stone to exchange for ANOTHER balloon ticket. Meanwhile, my dumb ass is standing in Grana waiting for her, typing this bug report furiously while she rants up a storm about how mad she is over this garbage over discord. Here's a thought. Make the seat in the hot air balloon the player's permanent spot on the server UNTIL that bitch lands. 20+ minutes later, she's finally on her 2nd balloon over, and I can stop bitching and moaning.

Don't get it twisted - I love this game so much. THIS shit is so dumb though.

Use ticket, don't enter balloon, move to Grana from Calpheon on horse. 

I do this with every alt, the quest does not require a balloon flight.

LOL its always been that way.. just like if you disconnect in the ocean you reappear under the ship in the water. Just wait until you discover all the other wonderful glitches.. your boat or horse flies up in the air.  you cant move after training on a dummy, reconnections, attacked on land and sea by invisible people.. the list is so long and they dont fix any of it.. you will see. The only reason people stay is because its a beautiful game  with lots to do but also the most glitches of any game ever.
