Before the anni beta update , if you lost connection you have a "chance" to stay alive and a message like "you logged out and you were teleported back to your base" will appear and you have all your stuff . And now if you disconnect you will simply "die" and lose everything even if you have protection IV diamond armor . This is unfair... it has to be changed . What do you think?
It's called npc's. And people abused it by logging out when they fell into the void therefore it was removed in the new update.
