Title: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by Deval on 01/21/04 at 03:53:02

Just a quick suggestion RE player deaths, which would also help to allay some wars wich constist of 'Die and immediately run back to fight'. It's a fairly simple suggestion: Upon dying, the character that has been killed will, as normal, ressurrect in local tavern, BUT, after being killed, the player may not move that character from the pub for 30 seconds. If the player does try to leave the tavern before this 30 seconds is up, they would be presented with the following message:

'Your soul still lingers on the ethereal plain.'

During this time 'dead' players may chat as normal, but can't go bolting back to a fight, and lends an extra penalty to death. (Optional: Name colour for 'dead' players.)

::thumbs up::

Only if you are pk'ed, though. Or for deaths by monsters, make it significantly less. This will just anger new players to the quitting point. Impatient schmucks...

awesome idea.

Love the idea, but it's 30 seconds a bit much? I'd say 10 seconds would be more suited, but then I try not to PK/get PKed much, so it wouldn't affect me a great deal.

;D Great Idea

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by Snowy on 01/21/04 at 17:44:30

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by Windwalker on 01/21/04 at 23:04:21

On rev you can get like 3 minutes in hell..
What about having to wait [level] seconds? Not a problem for new players, is still high at any level where you'd be suiciding, and builds up instead of just occuring at a certain level.

that's better, more support for the idea required tho

Would it be the same if you were killed by a monster tho? Level 1-5 you just dont want to waste that kind of time if a rat killed you. 1 stam every 10 seconds now is a pain in the butt. Otherwise I like it.

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by JLH on 01/22/04 at 02:33:06
would not apply if a monster killed you

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain

I've seen this in quite a few other games and liked it, so I support it.  ;)

Well folks, you heard it, if your reading this, don't just be fence sitters, state your opinions.

(Thanks to those who already have.)

MODIFY: This is with the level scaling element included.

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by Trevayne on 01/22/04 at 05:48:00
I also like the idea.... scaled by level.

I think it's a great idea as well, brings in a little more challenge to get back to battle.  :D

Gr8 Idea I think it would fit in nicely and make things more interesting.

However, I always still think resurecting in a pub should not be I think you should resurect in a church but that has nothing to do with this idea.

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by Silverwizard on 02/12/04 at 17:32:48
I am in favour of this idea, yes Deval I do support you, never thought I'd see the day.

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by sayadin on 02/12/04 at 17:46:27
thats an outstanding Idea. Its real great. But like some other guys, 30 sec. is a little long eh? How about 15 sec. that will give you time to get your stamina and leave for somewhere else and also give you time to heal/spell up or whatever. I don't want to be just sitting there waiting for 30 sec. to past before i could go back to my clan or something like that. Or what you could do, if you haven't suggested in here, is that when you kill someone instead of going to a pub, they will be sent to an empty square known as either Heaven or Hell. Because lets say that by the time I'm about to die I quickly press n or maybe s and try to escape and then it lags and when it unlags it will send you into the pub and it still will read that command of the direction you want to take. So pretty much you will go to the plains where your soul will linger. I'm saying is it would be better to send them to an empty room where everyone dies basically between Heaven/Hell. And you can't move but you can talk to other player(s) who were killed and are in the square. That means No clan talk, no friend talk, and no paging because well umm... YOU ARE DEAD. And when your time is over, some dude maybe St. Petersburg will say "Its not your time" and then send you to a pub. I hope you get my drift. Later. Oh and i support your idea. and mine  ;D

Still prefer the your lvl * 1 second idea.

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by Version 1.0 on 02/13/04 at 20:56:08
I like the Hell Idea, but a little add on to it.. This would show how much time you'd spend there

Okay.. lets say your traveling through the Forest.. with 5 hp.. then someone comes up and kills you with a attack of 17

17-5=12

So you'd spend 12 seconds there.... Again it's just a idea


So my idea is for How much someone killed you for minus what Hp you did have.. what it would equal is how much time you spent in "hell"

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by busta_newb on 02/15/04 at 06:22:18
I BE LIKING THE IDEA


UNBANN ME

Title: Re: Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain
Post by Mip on 02/15/04 at 06:30:03
Die.

I'm not even a staff member and you're getting on my nerves. Don't complain about being banned. If it happened, it happened for a reason. If it happened for the wrong reason, e-mail a staff member. No need to make a spectacle.

Back to topic:

Superb idea. Although I say no to the heaven/hell idea.

I say you get resurrected in your local but are restricted to talking and emotes. You can still hear what your clan/friends/enemies/party and what other people say but you cannot reply until you serve your time.

* nods

People are trying to make this into something more than it should be, let's keep it simple eh?

Just a reminder, if you do try to perform these actions, you get the message suggested in subject, 'Your soul still lingers on the Ethereal Plain'.

Note: Ethereal plain is not being used as an assosiation with either heavan nor hell.

Post by Morgoth on 02/17/04 at 19:52:16
good idea but it works to the advantage of those people out there wiv enough arches/experts to take out a clan, you all know who u r, cause if I go into a square wiv say 2 arches and 4 lvl 20's and there are 6 arches they take out my arches and I cant get back so all my crits die sorry but I dont like this idea maybe if u get killed by a lower level i.e. ur lvl 26 gets killed by a lvl 20 then u get sent to the ethereal plain to get ur pride back or someting but this really does give an even bigger advantage to the better players.

Soz half of this prolly doesnt make sense I am unwell and can barely make out the screen so I appolagize!
