[SUGGESTION] Release Spirit - (when u die)

[Turrican]

as it stands when you die on here you dont get timed out like on euro, obviously because of resurrection spell.
but this also has negative side effects

for example

• if a Red pker is killed, he can sit and afk the rest of his PK point while he is still dead (with no worry's at all)
• people can run noob characters into sabuk die, and use them as spys (no way for other players to remove them)

what i suggest is when you click on a persons corpse (with a progress bar much like mount so no accidents), you force it to release(resurrect).

obviously the pk point thing still needs looking at though.

You do actually time out mate but its after about half an hour or so. Do you mean that when someone clicks on a corpse there is a progress bar like with res, and if it reaches 100% then they have no choice but to res in town if they are not resurrected by a player beforehand?

That's actually not a bad idea at all.

And I didn't think you timed out at all either. I've come back in the morning to find my character dead in contest room many a time and I'll still be able to chat and see guild chat/events happening.

Sounds like a good idea, similar to WoW PvP where you can force release a corpse in pvp to stop them being ressed.

I had thought we could do with an actual time out for a little while, It would make res more challenging if nothing else, I will create a feature in our work items tracker to consider this.

Is there anyway for regular members to view what the GMs are currently working on or the bug tracker?

At the moment, no... Mantis has a rather annoying bug where by if you make it public and log out, then you can't log back in (it just logs you in as an anonymous user). It may be something we consider again in the future, but for now it is closed...

I am going to speak to the team about potentially getting a couple of active members of the forums access to the bug tracker for the purpose of logging bugs for us (as it saves me having to log on here and troll through all of the abuse lol).

If you do implement some kind of timeout, would it be possible to either kick you back to character select, or auto-revive you in town, rather than disconnect you from the server like old mir did?

Not bad suggestions, I like the auto revive in town (and probably not to hard to implement).

Yes but it could ruin a hunt for a big group. Eg. If you are fighting over a boss and the. Your team wins but you are dead the other team could send you home instead of getting res'd after the fight.

This is a good idea, with a 5min timer maybe? Gives time for guild hunts to res, or in fights it gives a limited time for guild/group to res.

Also the auto-revive in town after timeout is perfect.
