Corpse Spam

[Messianic]

Corpse Spam is hilarious to me. Make an Ogre newbie and go check out the corpse spam on the way to the Feerrott Zone line. Good stuff.

Complaining about it is kind of silly. There are probably far worse things you could complain about.

Usually we, like players, have /hidecorpse on.

I however did see a corpse like this after the patch today, and promptly deleted it.

Thank you, I did notice one in the EC tunnel was gone yesterday. There was still one by Freeport gates last I checked but it might be gone too.

Also, I understand completely that /hidecorpse is the "answer" and I use it. I have "/hidecorpse allbutgroup" on Hotbar 2 for cryin' out loud because I got tired of typing it. I don't know why some of the people on this thread act like it can't be discussed though without mocking us for "whining". We're discussing an aspect of the game, there's no harm in that. The only whining being done is by those who pretend it's some kind of taboo topic.

Ever since I knew the function existed - or when they put it into Classic EQ, I have had a hot button for that too.

Actually, it used to do a number of things, IIRC - I'd click it when I zoned or logged in. Maybe a /who all GUILD along with hide corpse, etc

So yeah... "/hidecorpse allbutgroup"

We do know the classic timers. Making them work right is a bit more of a task.

7 Day, offline
24 hour, online
2 hour, rez timer online

Corpse under level 6, 30 minutes.
Naked corpse, about 30 seconds.
Duel Corpse, 7 day offline, 24 hour online. 6.5 minute rez timer.

I miss anything?

If it's a coding issue then what I said can be disregarded - I was assuming that the only reason corpses were still like that was because the staff wasn't sure about the classic values.

I guess if those changes were implemented, lowbies restart with bread/milk automatically so that they wouldn't go hungry after losing their corpse in 30 minutes.

I thought /hidecorpse all hid mob corpses as well so it would be kind of dumb and annoying to continuously type or hotkey it.

Don't think it hid NPC corpses at all... but I can't say for positive, I just don't recall.

But I know any *new* corpses left after you issue the command - you will see. I just hit it once if there's a lot around, I don't keep hitting it.

Just once is enough if there are too many around. But my system now, can handle a ton of them around anyway, unlike the system I had back when I played EQLive.

Of course, I remember before that command was ever in the game.

But I do admit, in some cases, they can be good landmarks.

Naked corpse, about 30 seconds.

No way that can not be ... lets say i die whatever in lguk at frenzy, my IVU fades on the way down and i die again = impossible to recover in 30 sec ... did you also mean 30min?

Longer... it has to be, well over level 10 - let's say.

I don't know HOW many times I've been in groups or raids where there was a wipe and then 10 more bodies left per person as a result of trying to get the one with the gear.

30 seconds on naked ones - would mean a LOT of lost XP in those situations.

If you could just do it by zone it would make a big impact - the newb zones being 90% of the corpse population, lol

I think that line was also referring to newbie corpses. I'd certainly hope a higher-level naked corpse would have the regular timers for the CR purposes you just mentioned.
