Corpse timers/Res timers

**nilbog** · #1 06-11-2010, 05:06 AM

Do not currently work correctly.

We need to make them work correctly.

If you feel you can contribute information, please be as specific as possible.

-If your character dies, how long should your corpse last before rotting? Is this variable by level? Should your timer count down while online/offline/character on same account?

-If you die, how long should you have to receive a resurrection? How much time before you cannot receive a resurrection? Should you be able to res corpses multiple times? What are the stipulations for this?

-Should these mechanics change at any time during the project?

Specific, factual information will help the source developers not have to research prior to fixing these.

dissappearing corpses after 7 days =168 hours, rez ability should be on for the whole 7 days . no lvl varieties . timer runs even player is not online . runs further if you play another character on same account .
why should you rez a corpse multiple times ?

did i get the topic wrong perhaps ? ...

on live: exp-rezz was available for 6 hours total, the timer-countdown was active if you have been online on the char who died. normal rezz was still avail., but without exp, for 6 (or 7?) days.

You also might want to think of a way to prevent mass corpse resing on the first day of kunark.

Corpse would stick around for 7 days ( 168 hours ) from the time of death, regardless of online or not, on account or not. DUring this time you could REVIVE the corpse as many times as you wanted. Of course Revive is no experience rezz so why would it matter. ( IE Plane of Sky anyone? )

Exp rezzes were only availble for 3 hours of ONline time. THis means the account logged in, either on that character or another. That was why alot would log out and get on a friends account to check on rezzes if they were crucial like up in the planes and lost 46 time thing.

I agree with Sail... that is how I remember it working.

Originally when someone rezzed you, you were taken immediately to your corpse with no confirmation window. When they patched that, you could click Accept over and over and receive your exp back 2+ times. Please re-implement this classic bug.

7 days, 6-7 _online_hours rezable THO i think that the rezable countdown got implemented at a later time afaik.. have no evidence tho.

so: you could rez the corpse 7 days (no matter if online or not).. and the rezable countdown got stopped if you logged out that character.. (you could log in a twink and search for a rez)

what the hell are you people before this guy talking about? lol.

Corpses were a week - NOT varied by level, as it was later in the game (for like level 5 and under or something). This timer continued online/offline whatever.
3 hour rez timer, paused when off your account.
You can revive a corpse infinite times. You cannot revive THEN resus/res - exp rez needed to be the first one if you were going to get exp back.

Not 100% sure if the 3 hour thing was the rule ALL the way from the beginning cuz I was a giant nubcake back then and didn't know the rules. But for most of my eq life, at least, it has been that 3 hour rule. Anyone wanna research all this stuff for proof please be my guest but I need to do things right now!
