Drop All Items Upon Death

[Aiden]

As the title says...it would fix the practice of just committing suicide to get home with huge loads of stuff.

I commend the player base on creativity, but it's kinda sad that this is the accepted way of conducting large trades at the moment (due to the lack of any better option).

Like in DF, VG (old school), etc...everything hits the ground when you die...can be recovered by you (or the individual that killed you) and everyone else after a certain period of time.

Thanks for listening!

Would certainly help make transportation a bit more realistic, though I'm not entirely sure what the current set-up is hurting... ?

Is it the notion of suicide that is troubling? Removes chances for ambush on way home? Makes the world seem smaller since you can trade very heavy items from far away without too much trouble?

I think for this to be implemented while bags still remain private on the ground would cause a bit of an uproar. Seems like it would kind of automate the process of dropping bags upon death and making them inaccessible... I don't like robbing or being robbed, but for those that do, there might be a few things to iron out.

I'd be cool with everything staying on location, for things to be auto-public on death... but I'd kinda want to see locks and boobytraps at the same time. Just to keep things balanced out a bit.

I don't think it's really hurting anything now other than the things you listed...and it's probably necessary to facilitate larger trades until something else is done...it's completely unrealistic to expect players to tote 1000 bricks back and forth across two zones 80 at a time in their backpack, so I suppose it's (at this time) a necessary evil.

I would like to see it change in the future though and I would certainly like to see the packs/bags/loot all go auto-public (perhaps after a set period of time during which it's only available to the owner and, if applicable, the killer).

I think they have pack animals in mind, and were going to consider things like carts (someone reinvent the wheel already...)

Maybe I should start another thread about the locks and boobytraps thing but I really think that should be part of any auto-public change. I'm just not keen on the idea of making pvp too easy a procurement tool. Fight because there is a reason to fight, not because someone doesn't want to trade/craft.

I agree the system with dying and bringing all the goods with you is bad. Ive posted this many times before.

They need carts, and wagons, and pack mules etc to load up and move items. Dying to export all these heavy items is not how the game should be done.

[KeithStone]

once they put in death penalties, this should fix the problem.

I like that this game is trying to do things different from all other ffa games- there's a reason why ffa pvp games are mostly vacant, so it's about time they try something new.
