New (maybe) ress fx idea

Postby Kifle » Wed Nov 13, 2002 10:20 pm

Have it reletive to lvl perhaps. I was also thinking since ress success rate is based on the recieving persons con, why not also have the fx time be also reletive on their con?

Should it increase with level or decrease with level? I can think of arguments for either.

I dont care what but something should be done already. Shev said almost a year ago that he agreed the penalty should be reduced.. i dont know in what way but it has to be done somehow...

Make one of the bard songs double res recovery while they're singing in the room. Image

Personally, I wouldn't mind the current time in resurrection lag if I just could be more certain that the resurrect actually would be successful... It's so boring to make up for the exp lost due to failed resurrect :/

Ress effects 10 min is WAY too long. How about reducing it to 5 minutes? Most fights don't last 5 minutes anyways

*puts up flame shield*

I had an idea about ress fx. What if it depended on how long the corpse has been dead? If you were still fresh (so to speak), it wouldn't take as long to get used to being back in that body. But if you've been dead for a week and have had tons of presses, you'd be pretty stiff. Just a thought.

how about making it just long enough that it would be unwise to res someone mid fight or would not allow you to drag them out, res and have them come back in for same fight

hmm 2 minutes?

how about the full 12 minutes with a 20% chance for no ress fx at all?

Could a forger please address the request to tone down res? A "No it isn't going to happen" without a reason would be good too. After playing this game for 1.5 years I grow tired of waiting those 10 long minutes in !teleport zones to just get out of res effects. Then it takes 5 min for most mages (remem b4 getting ressed using storage books guys!) to get their spells then around 2 min to spell up and go. Please consider the amount of time we sit around doing absolutely nothing on complete spanks, especially if you make zones like bronze citadel.

How about ress has effects, and revive does not.

If your willing to sac the xp, you can jump right back into the fray.

Well, warriors could. Mages would still have to deathmem.

What if certain rooms were made to reduce the effects of ress? That way ress's in hometowns would have little lag, while out in the field it would be normal?

I'd like to see res reduction based on the casters skill/int or wis or whatever would be appropriate, kind of like a successful quick chant or meditate.

Remove res effects in home town but make it so you are !teleport for 5 minutes.

This makes it so your not sitting around town being able to do nothing and means you can't res and return to fight quickly.

Make there be a movement penalty as well so that you can't run back to a fight.
