Failed Res
Failed Res
Can the color of a failed corpse be changed maybe to bisque or something pls :P when several of the same name are in the room, some of which have failed corpses, it's frustrating.
Might be quicker and better to just remove any chance to fail res?

I don't mind losing exp do death. There needs to be a penalty associated with dying. I think that clerics should gain experience for resurrecting people. Doing Tiamat resses should notch your character at least a few percent. There's no reason why casting a max level spell on a level 50 corpse 100 times isn't worth as much exp as grinding out your millionth DS giant.
On that note, some tiny amount of xp for pressing other peoples' corpses (not your own) when they are about to rot (using the lowest time remaining category only, to prevent abuse) might be in order. It would reward people for helping strangers.

I actually agree wholeheartedly with this idea .. making SOME difference in failed corpses .. maybe giving a message saying *an attempt to raise this pcorpse has been made, and failed* when you try to pres it .... something .. pain in the arse to be nice and pres already failed corpses .. or make them !pres .. something

Side note: did they ever make death xp loss reduce trophy correspondingly? It doesn't seem so - after Tia, my trophy list had a lot more entries in it!

The idea to put some sort of indicator on failed res's is nice. The idea of giving clerics a little exp for ressing is also nice--maybe 1/10th of the amount of exp lost by the individual after a successful res? (ie. 1/2 a percentage point, generally) Would give all of those jaded clerics a reason to actually shout "Bring out your dead" in the hometowns again... :)
FWIW, I think we can compromise between 'no failure' and 'fail and never try again' by simply making ress failures not flag the corpse NORESS. That is, one could try again with a failed corpse.
This has the advantage of keeping ress time-consuming, which was cited as a major concern for zone balance, while allowing people to ultimately retain more XP (or die more often with the same resultant xp loss.)

Atm the penalty for losing exp is you play WoW instead of doing DS.

I speak for most all enchanters in saying QTF, but tasan beat me to it :P
Failing 2 res in a row made me wanna just quit playing the mud period since enchanter xp is like running a xp marathon for days . . only to go from lvl 45 to lvl 46 :P
Now that my chanter's 50, I'm almost afraid to zone cuz dying and failing res again. I don't want to turn into another deshana.
But I was only posting for a color change on a failed res. I'm sure asking for less xp loss or !fail res is one of the many dead horses the big cheese won't ever address :P I just wish I understood why things that are addressed repeatedly by players don't seem to be replied to by the kind ppl who provide us this mud!

Because the constant griping until things are "fixed" has dumbed up the mud enough. There needs to be a penalty for death. The chance of failing res sucks. I've failed so many that I've gotten to the point where if I don't loose the level with the fail, I shrug. (My necro taught me this philosophy!!!) Its a game. The whole thing is a time sink cus its where we go to spend our FREE time. Besides.. they're working on 2.0 and every large change we ask to be made will be moot. We have no idea how such things will be handled when it comes up.
Enchanter xp sucks... but at least I can solo that doing interesting things. Heck, some day soon I'll pass my voker. In fact I think I have...
Please please please... changing something on failed res corpses would be lovely. I make a point of tossing a couple of preses myself on rotting corpses and knowing at a glance if its a failed would be lovely.

Hey! I resemble the comment, besides cleric exp is so stupid easy....back on topic or we can do like homeland when you look at a corpse could see how long it's pressed for and if it's ressable or not. But yeah color change awesome idea

I do wish that for player corpses, the pres spell would be more duration than 3xPlvl. I can see embalm for npcs for those who like victory trophy pets, but for players it's nice. Toss a couple and good for days. Pres'g players is a slow spell. When people are bored, they toss pres spells but most leave corpses in WD where lich can't embalm. Hrm, maybe a rotbox nearby hometowns..that area would be cool!
