Character dead by summoning
by chivoloco » Thu Nov 14, 2013 1:52 am
Today I tried to summon one of my alts to another location. He died instantly on sight for no apparent reason, he was good on hp and all. Any ideas on what might have happened?

Still this fixes some wall jump bugs so I support it. Also you can kill a griefer without leaving scents so there's that

Can someone point me to where it was announced / stated please? I'm tired after searching through all W7 announcement threads and not finding it...

It wasn't in an announcement thread. It was brought up by ramones after the update.

I'm a newbie, could someone explain me what's the point of this update?
Isn't it a bit extreme to make force summoning cause the death of the summoned??

because people abused it as a free teleport.
i dont find it "extreme", you summon perps to punish, not to easily send friends and/or alts to your favored locations.

The point of summoning someone with criminal scents is to murder them and loot them. Only the most vicious and dastardly criminal actions leave summonable scents in the first place. Even then, you need to be able to access the character's hearthfire or they must have no hearthfire. No small obstacle.
The problem arose in that people would abuse random placement from teleports to walljump and then use scents to bring all of their friends into a base. This let one person drag an entire army into city walls. Walljumps are bad enough but one person isn't nearly as bad as an entire raiding party.
Almost everyone is unaffected by this. The only person who are affected are people misusing the mechanic.
