Safer Roads: Immunity on arrival/waylaying.

[Lunarius_Haberdash]

A simple change that I think would make roads a bit more friendly for combat, without making it "safe"

When you teleport, you have 5 seconds on arrival in which you're immune to any attacks, but you can still be aggro'd.

This makes it so that if you get ambushed, there's a chance for the screen to load, but NOT a chance for you to just 'hearth away' before anyone can attack.

A simple (I presume) status would do the trick.

No one gets away safe, they're still grounded with the aggro No-Hearth, but nor do the ambushers get an unfair advantage by attacking during screen load.

Any problems with this?

Would make it fair with loading screens.

[Lunarius_Haberdash]

That's the only thing I hoped to fix with this suggestion.

The attackers will always have an unfair advantage. But what can you. This should help a bit at least.

[Neon14]

This is a good idea.

This'll be a dumb question, But how will defenses and "coin stacking" work within this 5 second period? If someones screen doesnt load for say, 3 seconds after using the TP (Which happens quite often to others) would it not be unfair for the attacker to already have defenses up?

The ambushers will always have an advantage but this change would move the fight from extremely to slightly unfair. I like it.

I would think that aggro'ing would be possible, but they would have an immediate cooldown of Base+Time left on Immunity Status

So if someone aggro's you immediately on being waylaid, they'd have (5 seconds + the base aggro) cooldown before they could initiate a move. The defender would just have the status delay.


Simple really.

Regarding the ambushers having the advantage? Yes my friend, that *IS* the point of an ambush after all.
