State Funerals

[DDDsDD999]

Felt like this deserved its own C&I thread for discussion

Personally, I am against state funerals. It is possible to gain back the majority of your stats through kingdom abilities (assuming the full body has been recovered). I think that the state funeral should either be removed, or it should be a replacement for the player's entire body. It should not stack with the player's buried body buffs, but instead it should be a replacement for if the body could not be recovered. The ability to regain like 90% of your shit after death is a feature reserved for Kingdoms specifically (rich get richer smh) as well. It's an insane advantage when fighting against groups without access to the Kingdom abilities. I'd like to see it as a replacement, but not an addition to the full body burial.

Basically, if there's a group fight and one group wins, even if they take casualties, they lose absolutely nothing, while the losing side gets fucked. There should be a little bit of come-back mechanics, and 90% refund if you have your body is just retarded in general.

While we're at it, I'd like to see some form of einher return, just because I thought it was cool, like activating super saiyan mode or something. It was stupid when we had tradition sliders and you could revive with more stats when you used it, but if we just maintain 30% inheritance as the maximum possibility, it shouldn't really be a problem. Just gave a certain come-back mechanic with windows of weakness and investment. Numbers for it could be tweaked obviously.

We agree with that observation, and are going to change them one way or another. I welcome the discussion.

I like the suggestion that state funeral should only be an alternative to not having the body, so you can still "bury" the person and allow them to gain back a portion of their stats even without it. I'm sure there could be something in place to prevent abuse such as performing the state funeral and then burying the body to receive both gains back.
