Alternative burial methods

[shubla]

Everyone knows that the mightiest (or wealthiest) of the warriors were sometimes sent to their last journey in a burning boat.
This should be added to HnH as well.
You should be able to put a dead body in a knarr, lit it on fire, and then watch it sail off and slowly sink.



It could give more stats back than what normal burial gives. But of course, burning knarrs is not that cheap thing to do.

A couple hours of work for even more stats recovered isn't relevant to a char which was probably a alt to someone who has literally thousands of hours stacked in grinded resources.

Bad idea, it wouldn't help at all the new player experience, just make the titans life less resource intensive to recover a warrior or artisan who got caught off. The new death system is already forgiving enough to old chars while not protecting newer ones at all as their HHP can get oneshot way too easily.

+1 but more larpy and less bonuses

what if different burial methods gave different results? like regular gravestone gave 30% all stats but being cremated gave more % on str/con with less other stats
and other stuff like the burning ship or pyramid or different gravestone or using the cremated ash in different ways

Problem is everyone splits their attributes between characters, so the different methods would be no-brainers. Plus only fighter characters die anyway.

For now...

Wouldn't mind ship burials and such for aesthetic purposes, if nothing else.

[azrid]

Consider boat shaped graves too.

yes, currently you lose too much stats when dying

and it sounds fun too!
