The Outlawed System Sucks

Postby bmjclark » Mon Jan 06, 2025 6:09 pm

And I'm sure all the people who stayed up for 8-12 hours last night waiting for the server to come back up so they could hearth their outlawed characters would agree. Server downtimes aside, it's still dumb that if you have an internet or power outage while you're out hunting or whatever that you either have to share your account info with someone or potentially die because your character will just stand out in the open until you can get back online. It'd be one thing if it was just red handed that kept you online but it's not. I'd much rather go back to the hearthfire summoning system from legacy (the one that instantly killed you when summoned to prevent abuses even) than the current system.

Red handed characters should be logged out in the event of a server crash

I agree, but honestly, even things like power outages and internet outages shouldn't be potentially killing people because they're left standing in the woods somewhere

Agreed, Legacy's system not only didn't have this power outage issue but also lended itself more easily to ranger style play which which we saw more of as well.

Yeah devs please replace Red handed by Godblessed and allow instant Hearthfire teleport while in this status and an immunity when the player is logged out.

I don't understand why I'm arrested when I steal my neighbors, this system sucks so hard ! Devs do something !

Not sure about rework or removal of current crime debuff, for me they seems like a small but fair price to pay for a crime commitment.

Although I completely agree that such interventions as server restart or crash should lessen the penalty of a crime, as it really endangers player in a way he not always can influence.
Server restart or crash should log off all characters.
