Combat upon spawning?

Post by raindrops »

So I used a sign post to travel, and before my page could even load I was dead. Someone initated combat with me when my character had spawned literally with 2-3 seconds. My page had not even fucking loaded. I think that is just bullshit.

I am thinking maybe... you shouldn't be able to initiate combat as soon as someone spawns on a screen.

before people come being trolls~
I'm sorry for your loses, this world is harsh no doubt about it.

Dieing is the hardest thing, and for many the end of their adventure~
never to returning to the world of HnH~

Starting over however is not hard.
in fact starting over can lead to new understanding.
take the knowledge you've gain and begin anew.

................
abit of advise
create 2-3 toons~
1 for forging, 1 for farming, 1 for other.

get to know a village they might be able to pull you up on your feet quickly.

travel the world, this game has no set rules on how its played.

but leaving or quiting~
we never like to see that in our community :)

I agree with this. the solution however can be hard to make. namely on how the server reads things

Idk about travel through crossroads, but IMO you shouldn't even spawn into the gameworld until your computer has fully loaded you in

You should not be logging into a blackscreen which can actually last for 2 minutes for some people

+2 even. If we can't cheese animals we shouldn't be able to cheese players.

The old "You don't appear until you move or some arbitrarily long time" solution found in other games would work.

This!
Doing 'client didnt load resource' would just lead to people abuse it with clients. Simple timer or 'i moved im vulnerable' would work. (preferably mix of both so people cant afk scout/camp your roads while being invulnerable)

Guess the better place for this is the C&I now, hope Jorb sees it.
