KO into leech death

Pretty likely every pvper worth their salt is quality pumping leeches for this activity as we speak, which defeats the purpose of KO>hearthfire in general. Simple workaround to avoid this issue would be to make it impossible to equip items onto a KOed hearthling. There's basically no reason that someone would need to equip items onto a KOed player other than leech deaths anyway.

Signed, I had sorta just assumed jorb prevented this shit from the beginning but whatever.

Ehn, they're only two guys and they don't have time to play the game as fully as all 150+ of us do. It's what we're here for, to catch what they miss.

Leech death has been off the radar since they removed murder, it's been a while.

+1 didn't know this was a 'feature'. It's a cowardly way to kill someone.

necro bump.

I suggest leeches fall off when you travel to your hearth fire

It seems unreasonable for a nab to be expected to know these obscure mechanics, and even moreso for them to think of it immediately after they've been KOed in PVP for the first time. Moreover, three people have mentioned in realm chat over the last few months that they have died to PVP after hearthing. Two of them did not even realize it was because of leeches until after it was thoroughly explained to them, so it seems counter-intuitive enough to where the casual audience won't even notice it of their own accord after it has affected them in a major way.

On the other end of the spectrum, even a forgetful high-tier player will never die to leeches, since private clients have always had auto-drop leeches, and now even public clients do.

P.S: let me put snails on people's feet so when they get up after being KOed they slip on the mucus and die to the concussion

Is this still a thing? Sounds terrible and should be fixed.

yes but nobody really does it because you can take them all off before they tick and damage you.

takes about a month to make these deadly leeches. You will lose them no matter if they work or not. not worth it tbh. You do not even get to see the guy die.

its very expensive way to kill someone, because u have to spend alot time to get high Q leeches, and ull lose it when target hearth to fire

Extend the time it takes for leeches to bite or make the damage depeding on player constitution
