Preview upon log in?

[Tacheron]

Is it feasible and would you consider allowing us to get a preview before logging in our characters? One of ours logged out while outside of the palisade and logged onto a boar. Thankfully it wasn't aggressive instantly, but a player camping your spot (or a nidbane sent after you) might be.

Just a thought.

Well, the system already sort of exists this patch with the "preview" of teleport. All it would take it to apply that to the login.... Maybe have a little etherial realm that you login to... and you have two portals. One to where you last logged out, and one to your HF. As it would then use the teleport system... it would give you a preview.

just log out in a safe location

It's not safe if there's someone camping your hearthfire.

Would be nice to be able to check for nigbanes before logging in =s

One similar game had it so that you were invulnerable until you moved or interacted with something upon login

This would help with some clients and/or slower systems/connections which actually log you in before properly displaying everything.

No I dont think so. Its one thing to preview an area your traveling to as you can rationalize approach and alertness. However in the case of log in you would diminish the power of both raiders and those seeking justice.

Fully agreed.

This is not just about safety, this is also about time. I often log in in the morning before I head to work to switch curios and, if necessary and if I have the time for it, light my smelter. I don't have the time for more complicated gameplay like combat at that point, or I'd be late for work. Would be great if I could postpone the more time-consuming stuff until my lunch break.
