Tekoneiric.6817 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Seeing some defeated players on Verdant Brink gave me an idea for novelty signs. Ones that say: Rest In Peace No Loitering Bad Spot To AFK Defeated Players Will Be Ignored Broken Event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veprovina.4876 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Haha, nice! I like it! Hopefully people have enough sense of humor left that they won't complain on the forums about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 It sounds like a nice idea, but I'm afraid people (aka trolls) would use it inappropriately, like the box o fun on top of a chest or npc. And if you were downed would you rather have the person that stops at your corpse rez you or stick a sign in you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the sign can do something helpful, then? Say, a slower than player rez, where you have to click to confirm the final bit that gets you up? That would also require it being attached to a dead body, but I see that as a good thing as it would keep people from dropping them just anywhere.

Having them as PvP finishers would be an easy way to use this idea, but let's think about PvE too.... I would have them controlled by the downed player, the easiest being to have one automatically pop up after death and lasts a few seconds. You would want to avoid excessive visual clutter, and the ability to get to clickables under the sign (like your dead character, or a chest). Completely unnecessary but a fun idea.

A sign doesn't need to be an interactable object like box o fun is. It can just be some glowing floating text above a dead player that goes away after they TP or rez. That would prevent abuse.

DeanBB.4268 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 There are different kinds of abuse. If the signs are unlimited, imagine a hundred of them blocking your view of whatever you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to make them where players interact with them. Just passive signs that last an hour. There are to many players who afk in wrong spots and players keep rezzing them only for them to die again moments later. We could just stick a sign over them and move on.

Randulf.7614 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I like the idea in principle, but they'd have to fix the potential for abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
