Resurrection methods

Characters can be resurrected via abilities and scrolls.

• Class-based resurrection abilities allow greater recovery of experience debt than resurrection scrolls.

There will be scrolls of resurrection available, although there is an element of resurrection that's important as it relates to experience debt and being able to recover portions of that experience debt when utilizing higher grade resurrections that are only available from classes; and then there are lower grade resurrections, which are can be granted through items like scrolls of resurrection that allows for parties who may not have access to a resurrection class. – Steven Sharif

• Mass resurrection abilities may be included in Alpha-2.
  • Certain mass resurrection abilities will be conferred to vehicles, such as ships in addition to player skills.
  • They will be in-combat abilities.

Player death

Alpha-2 Player death and resurrection during the Beneath the Stone Shadows event.

Alpha-2 Player death UI.

When a player dies they disintegrate into ash. The ashes contain any items lost by the player due to applicable death penalties.

• These ash piles are immediately lootable by any player.

• Player flagging is not triggered by looting.

• Certain bags may have reduced Pvp looting times.

It might even be the case that their particular bag space doesn't have available location for a three-by-one log; and you're a lumberjack and they see you just chopping down these trees and you're like, there's no point in me engaging with this person, because I have nothing to gain due to my capacity. – Steven Sharif

• There will be a period of time following a player's death before their mule despawns. Other players must kill that player's mule to be able to loot it.
  • If the mule dies its corpse will contain the same percentage of lootable items according to the player's death penalties.

• Players do not lose gold upon death, no matter their corruption level.

• Glint looted from a dead character by any other player, regardless of affiliation, becomes stolen glint. Character's who loot their own bodies will recover their glint in its non-stolen state.

• Death by falling is possible.
  • Fall damage that occurs while mounted will be first applied to the mount; and if the mount dies as a result, then the remaining damage may overflow onto the player, but this will be determined based on testing.

• Death by drowning is possible.
  • Players that drown will respawn on shore.

Experience debt

Experience debt (negative experience) is a death penalty that scales to approximately 3 to 4 percent of the total XP for that level (subject to change based on testing). This was previously stated to be 2 or 3 percent of the total XP for a max level player.

We don't have deleveling, instead what we have is experience debt. Now the more experience debt you accrue, the greater the detriment to your character; not to the point where you can not get out of the debt. There will always be a way forward to remove your debt. – Steven Sharif

• Characters accumulate experience debt on death. This does not delevel characters, but does have detrimental effects until the debt is paid off.

Experience debt is the bite of not achieving success. If I die to a monster because my strategy was bad, because my performance was bad, because my planning was bad: all of that means that debt is the cost I pay for the bad choice. – Steven Sharif

• Resurrection skills allow greater recovery of experience debt than resurrection scrolls.

When we are talking about... the percentage of your level that is accrued as experience debt from death, generally you can expect that that's going to live around three to four percent of the level in accrued experience debt per death. However, additionally, there is a way to mitigate that percentage debt; and that is through the resurrection ability that's provided to Clerics. So, Clerics have the ability to resurrect their allies, and that resurrection will return a percentage that would have been accrued as experience debt. And that return percentage is predicated on the investment into the resability [sic], as well as the stat of the Cleric that is tied to the resurrection effect as well. So those can return percentages, so you can mitigate that to a degree. – Steven Sharif

• Maxing out experience debt for a level can result in roughly 20% stat dampening for that character. This percentage is expected to be highly variable.

• Experience debt decreases the drop rate percentages from monsters.

• Skill points accrue at specific XP milestones to avoid creating an imbalance with experience debt.

• Experience debt is paid down by the player gaining experience. This applies even to max-level players. Rested experience will increase the rate that the debt is paid back.

Q: Does experience debt at max level interact with rested experience? So, let's say I have experience at max level, will I be able to use rested experience to gain the experience back?

A: Yes. Rested experience is a modifier that occurs when you first receive the experience and then after that modifier happens where that experience goes to buy down the debt is what happens. So, if you have rested experience and you have experience debt and you go out to collect experience, you will be working that debt off faster because of the rested experience. – Steven Sharif

Respawning

Respawn point in Alpha-2.

Non-corrupt players always respawn at the closest active respawn point (to their death).

• Corrupt players respawn at random locations in the vicinity of their death, not at regular spawn points.
• There will not be custom respawn points that can be placed in the world.
• Events in progress may disable certain respawn points in proximity to those events, which might cause players to respawn further away.

That has to do with the lore behind death and resurrection and what it means to have your soul connected as a conduit of that spark of life given from the Goddess of Creation, being that phoenix type of avatar; and if corruption has moved into an area and an event has started, the access to those ley line oriented respawn points may be obscured- might not be accessible. So that could create some additional distance that needs to be traveled as part of these types of events. – Steven Sharif

Removing corruption

Esta tradução pode estar desatualizada

Arte do conceito de cemitério por Tad Ehrlich.

O principal meio para remover a corrupção é através da morte. Mortes múltiplas podem ser necessárias para remover toda corrupção.

• Morrer remove uma parte significativa da pontuação de corrupção de um jogador.
• O ganho de experiência também reduzirá lentamente a pontuação de corrupção de um jogador.

  Isso cria uma experiência divertida para que os caçadores de recompensas tentem pegá-lo enquanto você está trabalhando para se livrar da corrupção – Steven Sharif

• Missões podem ser utilizadas para reduzir o numero de abates (PK) de um jogador corrompido para que ele acumule menos pontos de corrupção no futuro.
  • Faz parte do design uma busca religiosa sendo usada para reduzir diretamente a pontuação de corrupção.
• A duração da corrupção é reduzida nas bases militares.
