new idea, getting a hardcore char back to life

[Copro]

we were playing hardcore with a budd the other day and he died
i said as a joke "come, if i gather your tombstone and we do a ritual, you can be revived"
then, the joke turned into a good idea

for geting someone back to life (with a hardcore char) you will need

the tombstone
10 heart crystals
1 mana star
a copper pickaxe / axe / short sword (the basic stuff)

if world is hardmode, you will also need 10 souls of each

what do you think?

[Restless]

This is the most terrible idea I have ever heard. The entire point of hardcore is that it is hardcore. If you could revive a dead character it would no longer be called hardcore, and it would defeat the entire purpose of the mode.

FYI, Softcore and Mediumcore already exist. Play them if you don't want to deal with Hardcore character deaths.

[Aghyzuth]

This would and would not make sense. A it is only for multiplayer, a lot of people cant play it.
B. the fact that it needs the dead players tombstone to craft, what if the tombstone falls into a lava pit in hell?
and also usually suqqestions like these are posted to the terraria forum not here!

The fact that everything here is so easy to get is also a pointless endeavor, as, if you were to post an idea like this, it should require multiple things that are hard to get, and only work in hardmode. Maybe it requires solar fragments or maybe even a drop from the cultist thats a 1% chance drop.

Also, as mentioned by Restless, your idea is a conveluted version of mediumcore. Hardcore is ment for one run and one run only. Once you die, you die. It makes for a compleatly different playstyle, where mediumcore is just a time trial after death. Maybe if you can get a mod made where when you die, you start back up with 50 hp and your body is in a specific location and you need to get there to get everything back, and if you die with that second life, your dead for good.

Now that is a good idea.

The tombstones would need some heavy re-coding to actually drop the "Custom" item, though.

It also makes it all no different than Mediumcore; just have a person leave after dead and come back after the items were thrown into the trash (emulating the whole idea).

However, Sonic.exe does not derail/hijack/spam threads.

wait thats wrong when you pick up tombstones they say tomb stone and loss all records of the person that died!!

I think it totally defeats the purpose of hardcore mode.

uhm, so lets see

maybe the ritual could involve some boss fight
like
you get the materials
you try to revive the person (wich, by the way will start in "new char" point, it won't actually save your hc char, you loose it, it would be more like to "restart" your char file instead of deleting it)

and, also, try to imagine a world with multiplayer... official mp, where your char files won't be on your desktop, but insted on a server

also, i play tons of hardcore, and when you get a party of 8 people, where 2 of them die right like away, where do you get that much heart crystals? (new world, new chars)

i know that in your little minds you think "hardocore mode would be dead" cause that's not it
just a game mechanic, that if you don't want to use, fine, but it would surely make the game richer

thanks for your comments, and... where are terraria forums?

Isn't that the same as simply creating a new character?

[Banzai]

I think they should add a "super easy" mode that's actually brutally hard and deletes your game when you die. Makes about as much sense.

i guess so... but without logging off... and also, ritual?
like, imagine the RP value of

in a raini full moon night
cast a blood moon
dig a hole
put the tombstone
cover it
put a shadow chest on top of it
get all the ingredients inside
boom, now the tombstone is made of light... get the little ghost to that light... it's like, being bourn again =)

You could just emulate it. Take the tombstone and the items, trash them, and tell the person to relog.

The ghost only appears to their user.

well, i think i could emulate it, but what happens when you are hosting xD?
you have to log off and everyone gets off server
that's a problem sometimes

but, well, i just imagined it would be fun =D

If you are hosting a Hardcore run, you should host it via the dedicated server.
