Death Penalty

[Thalandor]

So a save game file does not seem to save you from death penalty which seems be that you are back in the main city, devoid of all items and needing to find your corpse to regain personal belongings. Except that sometimes your body appears for you to find and other times it does not. Also, storing things in your chests etc when you die does not seem to save them either. The only thing that seems to be always saved is where your are in you quest line and experience. Is this working as intended? And is there always supposed to be a corpse. Is there a corpse timer and if you die trying to get to other corpse does the old corpse body poof?

I do not care if I lose all the stuff so much but I do not losing valuable items I have stored at my home base or elsewhere.

this is my biggest issue also, needs more setting to let us choose the death penalty for single players and admins to choose for servers.

also why not spawn at your village after death way the main town?

i only play single player. really need to have it we die we drop our stuff that way we can go back and get it. it shouldn't be on a timer either we should have all the time we want to get back get our stuff. i died on one of the small islands i went back see if i could find my stuff i couldn't find it. or could have it in the settings we can change it we don't drop our stuff when we die. that way ones that want to lose everything when they die can the ones that don't want to can have it so they don't.

We were supposedly going to be getting the ability to save coins and items in chests in our villages that won't poof on death. They gave us tents to respawn at in this patch, but I didn't see anything about the other death penalty issues in the change log. Going to test it out and see after I eat, but we may be waiting another patch for the adjustments that were teased in Devblog#1.

I have not built any chests yet to store my things but if the items I put in a chest vanish if I die while away....that would be totally lame. Is that what you guys are saying?

[Thalandor]

Well the items stayed but money was gone. They are supposed to have fixed it with this new patch but I have not checked it out

They added a tent you can place as a spawn point. so if you get to an area that seems dangerous place a tent down first. that way you can now use the "Q" key to show a marker where you died and have time to get there.

Also place a bed in your village as a spawn point if you don't use a tent. I lost items I stored in the chest at the INN when I first played but not in chests I have in my village.

Thanks Blaze. That is what I was wondering about. I plan to test this tonight.
