Death After Carrying Body

[gfya1369]

Will there be an option established to allow players to pay 500gp to have themselves raised after they encounter the carry a dead body and die bug? Since this is a scripting error and of no fault of the player it seems a bit unfair to make them take the xp penalty. Expecially since there is no body left for other to recover when the server resets.

What am I talking about? Example: You buddy dies and you grab up his body. Then you yourself die, but boom miracalously you are alive again. You carry your buddy to a temple and get him raised and whala.. the world is good. Now reset happens.... You try ot leave the nexus and utoh.. You have to go to the fugue plane? What?! Now you are stuck having to take the xp penalty while no body is in game for others to grab? Or is the body indeed in game to grab? Perhaps some answers on this for future occurances so players can be secure in their good deeds of trying to get a friend raised. Thank you for you time.

Without the glitch, you would be Fugued when you die anyways, so I think it kind of balances itself out.
In any case, we have people working on fixing this bug.

In the case a party loses one member and a second member then picks up the body and dies. The second member will regain full hit points while the body of the first member is lost from inventory. A party being 3 or more

Having an option for raising oneself would be abused by many who would log dead and come back to that pc next reset if thats what you mean.

The best bet is to be more prepared for it. If someone falls and there are like 10 spawns and things are dire. leave and get help. Picking up the body under duress is buggy as heck so even trying gets you worse off. Most places the baddies de-spawn as well.

Again im not sure about the technical aspects im just saying it hasnt happened to me in ages once you know how it happens.

I wrote this before reading Mr Rogers post and then grabbed a drink. in the case it takes a bit of time i think my post still relevant to help people prevent it perhaps?

Well true you would be fugued. But let's toss in a third person. That person could have grabbed both bodies and went to get them raised, or.. could have been a cleric and raised themselves. In the case of server reset, there is no body. Nothing to raise. No choice. Only having tried to help another only to now yourself be left with only the option of xp loss. Not a very fitting reward for trying to help. Due to this bug kind of makes it better to leave dead chars lay unless you have a raise scroll or cleric.

I can understand the possibility for abuse, as a former dm I can see the abuses, but i'd like to hope for the best from players and cut them some slack. 1k xp loss for trying to help seems pretty steep when paying 500gp would do just as well. Screen shots a must for ability to pay opt out gp would be needed. Unfortunately salaria aka angelina did not have any screen shots. She gracefully took the xp hit. Cudos to her
