Salem

Frotted is getitng constantly beated on right now; and I'm honestly curious.

Zero blood KO... but as long as someone is beating on me non-stop I never respawn? It's been going on for 3 hours... I know when criminals get KO... they stay a long time... but settlers? Seriously Devs?

What exactly is the problem? If pvp you won't respawn unless the attacker choses to. If pve, it happens mostly with argo pelters but if you close the client and wait 45 minutes you will respawn

So you can't respawn unless the attacker allows you too?

That seems pretty screwed up.

Either kill me, loot me, rape me or whatever... but should be a set time limit until I can move on... regardless.

The constant beat down seems more like an abuse of the current code than a realistic, intended mechanic. Devs created stocks to punish criminals. Why allow others to do the same to innocents... scents are all the place as is... why should I be logged in for 3+ hours for no purpose on top of it? [u]Unless they are endorsing torture as a game mechanic?[/u]

I consider it a bug... I'm reporting it as such.

I hope the Devs will take note and do something about it.

OMG man! XD Its a mechanic that devs probably intended so the criminal can keep you on so he can loot your place in peace or call a murder char and finish you off. Just because you are getting rekt because of ignorance everything is bugged? lol

It takes 30-40 black bile to loot from a body, by drinking tea to restore you have all the time of the world to loot. Not a bug, you also have said time to call friends for help

It is probably an intended mechanic for the sole purpose of keeping someone in place long enough to get your murder alt there, but it (the mechanic) is nothing to be proud of, as is the alt-driven nature of salem.

LMAO... and all that effort to get rid of alts... yet this is the new norm?

Grats DEvs... on job not done.

It also allows one to hold an aggressor down, perhaps negotiating a ransom, or terms of release?

I was KOd once in Popham, and negotiated my release. A trade was conducted in town and I was released. How is this broken? Forcing the victor to either kill you or release within a specific time frame might end in your quick death rather than a satisfying end for both parties?

Why complain about EVERYTHING in the game, are their any aspects of the game you do enjoy?

??? YOU sound like queen8r...are you on of her toadies?

Plenty I enjoy about the game... I would not still be interested in playing beyond losing a toon if I did not think it was worth playing.

Are you all Democrats?... just saying it's a known political tactic- pick your own beef- say something nasty about it; but sub in your opponents name for I or yous.

That's what it sounds like me.

If you have a problem with the game... don't make it my problem; deal with it yourself.

I pictured you as a Democrat actually, with your 'change the rules because they are too hard for me' attitude.

And people call ME a carebear lol.
