i dont mind permadeath when swimming, i mind the patch notes specifically saying you will be knocked out instead of killed and them not being accurate.

upon testing criminal debuff + phlegm depletion KO while swimming does not result in death in non darkness areas.

darkness drain KO + no criminal debuff does not result in death.

darkness drain KO + criminal debuff does not result in death.


it appears only criminal debuff in the darkness while KO from swimming or just KO from swimming while in the darkness are the two possible dirtnap combinations.


so i guess the question is whether or not this is specific to darkness waters, or an unintended mechanic. another point of note is that the character in question while not on the character selection list does still have a claim on his lean to, i cant remember at the moment but i thought lean to's went unclaimed when their owner was killed?

is it possible that it was combined with someone destroying your leanto to summon your crime char at the right time?

Can't summon players(even those without homestead) when they are online and not in boston.

yeah, but here is a situation i imagine.
his leanto is destroyed by a ranger.
he got KO'ed by swimming and got ported to Boston.
the ranger summoned him at the very moment he was sent to boston.

Speaking of swimming KO (and any KO, I suppose), can this act as a 1-way teleport? Obviously its not too abusable, since what you can exchange this way is limited, but still not very nice :(

You lose all your items when KO'd, so why not just drop them and teleport back to base?
I never managed to figure out something clever for my signature on Paradoxplaza, and I doubt I'll do it here either.
