You can see if there is a character sleeping in a bed and my initial implementation allowed for anybody to drop a boulder on the bed smashing the bed and the character if they had murder. However, one who shall not be named on the dev team felt that there was hope still left for you Salemites and talked me out of it.

Holy ****.

Existing 10 minute and 20 minute timers to port have been removed.

TEARS
There is now a 20 second logout timer to leave salem. (Force closing your client won't save you and will cause you to take far longer to log out than had you logged out legitimately).

Since i was putting a 'timer' on it to avoid people running away from danger to couple with teh new logout timer, it seemed a bit too harsh to have a timer on the port AND a timer on how frequently you could port. If there is a strong faction that wants BOTH timers, I could always put it back so you have both timers but I felt in the end nobody is going to be teleporting massive amounts of goods repeatedly when they have 40+ seconds of waiting.


Sounds like you are catering to the raiding groups who have been massivly crying behind the scenes about being unable to mass transit goods through providance quickly.

EDIT: This revert personally makes my life easier, but i kind of enjoyed the timers, made me plan my trips better.

I can assure you this is not the case. I could make teleporting with scented goods not-allowed and not lose an ounce of sleep over it. I have no issue with the idea that raiders only take what they carry easily and/or use locally. But that 'problem' doesn't seem related to this one and as I said I still consider a 40 second port timer a huge pain for mass-transit.

Sleeping in the bed is the equivalent of being offline. So one can be summoned from a bed etc. etc.
