I read in a post on "not dying", that one should make a logout-makro in order to disappear quickly in the face of a possible threat. Maybe add a button called "Hide" into the game and in the tooltip you can explain, that you cannot logout while in combat. Just a small change, but this would explain that mechanic to noobs like me and add a little more immersion. I mean, a panic logout is comparable to hiding. You disappear, are not able to see anything and have to ponder when it might be safe to peak again. And honestly, I dont know how to make a makro.

Hi to the forum, btw.

CTRL+Shift+Q to log out if you're using Latikai's client mod, easy.

Agree, tracking skill should have at least a black bile drain or higher phlegm drain than running.

There will most likely be a logout timer in the near future, preventing quick logouts. Thus this hide feature wouldn't fit well as its not our intention that you can run from your opponents simply by clicking the "X".

Allow pilgrims to marry each others and host a party in the church. People who come get gifts. The couple get gifts. If husband die, widow get his property. If she marry again the husband get everything.
You thought I quit.

Ctrl+Shift+A Is swap character, quite nice to be ready to log back in after you have "hidden" for long enough.

Please make the timer only happen if there is another character in sight. I wouldn't mind if you were unable to log off in sight of another person unless you were at your homestead. But I know this would be a PITA for people in towns.

Do you mean the new husband get everything? That would be a huge nerf for all female in the game if they choose to marry. My guess would be that no female characters would choose to marry.
