Update [June 24 07] - dead people

* Exorsism now works on ghosts with a body and as before, has a range of 50 tiles and works anywhere in fel, not just champion spawns.

* If you log in and are dead with no body, you are teleported to the nearest shrine

Even WITHOUT using exorcism people are teleported away!? ahhhhhhhhhhh no more for warning raids on everyone doing vader.

It was pretty funny when i raided 4 of them with Dropkick the other night. Afterwards I was stealthing in luna and one of them said "We can't do a champ spawn, that damn dropkick has a camera everywhere." haha

Yeah I was meaning to do something to stop ghost cams just never bothered till it was brought up. I personally don't have huge issues, if I see a cam and don't want a raid, I find another spawn, but to make everyone happy, it will be hard to ghost cam now, if impossible. Eventually I'll turn exorsism into a rez spell instead of animate dead.

Yeah I was there doing that Vader too. I'm glad you waited for us to kill him first. We had already died too many times that I would have been pissed otherwise. The raid was kind of funny though. I recalled back to drop my scrolls and stuff and then went back for some gold, and I see you running around chasing everyone. I just recalled back and opened a gate telling in party chat to run through my gate if you want to escape. I went to do a champ later with the same group and they were saying that yes... that you are watching everywhere hehe.

I thought this kinda benefited all players. Got lost exploring and got WTFPWNT by a balron? Just log out for a bit, then log back in.

But, of course, this is going to be abused somehow.

I kind of like this update actually. I mean I don't care about the raiding and PKing, but when there are a bunch of accounts and characters dedicated to seeing where everyone is, it takes the challenge out of raiding, and more challenge into simply doing a champ. I can see this from both sides, but the people raiding and PvPing seem to want more people to go to Felucca, well if they think less people are watching them then it will happen. It adds more activity to the raiders to actually have to hunt people down this way.

Well the way I see it, if you don't have a body you need to get back to loot, what's the purpose of remaining a ghost? You don't have a body to go back and loot and nothing's going to attack you so you aren't really serving a purpose in that form. The only thing I can see is you remain a ghost to spy on something or go bug somebody.

Yeah and as for abuse, you'd still have to wait a full half hour before the teleport, so its much faster taking the time to go rez. So yeah, you can ghost cam, but for half an hour max. You'd have to activily get rezed over and over to always have a body. At that point, you may as well just run not dead and check each spawn.
