You shouldn't LOSE all your defs that cost power when you log out (or worse, lag out.) Or entities. Or SLIGHTLY more arguably enchantment things.

You just shouldn't. It's WRONG.

Thorgal2005-04-05 18:48:51
So...you want to keep all your defs forever and ever?
Shiri2005-04-05 18:50:10
Not when you die.
Terenas2005-04-05 18:50:45
You should still lose your defs if you got d/c, that's the same as quitting or dying. But lagging out doesn't make you lose your defs the las time I checked.
Thorgal2005-04-05 18:50:54
Ah.

Dunno, ask Roark if it's even feasible, I mean, even shops are apparently killing the memory.

It does to me. ALL THE TIME. That's why I bring this up. I hate hate hate losing it when you lag out. And since it'd be the same as quitting, I sort of have to propose that it doesn't work when you quit either, otherwise people would deliberately lag out rather than quit sooo eh.

When you die, you should lose stuff, but it just shouldn't be this way. I don't know why it even is.

And...oh. Yeah, I see what you mean, Thorgal. Sigh. Okay. :/

set your timeout higher. So when you d/c you can reconnect before they go away.
Shiri2005-04-05 20:00:11
Not the case. When I disconnect, even if I get in again in 10 seconds, 80% of the time I've still lost all my defs.
Silvanus2005-04-05 20:37:27
Get a better connection. If you want ot kill out lag, then the code has to have less to remember (shops = laggy).
Shiri2005-04-05 20:43:24
Well, it could retain it 30 minutes after quitting. (This would also work for people changing over computers at school or something.)
Richter2005-04-05 20:44:57
Good idea, but again, is it feasible?
Shiri2005-04-05 20:58:19
Possibly. I admit I hadn't thought of that part of things. 30 minutes seems a lot more reasonable though. Huh. Anyone Up There have any idea?
Genos2005-04-06 00:06:01
Everytime I lag out I never lose my defs, and at certain times when I manually disconnect without typing "quit" I still have my defs for a while. Maybe I'm just special. tongue.gif

In Imperian you keep all your defenses if you die. Your defenses never disappear unless they are stripped, or you log out.
Shiri2005-04-06 00:12:56
Well it is possible then. Can't we have that hear? *flutter Divine*
Singollo2005-04-06 00:45:50
Its pretty crappy to lose something like drawdown which takes 10 power and requires a moon to put up because your link dies or even if you died. I know in Achaea Viridian used to stay up past death.
Shiri2005-04-06 00:48:50
If I died, I can take having to put it up then. (I can't take dying to lag, but that's another story.)

But if on Imperian and Achaea things stayed up, why not here? angry.gif Lich does...
Sylphas2005-04-06 01:06:40
Even just keeping Stagform would be awesome. And that's not nearly as annoying to lose as Drawdown, because you don't need nighttime to Stagform.
Shiri2005-04-06 01:07:32
Right.

(Possibly my Faeries too. halo.gif)

You reach out and touch the Megalith of Doom.
The power of the nexus is at 274047.


Just get more power, its not like the extra rations would hurt your nexus.
