DavsDue Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 As the title says, we need a "cooldown" on the reviving of our friends while playing DST When a friend dies, you first need to get to him.Then you get something and it says (or you examine him and it says):1. Kill a Mandrake while it's raining, and come back to revive me.2. Eat 5 cooked red mushrooms, and come back to revive me.3. Make a mining helmet, and come back to revive me. 4. Get a pig friend at night, and come back to revive me. (Bhahahahaha)5. Hatch a tallbird egg, and come back with the Smallish Tallbird to revive me.6. Kill 27 Eyeplants, and come back to revive me. You get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battal Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Nah, I don't really like this idea. I think it would be much better if your teamate had to do something in order to be revived, so that they don't have to sit there bored while you complete a lot of tedious tasks. It's their fault for dying, not yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineProvidence Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm agreeing with Battal here, imagine if you had just died and now your waiting for your friend to complete this ridiculous task. Sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavsDue Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Maybe, the dead person, should spawn in a different world and complete tasks before they get revived? Every time they die, the tasks gets harder and harder to complete? And if you die in the "task world" you die forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you die in the "task world" you die forever?There's two ways I can say this: The Fact: SethR has said there will be a "ghost" mode where you have to reconnect to the world (or wait for a friend to bring over an amulet.) Dying and then being put into another world would cause too much of a tedious process and make people stop playing altogether.

spiritcrusher77 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Nah, I don't like it. Besides, I probably wouldn't do the task anyway. It would happen more like this: "Kill 27 eyeplants to revive me!"Me: "Eh... errrr...... I dunno, seems like a lot of work. Besides, what's in it for me? Somebody else will find you."

"Do not question it, rules of the afterlife-" "No, it's a logical question. Why a mining helmet? Why not...I don't know, some sort of sadist demonic ritual?" "..."

SquirrelPup Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If any task is going to revive a person, I think "Build a meat effigy" should be it. Also, perhaps activating a new touch stone could instantly revive one dead player. Another idea would be to require players to go insane in order to do some tricky feat resulting in pulling the ghost player out of the shadows. Going insane causes you to be attacked by shadows, so it makes sense that this could be a way to interact with the afterlife. Or you could combine these two things: require a player to build the effigy and then perform some ritual that requires insanity to work. Maybe throw a life-giving amulet into the mix. The best place to look for ways to revive a character are in the game's existing revival mechanisms. It would be nice if dead players could control a ghost in the mean time, which could give them some sort of limited interaction with the real world. For example, in Spelunky, dead players turn into ghosts and they can float through walls and blow on things, but that's all. I'm not sure exactly what effect ghost players should have, though if it requires insanity to revive them, perhaps they should be able to act like the usual ghost enemy and cause insanity in the living players by haunting them. There should be some other positive interaction though, like the ability to scout and talk. Anyway it should probably be rather difficult to revive someone from death. You wouldn't want it to be easy to repeat, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrelPup Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Perhaps ghosts could point out items to the living by using the action button. It could make the items glow or float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamiel Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Random tasks would not be particularly fun, but rather tedious. There are much better revival possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphKastro Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I don't think that making other players do stuff would work. That would only make some players that are playing "alone" in public servers just die and remain ghosts for a very long time, if they don't have any friend with them.
