aceface91 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Bug Submission: Category: Gameplay Issue Title: World ended when I joined during the reset timer Issue Description: I was playing on a server with another person and we both decided to go AFK. I left the server but he stayed in the game. He was killed by Beefalo so the world reset timer started because nobody else was on the server. During the timer I joined and had around 60 seconds to revive him but I failed to do so and the countdown ended. I was still alive and the world reset even though only one person was dead. Steps to Reproduce: When this was happening I was just running towards the ghost in an attempt to revive him. There was nothing I could do about the timer so the world restarted and sent us to the character selection screen. To cause this issue have only one person on the server to die then join the server and the world should have a reset countdown.

Developer SethR Posted January 6, 2015 Developer Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hey aceface91 -- this is actually how it's intended to behave: newly-joined players don't register as alive for the countdown timer purposes. In the next patch, the text on the timer for late-joiners will be a little clearer.

n0wt Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hey ! Was looking for some informations about that matter because it happened to me, and just found this post. Yet, i'm wondering... Wouldn't that be kinda bad on dedicated servers ? I mean, if the server's empty and then, someone join and die, that would mean the countdown will start from then. But in order to keep the world alive, let's admit this player disconnect before going to vacations...In order to preserve the map, server will have to be abandonned (or "freezed") until that player comes back ? Also wondering, which players are taken into account for the timer ? I mean, only those who where connected (and dead) when the countdown starts, or also those who where disconnected (but yet, still dead) when timer goes on ? Thanks for answers (hope there will be some xD) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/47560-gameplay-world-ended-when-i-joined-during-the-reset-timer/#findComment-609520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezecib Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 @n0wt, Hmm, so you mean this scenario?Pause when empty dedicated serverSeveral people play on it, then leaveOne person joins, dies, starts the countdown, then leavesThe server gets paused mid-countdownSome of the first people join and can't do anything about the countdown because the dead person is gone, but them being there unpauses the serverOutside of that, I don't think it's a problem. But... That particular scenario does sound difficult to solve. I made a suggestion a while back about ghosts leaving behind a grave or something instead of a skeleton (or you could just add this functionality to the skeleton), which could be given a telltale heart, equivalent to giving the ghost a telltale heart, but they wouldn't have to be connected. I think that would help in this situation by at least giving the returning players something they could do about the reset. (there were other parts of that suggestion too, like having the sanity drain attached to the grave instead so people don't want to kick players who die, and having an item that allowed you to locate graves) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/47560-gameplay-world-ended-when-i-joined-during-the-reset-timer/#findComment-609562 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survive 25 days, go away, get back, world gets reset. This is why I only go survival on non-dedicateds.

rezecib Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 @DarkXero, But I was talking specifically about pause-when-empty. There's a bad state at the end there that doesn't exist otherwise, or in your experience as you told it.

You're right, that's the idea, I think your proposal is a good one (until someone else find a better solution ) Thanks for your answer <3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/47560-gameplay-world-ended-when-i-joined-during-the-reset-timer/#findComment-609609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
