Icon Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 This is what happens...a player dies- dies to another player- dies to starvation, npc death or darknessnow this player is a GHOST- sanity drain on all other players, eventually killing them all if the ghost stays in gamenow, on a PVP server, this is broken. - 1 or 2 ghosts waiting to be revived, only to die again within 2 days, are ridiculous- in 3 days time that ghost has already nearly killed all the remaining players (even those wearing top hats)>> you can sleep, yes... this works, we're talking a tent per player and a huge drain on food, yet again, leading to death and server wipe.Scenario:1. Join Public Server, 5/10 Players, SanFran Survival - Day12. 1-2 players die (yes on Day1... happens constantly) and they sit in ghost mode3. Everyone else eventually dies because of ghost(s) and sanity drain Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/49111-surival-ghosts-sanity-drain-is-pvp-grief-dedicated/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterChan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well in every survival game i'v ever played there are greifers, A solution to this would be server moderators.

rezecib Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 @Icon, Survival PvP just doesn't make any sense. As for the Survival non-PvP dedicated servers, *shrug*. I think it just needs votekicking to work, but personally I don't think Survival will ever work particularly well on public (and especially dedicated) servers. My impression was that it's intent was more towards people wanting an experience closer to single-player to play with a known group of players.

Mysanthil Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Survival PvP is slow suicide. Anyone dead hurts everyone else, so if you kill someone, you're hurting yourself. You kill someone, they will start draining your sanity as a ghost. If you manage to be the last one standing, it'll be you at zero sanity vs shadow creatures until you die and the world resets.

Edit: Okay, so Endless PvP without the portal revival. If you have control of the server, you could just delete the portal.

Rellin Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I solve this issue by not playing Survival. I don't understand why everyone plays Survival exactly because of the ghost sanity issue. I play Wilderness either with or without PvP. That way, dying actually means something to the person dying, and not everyone else. I would only play Endless if I was looking to play a very noob friendly game.

Survival is the closest mode to single player, since you lose the world if you all die with no way to revive.
