Should dead bodies stay on the map longer?
« on: August 10, 2006, 05:47:57 am »
In stead of the bodies staying on the field until the person respawned I was thinking that they stay longer like for 3-5 minites, the bodies can be there for tactical coverage

True warriors know the destructiveness of power-and how and when to use it.

No, I think it's perfect the way it is. Often when I kill someone, I stay by his body untill it disappears. Then I'll change position, and he'll still think I'm sitting right there.. It's a brilliant way to get to the flag without encountering too many enemies. It is also the best way to camp, I might say.

I vote no...

You do know that those bodies are reused once they die, they dont just "disappear", instead, they get tele'd to the spawn and rearranged according to the normal standing .poa file (im assuming). So if they stayed there, Michal would basically have to re-code the whole spawning process, which i highly doubt.

BTW: This is in the wrong area?

Sometimes its good sometimes its not. But I think its perfect. Sometimes I'd prefer to see the body fly more.
But I do the same as Echo.

Tactical coverage?

tactical coverage is exellent in R/S. It's unusul, but not uneffective^^
My aim sucks.

It would be a lot of fun if they did, but I'd rather not deal with the lag.

Increase the spawn time. I don't like the gore as it is, all it does is get in my way. And it is useful to know when the enemy spawns due to disappearing gore.
