What should happen at a draw in the wilderness?

Post by Mike » Mon Jan 06, 2014 3:23 pm

Sometimes, two players kill each other at the same time in the wilderness. For example, two players hit each other at the exact same time, or one player kills the other but then gets killed himself through poison, vengeance, deflect, recoil, retribution or wrath.

What should happen when such a situation occurs? Should both players receive each other's items, or would both players be able to retrieve their own items?

Bonus question: what should happen if player A dies, but several seconds later, poison kills player B? Should it still count as a draw or can player B retrieve his own items?

Bonus Q: If they didn't eat in time, so poison killed them, the other person should get the loot.

Then the question is: how long after player A died should he still get the loot for the death of player B (provided the poison killed player B and nobody else attacked him in the meantime)?

Well, technically he still killed him regardless of how long it has been, so I'd say as long as it takes. Once he leaves the Wilderness though, Player A's loot becomes his own again anyway because the game no longer views him as dying to Player B.

The way it works now, is that once player A respawns, his 'damage dealt' to player B is reset to 0. Therefore, if player A respawns and then player B dies, it will count as if player B killed himself.
However, I'm not sure when I should reset the damage dealt to someone. Perhaps once he leaves the wilderness or logs out?

I'd say the same amount of time you get to reclaim your fire cape, thus like 2 minutes after the fight? By that time the person had more than enough chance to run/teleport to a bank and get food.

Only if the timer resets as soon as you find another fight.

Both get each others items. It's only fair that way.
