Recently, I have experienced a couple of problems with how long it takes for items that are dropped upon death to become public.

 

Due to semi-afking alot, I have unfortunately died a couple of times. Also, I am never completely AFK so i notice that i have died pretty much instantly due to having two monitors.

 

I have spoken to Postimees (I may be wrong), He/She said that they become global after 60 seconds, which is stupid.

 

I have two example's of why the current timer has problem's.

 

1. I died at infernal Mage's and instantly ran back to find out that my stuff was already gone, because it took me longer than 60 seconds to run back.
2. I died at the Cyclops at Warrior's Guild, which requires 100 tokens to enter. Its impossible to get 100 tokens in 60 seconds to get my stuff back.

I am not sure if this is just Classic mode or everyone, but 60 seconds is abit tooo quick, doesnt give a chance of running back anywhere.

 

Also, both of those times I lost Diamond bolts and Ruby bolts, which for some of us classics who didnt swap is hard to get.

 

So basically, increase the timer?

I think when you die there's this timer at the well timer, it says 3 minutes if I'm correct, not to sure. If this isn't the same as the timer in the corner then this should be adjusted and the same as osrs, although I have no idea what the timer in osrs is.

Thanks for pointing this out as i do not recall seeing the "grave/death" timer both times i died, so i am not sure if it bugged and instantly showed my items or not, may be something to look into.

 

Also, now that i think of it i am pretty sure that it bugged as im sure it didnt take me longer than a minute to get back to warriors guild, definately not 3 minutes.

I thought it was 2 minutes to retrieve your stuff back from the ground before it becomes public (since it shows a small timer next to the well/vote bonus as stated by sheep)

I would personally like to see the same as Osrs, but in saying that.. nothing really ever left the game which effect prices in the long term.

I was almost positive the stuff on the ground vanishes after 2-3mins of being dropped.

 

But yeah, that sounds reasonable and I get your point. I believe increasing the timer would do more good than bad.

If it is really 60 seconds it should be changed to atleast 3-5 mins, since that is about the time you have on osrs and should be ennough to retrieve your items when lost upon death. So if it is really 60 seconds right now and not 3 mins I say support

This ^It should be the same as on osrs. As for dying in warrior's guild, it's kind of your own fault for not paying attention.

Next time have 100 tokens saved in the bank if you feel like it's a recurring problem.

This has my support :) nothing more frustrating then losing items because your too late.

Isn't osrs timer very high ever since the lag issues began over a year ago?

[Classic m8]

Thanks all.

 

I am unsure if it is 1 minute or 3 etc, but i do NOT recall doing the death timer which has me believeing that it may have bugged, as i doubt it took me 1-3 minutes to run back to infernal mages.

 

I do think that this should be looked over and matched to OSRS, as many players are probably used to that.

 

Thanks again.
