Question - Corpses poofing

[nebulous]

I'm consistently seeing my corpses poof from zones and not summon in Lobby. I'm using the camp on death option in KA. Has anyone else seen this issue occur or have any suggestions?

 

[Maskoi]

are you camping out?

 

[Meistro]

If you don't collect your corpse before the rez timer expires, it will go "poof"

 

[runordie]

also the timer still expires while on character select screen so just camping out might not be enough

 

[nebulous]

are you camping out?

I am camping out. I came back to all three of my crew at character select screen and all corpses were MIA and unsummonable.

True, but don't corpses last longer than their res timers? I was away from the computer for less than three hours anyhow.

 

[Maskoi]

unless they are naked they should last 3 days at least

 

[nebulous]

I'll set up shop again with campondeath turned off to see what happens if/when I wipe again.

I'm wondering if a change was made and corpses are poofing now when the res timer expires.

If this is the case, could there be a 'camp to desktop' on death?

 

[Meistro]

I'm wondering if a change was made and corpses are poofing now when the res timer expires.

Yes, I believe they made that change when they emptied out shadowrest (corpse holding zone). Corpses will expire when rez timer is up (seeing as they SHOULD be naked).

 

[nebulous]

That's logical. Maskoi, what do you think about a camp to desktop option in afk tools? It seems like the only way to preserve a res timer.

Nice! Thanks man.

I still losing corpse even when I haven't camped out. have even seen them disappear infront of my eyes as I zone back to campfire. been having it happen since started using MQ2 just live with it now
must be the only guy whos toons lost levels during the past 17day dble xp run, my tank lost that many corpses hes down just over 2 lvls.

/hidecorpse off

I'll bet you been hiding them when you hide npc corpses. Just a hunch

 

[ctaylor22]

/hidecorpse looted is not your friend. Try /hidecorpse none. Leave the zone and then come back.

 

[Eltai86]

Can also just use /hidecorpse npc, it will hide all mob corpses but keep the others visible.

I had high hopes for this, but I came back this morning to my puller camped to the character select screen with a poofed corpse. Has anyone else tried this change?

- - - Updated - - -

Actually I realized I never reloaded mq2, only quit and restarted the macro. Will report back after some newer deaths now that I've closed/opened mq2.

 

[Warl0ck45]

Aye, just camping to character selection will still run the corpse timer, and corpse will now poof after timer runs out. Makes the lobby a much cleaner place......now if only they would just reset the lobby hourly....

 

[nebulous]

Maskoi,

I have changed the sub to /docommand /camp desktop

but the characters are still just going to character select. Just had another wipe while I was in the shower and came back to everyone @ character select.

Any suggestions to make this change work?

 

[Jackei]

It's a drastic measure but have you tried /docommand /exit ?

 

[nebulous]

May as well try it. Just lost another set of corpses.

Switching to /docommand /exit was even worse, as I woke up to all of my characters standing in PoK this morning with exipred res timers and corpses gone. This is getting really frustrating.

 

[Sum1]

You may want to switch to an easier spot if you're dying this much.

Well, with the issues you seem to be having, MY suggestion would be to find a quieter safer place to set-up camp...

or set an alarm and check in ever 4-5 hours...

 

[nebulous]

Yeah, I am having a large amount of deaths. I'm working on that. Was in an easier camp last night, but apparently got trained. I'd still like to find a fix for this. Deaths are going to be a part of the equation with KA. As it stands, any death means experience loss if I can't get back to the computer.

 

[Warl0ck45]

may need to put in a bigger delay before sending the camp commands, since you are zoning into PoK (or lobby) sometimes the load time can be extended, especially when doing multiple at the same time.

This sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure where I would edit with a delay, though. I see the 40s timer, but that looks like it's just a trigger to end the macro after the camp command is sent.

 

[ctaylor22]

I don't see your ini file listed, so I am assuming you have CampOnDeath=1, and RezAcceptOn=0 in your ini files. CampOnDeathTimer is set to 10 minutes when you zone from not getting a rez.

 

[nebulous]

I actually have RezAcceptOn=1, but generally it'll be a puller that dies out of range of rez capabilities, or a total wipe. CampOnDeath=1 is correct.

I guess the timer isn't an issue then.

 

[ctaylor22]

If you set RezAcceptOn=0 will keep the character from trying to click back to camp and then trying to camp. It will just camp out if CampOnDeath=1. Make sure you have made the changes suggested by Maskoi.

 

[Meistro]

Could the changes they made to

/q

affect how the

/docommand /camp desktop

works?

 

[nebulous]

Issue remains unresolved.
