Windows Vista: Random Respawn after Death
Posted: 29 Oct 2009, 04:21
October 29th
Client Version 0.0.29.1 for Windows (no patch)
I was in the graveyard, battling some skeletons and such with Necromokron and a few others. Dying, I fled the graveyard, heading for the caretakers hut, whereupon I was killed by a Fire Skull or something that was hiding by the entrance. I got some *cough* funny *cough* death message and hit okay, expecting to appear in the centre of Hurnscald, or maybe (I'd been in the arena earlier) at the Soul Menhir in Tulimshar.
Imagine my surprise when, yes, I did appear in Tulimshar, but rather than at the Soul Menhir I was behind a house. Same map, further to the east, the first house you see when travelling in that direction along the path from the Soul Menhir.
Necromokron, who had also died, and me went down into Tulimshar Mine for some reason (I dunno, I was just following him) and everything disappeared due to intense lag. I restarted my client. Once the monsters had appeared, I called them to me with the Aggravate Monster spell and waited 'til I died. This time I appeared in Tulimshar Marketplace, in front of a stall.
It may be that somehow my saved spawn location was removed, and so I'm getting a random tile on the starting map. That's the only thing I can think of.
~I'm not going to touch a Menhir just yet... I'll see what happens.
