Report 1240

Report #1240
Skillset: Skill: XP/Essence_Drain
 Org: Illuminati Status: Completed Oct 2013
Furies' Decision:
Sol. 1
Problem: With the phoenix/reincarnation/conglutinate change from 1168, dead
players spend a longer time as a soul for the sake of group combat balance.
While the overall result is positive, there is an unfortunate sideeffect of
costing the victim more experience loss/essence than necessary given that the
tick for xp loss occurs even while "locked out" of phoenixing/etc. This is
especially more pronounced when fighting guilds that happen to capitalize on
mana kills and/or have the ability to drain large amounts of mana before killing
the victim. This is unnecessarily punishing given the high costs of death
(especially while in enemy territory). This report seeks to change this.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Make the xp/essence loss ticks only drain when the
 victim is able to phoenix/reincarnate/etc once again.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Solution 1 and increase the death timer by 30 seconds
 to balance this improvement.

I agree on the unnecessity of xp/essence loss, so I like solution 1.

I'm not opposed, but this seems like a petty concern. Essence/xp are really easy
to come by.

I think it's a pretty reasonable concern. Supported.

Easy to come by yes, but most here are rather prude about losing essence/exp in
almost ANY form, hehe!
