make the loot appear for 10mins for the person who died and after that everyone should see it

If that were the case, there would be no risk at all fighting Corp. With this amount of DDOS this 2mins is pretty sad.. Should be 10 mins untill this DDOS problem is solved for good. After that the 2mins is alright.

These interruptions are lasting only a few seconds so that shouldn't be an issue. I myself have had multiple interruptions between 1 to 2mins.. And that time line would make it impossible to loot with 2min timeframe.

You can login like 1 second after an attack. Mod Reach was able to run back in +- 35 seconds, and they offer you 2 minutes to get back and take your items. Do the math. I don't see any problems.

I ran it yesterday from falador with the 1 minute did not dc i died and ran straight to bank grabbed necklace teleported there and still lost half my items trying to get them back. Was this test performed from all 3 respawn points? And some disconnects it took me literally 2-3 minutes to get out of some of them while others were a few seconds again its totally random.

So i'm assuming when the server issue is resolved for good, the game will go back to normal. By this I mean that we wont have these 'gravestones' and loot will appear instantly?

Yes if that is what the community wants.

I really love what you're doing with this, but I have one question... What happens if your internet dcs or you cant get back into the game because of server ddosing, it's not going to be possible to have a friend pick up your loots, then? I've had 2 situations where I've had to have clan mates go and get my dhides and things I lost on death because I was not able to log back on, and I'm worried to go if no one can pick up my stuff now.

In most scenarios where you are not disconnected and then prevented from logging in you will be able to retrieve your own items with ease in the two minutes (Mod Reach timed running back at around 35 seconds). Our hope is that this change will discourage any attacks on our network to prevent disconnecting being an issue to begin with. It is so obvious you do not actually play this game. Sometimes these disconnects will freeze up your account for over 5 minutes.

I understand there needs to be a risk when fighting corp, but giving us 2 minutes to return to our loot from being ddosed doesn't work effectively. Yes, it takes a lot less than 2 minutes to return to your death(if you are connected to your character and you don't disconnect), but when you die from a ddos it's not the same. Many times the world gets hit off for extended lengths of time, sometimes for more than 2 minutes. So by the time you are able to reconnect to the server and log in, your account has already died and been dead for more than 2 minutes, and your loot will have already appeared to everyone before you even get a chance to return. Changing the system mechanics to make it so you must be logged in for any loot or dropped items to appear is very effective in countering the ddosers, so nice work there. One alternative temporary solution I've thought of is to make a script(similar to world tracker scripts clans use) that finds out when a large number of players in a world drops dramatically in a short allotment of time. When this happens, run code that allows different death mechanics to temporarily take place, which would allow the ddosed victims in that world to retrieve their items properly.

I understand that the Corporal beast is not a 'safe' haven for us PvMers, I have not got a problem with the 2 minute timer as I can clearly get all my untradeables back within 1.5minutes anyway, But what I am concerned about is while these attacks continue, a lot of people will still lose their untradeables as the servers are going down for litrally 2-3minutes at a time(this is including the lag spike before disconnecting completely)
