These changes have helped alot of people I guess.
But when the world Disconnects completely, if people die, log back on, they have no loot pile, which means they've lost their void/fire cape/fighter hat, or whatever other untradeables they may have had.

Also a quick question..

I died at Corp Beast due to me being silly, but made it back in time to get my items, but yet when I picked up my Berserker Ring, it was un-imbued, why?
Friends have died and lost their slayer helmets, run back to loot their pile, and their masks were still imbued, how could this be?

Rings lose there imbuement on death, it was a feature that was added to ensure that if you died it could be looted (either by the pker or in a boss situation presumably a friend). "When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself... first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time, as a great hero"

Thanks for clearing that up for me :) .

It's a shame it's even needed even though it's not the fault of the player they are still taking the risk of entering such high rewarding bosses if they die and loose their stuff then it's their problem and no one else's. *´¨)¸.*´ Kilot ~ Failed RuneScape player.

And it is the players fault how exactly when its a network issue? Are they supposed to pay for a game and then not be able to enjoy playing the game? I'm sure those who are dying from this did not pay a membership fee to stand in a bank and do bank skills.

sorry but im pretty sure a good amount of people knew about this, but this doesn't solve the world ddosing and us losing items.

let me give you a real example:

ddos begins
people die and world disconnects
people log out because of DC
run back, and cannot see our own stuff (because of the update you did to drops)
we lose our valuable items.


In fact, i heard one of the ddosers yesterday to a drop party for his clan (Anonymous community) which was worth about 100m.

put gravestones in like a majority of us want and we wont have this problem, i'm done wasting my time with a game that wont do anything about server security or proper death mechanics so the players don't lose their items to AN UNFAIR ILLEGAL ADVANTAGE!

Problem with grave stones is if you log out in the case of a dc your items pop right away any way i believe. So will not fix it. I think its beyond time we do away with the you drop items when you die mechanic in every part of the game but the wilderness.

nope, false & incorrect.

even if you disconnect, log out with an active (blessed or unblessed) gravestone, you can still run back to your items without a single problem and they do not appear for anyone else but you for that duration. GraveStones are legitimately the BEST method for this issue.

Well i wasn't 100% sure as i never logged out when i had died in the past so was unclear as to whether or not they would appear to those around if you were disconnected. Although would they be able to do this with the 2 minute limit they have on protecting items i wonder?
