Killed players tent location

[zorkmid 2]

It stands to reason that if a player had a map and a tent set up that he would mark the location on that map.

Perhaps when a player is killed, the murderer can check the map and see if and where any of his tents were.

This would increase the penalty for a long-lived characters' death exponentially.

It would be better and make more sense to just let people mark their own maps. And have those marks persist when the map changes hands. Then, when you kill someone, you can look at their map and see what they marked. If their camp is marked, lucky you!

I kind of like this idea. It adds challenge to respawning and getting back to your stuff. Especially if you're in a group and have a 'base' somewhere with all your precious loot.

Suddenly everyone is afraid of dying, because they may have NOTHING to come back to, and no more re-gearing.

If not for maps (not everyone needs to mark it, and could just remember coords) definitely for GPS. You could argue nowadays EVERYTHING digital is recorded somewhere. Hell, my iPad and cell phone are constantly updating GPS location or asking me for permission to. It stands to reason that the a players most frequented locations could be determined with their GPS unit. Then when you look at the Map and have someone elses GPS it has an overlay of where they spent most of their time.

Camps become less safe, snipers would need to find new nests, etc etc. It adds an entirely new dimension of competitive gameplay and strategy.

My basic goal with this is to make death more permanent. I don't like that you can just run back to your tent and get most of your stuff.

Maybe have your tent despawn more quickly after death?

As of right now, any notes you put on the map are viewable server-wide. Anyone with a map on that server will see them.

I completely agree with this, I hate marking a map to have the mark disappear randomly or for random other marks to pop up from other people. I think the coding would be difficult but worth it overall.

if you did this it would remove the entire point of having a tent.
