Sanya Thomas Q&A

Sanya has posted up her “Friday Q&A” on Camelot Herald, answering many recent questions players have had about DAoC:


    Q: I’ve been leveling out on the frontier on those tasty purple monsters, and I was still a little bloody from the encounter. Then I died on the frontier to a player, and I lost experience and constitution. WTH?

    A: This is intentional. If you are down so much as a single hit point from monster damage when you are killed by another player, you will lose exp/con. It seems unfair, but the alternative is more unbalancing to the game people would fight monsters, and if it looked like they were going to lose, they’d suicide on the nearest guard and gain risk free, no-loss experience. Leveling on the frontier is not meant to be risk-free the possibility of someone taking advantage of your weakened state is a clear and present danger. The other side of the coin (enemies using the native fauna to cause you to suffer) is considered a tactic. It’s not terribly NICE, but war. isn’t.
