So I just found out first hand that other player’s can skin/harvest your corpse when you die, and it puts all your items in a lootbag and you have about 4 minutes to get back to your body and loot it or it all decays.
Why is this possible on a PvE Server? I mean the PvE players play on PvE servers where it says “Only Player can Loot Corpse” so that it’s not possible to lose our items due to another player’s actions, but on Siptah thats not the case.
This is really bad. It’s really easy to exploit this for griefing.
I think it’s supposed to make it say something along the lines of something Rigor Mortis something and not let you.
But yes that is an issue for sure.
I think that’s something else. Rigor mortis mechanics prevent you from getting resources by harvesting the corpse of someone who has already died too recently, but – as far as I know – they don’t prevent you from performing the harvesting action.
I have seen that Rigor Mortis on my own body after I have looted it (I always hide my shame of death) but it said I couldn’t. I’m not sure exactly why it did that.
If you keep harvesting it despite the RM warning, you’ll destroy the corpse. You won’t get anything out of it, but the warning is cosmetic and you’re still able to destructively harvest yourself.
Happens when you’ve harvested that player’s (or your own) corpse too recently. Assume it’s intended to avoid (or at least make it annoying enough to not bother) people farming deity resources by just dying in their base a whole bunch of times.
I remember the time I skinned all the thralls like a real barbarian and among them there was a dead player and I accidentally skinned him too on the pile of dead thralls. I was then able to loot the players bag, of course I gave all his stuff back and reported the issue.
That has been fixed, I tried it with a clanmate to see if the issue still persist but I could n’t skin him and can definitely not loot his corpse.
But you are right on this… I happen to skin another player by accident recently, told him there was a bag and that he has to be quick (offered to help him get his stuff back if he did n’t make it in time) but he was in time.
I thought maybe this is a one time only cause I normally get the “rigor mortis” notice. But now I see more people are having this issue.
Wierd thing is, normally the grave totem should still exist after you skin a player… and there should n’t be a bag.
As someone who regularly skins their corpses, the grave marker goes as soon as you harvest the body, and always has as far as I can remember.
