Suggestion: suicide command

[zachary]

Sometimes, in this game, you get stuck.

Sometimes you get stuck _so bad_ that .u won't unstick you.

And sometimes you get stuck in places or times (eg. fort, or instanced dungeons, or during a siege) where using your book, a scroll, or /stuck twice to get to Norsca aren't possible or are less than optimal.

So I'd like to suggest /suicide, a command that will, if run _while you're not in combat_, and _after a logout-like timer_, cause you to die. This will definitely cause you to be respawned to a safe place.

The 'not in combat' part is to keep lamers from using it to cheat people of their kills.

The 'after a timer' part is further defense against using it, somehow, as an exploit.

Adding other restrictions is of course possible and may be desirable.

It just seemed like a fairly simple solution to quite a vexing problem.

This would be wonderfull to have. Just make it usable not in combat so some running noobs that crash gaem these days dont use it in combat ;p

It would be still exploited to avoid giving the enemy rewards, when you can't escape and will be in combat in a few sec e.g. zerg appears and no way to escape.

30 sec timer before instadead is still better than waiting for port no norska and flying back to boyz

Would be nice to have this quality-of-life improvement!)

Just add a 20s cast timer. Cast gets cancelled if damage is taken. problem solved.

In some stuck situations you can't cast. Ok a timer in general, like log out one, might be appropriate.

No need we already have a command for this situation. Close the game > log back in > on the loading screen (where you see the tome with the map info) type "/stuck" twice in the chat.
Youre supposed to do it like this: enter > /stuck > enter > enter > /stuck > enter. This command ports you to your book of binding location.

You want to do this during fort siege?
