Demigods and death.

Kio

Okay, so instead of finding out the answers the hard way, I figured I'd ask before I go out and get myself into trouble by the internet crapping out on me again.

When a Demigod dies, do they still conglute?  (I assume yes)

Is Pheonix basically just "pray for salvation" for Demigods?

If I get disconnected and die on Prime, will I have to worry about losing a ball-ton of essence?

I just don't want to panic if it happens.  I'm way to excited about this

No. Phoenix replaces Conglutination.

It's an instant resurrection for essence, with cost depending on where you died.

Yes, unfortunately, but I think you won't lose demigod unless you die again.

Remember to get a good buffer before entering combat! Usually 5 million essence is the baseline buffer. I'd suggest 10 million, personally.

Not godrealms; Organizational territory (including villages) count.

That's why people like to raid godrealms.

You don't conglute. 

The costs to phoenix explained in the help file is how it is. 

I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you.

It's really not that big of a cost, really.

@Shedrin: Thankies!

Alban

It gets annoying when you die a few times in a row and you start thinking of each death as a time investment.

I honestly think losing xp/essence on death is one of the worst things about these games - all it is is greifing a person's free time. Each time you die it basically funnels part of your real life away. :P

I don't have a better solution in mind though.

Rezzing should be paid in wait time, not xp. There's your better solution.

Remember that dying in player enemy territory (not including godrealms) costs 5% of your total xp, minimum 500k, maximum 2mill. That's DYING, not phoenixing - vitae, rezz, whatever, won't reduce that cost.

Kio

What is player enemy territory anyway? I'm assuming its god realms/planes, rights?

Kio

What about the hives and prison?

Xenthos

Those are NPC enemy territory, so nope!

But they are Prime, so you have the full Prime phoenix cost.

That's how most games work. It's infinitely better than taking XP, I've just never been fond of the "you can't play the game for a while" method.

Imperian had this thing where they put you in the underworld and you had to find an object to get out. I think that was in addition to xp loss, though.

I'd like an option to sit in limbo until an xp debt is paid off. So if I die and would lose 2 mil essence, I can chill in limbo for 30 min and come back with no xp loss, or end it after 15 min and only lose a million, etc. And of course have it scale, so if I would only lose 200k essence, I'd chill in limbo for 3 minutes to leave with no xp loss.
