Brief explaination
There has been times when I was grabbed on Val'kyrs at the first few set of Val'kyrs and then when we killed him I was not eligable for the loot because I was most likely not in the same instance as you are when you kill Lich King. This made multiple people very frustrated and pissed off, not just me. And this has happened multiple times, you simply get out of range and is not in the same instance as the LK group.
Why do we need this?
Because of the policy we have, which should not be the main discussion in this thread by the way, staff members are not allowed/supposed to help out TW members when loot gets lost or when someone is no longer eligable for a certain loot item, unless it's the LK chest in the Shadowmourne quest chain. So just for people to be able to complain less, I believe staff should put more resources into making it babyproof to make players NOT be able to ask for loot assistance if staff is not going to help out to spawn items.
What are our options?
Do know that all these options are meant to work in theory and might not be implementable into the script. I for one believe anything could be implemented just depends on how much energy developers wants to put into it.
Option 1: Freeze the player
Once the player has reached a certain Y value (Figure 1.) the player simply gets frozen and velocity is set to 0 (if that is how movement is calculated in WoW, I am not sure but some other games have it work like that).
Criterias:
- The Y value of the fallen player should not be in reach for Harvest Soul (spellid 68985).
- The player has to die before being frozen just to make sure to not be summoned inside Frostmourne phase.
Option 2A: Increase the mass ressurection
Make so that basically wherever you could be even in different instance you get ressurected. Yes I know this is complicated and I do not really know how it would work but I figured it should be at least mentioned.
Option 2B: Increase the mass ressurection
Make everyone in the raid become resurrected and moved to the right location. This is problematic if you have more than 25 players at the same time in the raid.
Criteria
- If implementing this, you should warn players by creating a general topic about this so everyone has the chance of getting the information that raid leader and assistants are advised to kick anyone who isn't in the raid. Still makes it problematic and abusable however.
Option 3: When dead, move body
If you die by falling down, your body will be placed somewhere in reach of the resurrection but not in reach for being targeted for a rebirth by druids. Possible solution would be to put the body stuck inside the platform which would mean the body would be out of LoS (line of sight). Same thing as in option 1, once player reaches a certain Y value (Figure 1.) you will get teleported in a secured* place.
* you will be able to get resurrected at the roleplay but you will not be able to have a second chance in the fight.
