We will soon have an issue with lifetank, in just a couple days. Turbine in fixing the long standing "steal fellow" bug. This mean lots of dead people standing around at lifestones while still in fellow. Anyone who truly knows how fellowship XP works, knows that these people while not receiving the XP, are still mathematically reducing it for everyone else. And they will be taking up a spot in the fellow that could go to a contributing member - and more importantly, someone who wants to actively play the game.


The real fix is ensuring the fellow leader is attentive and takes care of things. In the case, that for whatever reason, he or she does not:


Please fix it so Lifetank boots on death at all times. Again.


Thank you.

that would probably create an issue for those live folks getting booted from a fellow.


might want to suggest that upon death they display a screen to Y/N leave fellowship that if isn't clicked on in minute after death has the dead LS leecher quit the fellow.


that way live folks can't complain about losing spot in fellowship and afk folks have no rights.

I'll be honest, I don't want to see the live players punished in a fellow BY any afk dead people.

This, I believe, is already address. Recently when all the auto-logout options were removed from LifeTank .. one was returned. Logout on death is found under the Macro/Options tab.


When installing LTx, the default for this option is "On".


My feeling is the LTx Dev have address this best as can be .. other then adding it to the HUD and/or adding a hot-key.


Because of the sensitivity of this subject, this is a hard subject to address to users. As stated in a previous post here, the active user will do the corrective actions upon death. In the case of the AFK, the above option should address this. User awarness is important in all cases.


In a sense, it's the weakness of a fellowship that we all are aware of.


.. just my 2 cents worth on this subject.

It's just.... annoying... You get to a dungeon, you find out there's room in fellow... and then you find 2 people actually IN the dungeon, the rest at lifestones all over Dereth. This is what I forsee.

Churi-ya, I understand your example VERY MUCH. I have been in and seen that same situation.


When I enter a dungeon in hopes of XP and join a fellow only to find more then half of the members do not exist in the dungeon .. I just politly quit the fellow and find somewhere else .. or just create my own new fellow. There's no rule that says I need to use the existing fellow.

Sorry, I'm not going to force logout upon death.


Not to mention, this has been happing for a long time now. One monthly patch isn't going to stop it.

Maybe someone in the future will make this chance to LT, but my name won't be on it.

Well when you quitting? I would love to see someone else take it over.

Why would you ever have a force log on death?


If the player is smart, just click the "log on death" function under options, it's not that difficult.


And if you're leader isn't at keys, then you're dumb to be macroing at that place then.


Just do rotations of leader in fellow. If someone is going to stay up late, or from another country, its pretty easy to take turns of leader
