Can someone explain the death system to me?

[Benjamin Hexpratt]

Alright so when you are in combat and you get knocked down you've been stabbed, shot, blown up etc. how in the world do you just go to jail? I've been killed and who in the world took me to jail the skeleton that just stabbed me? I don't think so and when I finally reach to jail in ways I'm not so sure how do I just plop down into a cell? I just spawn in the cell and fall on my butt then i just get up and waltz out like nothing happened? why doesn't the guard wake up? Is he dead? Why is the jail door not locked? This system doesn't make any sense to me.

I think you'll find lots of video games don't really make perfect sense, nor should they need to in my opinion. But, for the sake of discussion, presumably the Navy takes you to jail after you've been knocked out, and the jail guards are usually (always?) sleeping.

 

[Bess Tackstealer]

I think the Guards have been getting into the rum a bit much if you ask me but they all say they are "sleeping"

I guess one could say that the guards are not in the mood to perform their job.

Remember this was aa gam Disney aimed at younger kids. So no true death for the player.

Originally there was no Revive system. You got ko'ed you immediately went to jail.

The logic being that as a pirate you're wanted for arrest and the Navy just happens to find you laying there.

As for getting out right away, Jack shows you the weakness in the doors ala Will Turner's breaking them out in the first movie.

And again... Kids game.

No no no. You are only stabbed, shot and blown up to within an inch of your life and pass out. You are not dead, the skeleton is too dead and dumb and thinks you're dead. Disney would never have their eight year old players dying. You're only out of commission for a minute.

Disney instead kills off all the parents of just about every lovable creature we know like Dumbo and Bambi's Mom, or Lion Kings Dad. Parents never seem to survive most Disney cartoons. Always wondered about that.

Hope this helps.

You kidding me? Having pirates wake up in jail after defeat was iconic.

It is way better than having to run over to your corpse! Can they make a mode where if you die your pirate gets deleted? That'd be awesome.

Permadeath would definitely be...interesting to say the least. I remember we had quite a few threads about it back in the day. People have a lot to say about things like that.

Yeah, death equals deletion is always interesting lol. As in, interesting to see how quickly 90% of the population rage quits.

Spongebob logic..

That's why it would have to be a completely optional server

HEY - he's a friend!

Still don't see the point tbh. Unless the server has new enemies, better loot, etc. Otherwise it's all risk and no reward.

Adding permadeath just doesn't fit in the picture of TLOPO.

I mean, magically coming back to life isn't particularly ultra-realistic either.

 

[ThunderStorms]

Your penalty for going to jail is most obvious ! Health penalty ! What else do you want a 3 day stay ?
I mean you could ask that jail time be added to you for going to jail !! ...........................

Wut! You aren't technically dead...just beat up with a broken leg. They did not have hospitals back in the day. Alright, can someone look at the lore and clarify this for us! Btw I refuse to resurrect anyone that is knocked out.

 

[Crashalot]

There's simply no death "system" in the game.
You get knocked out and go to jail, where you can escape because the guard is asleep.
Once yer out, you're groggy for a bit, because, well, you're groggy.
Enemies get knocked out and they eventually re spawn.
And, you're welcome!
Savor it!

Oh, that's not nice. Are you saying you've never been resurrected when knocked out?
Well, then, if I see you get knocked out in a fight, I'll just resurrect you against your will and you can complain to the king or something.
But I doubt he'll listen.
