Revival point without being there before
« on: September 14, 2013, 04:23:14 am »
How did this happen?? I wander around .. I die .. revive in NU .. I go for rocks in QA.. I die .. I revive in Norilisk without ever being there .
Is this a glitch? Should other new players be warned about it since it really screws up the game plan. Or am I just " special " .. lol.

That should not have happened - however I remember correctly, you do not need to go into the outpost to have it as a revive  point - just near it.
The Norilisk outpost is quite near the force field, perhaps too close?

its a bug that has never been fixed.  if you die to east in NU you leave NU into a land of VERY VERY big mobs.  Run back!

That bug has been around since Survival was first opened up. You're not supposed to be able to revive there unless you get a lot closer to the revival than the force field's eastern edge, but apparently the "suck you in" radius is much larger than it should be.

Are you able to talk to the NPC to return yourself to human form or are you stuck as a bot?

If u managed to die in NU then leaving Norilsk in the human form might be a challenge. It's where u realize this new flying-disk-form is really useful. Wish we had this feature back in AW Alpha when the Snow-covered Frontier zone opened. My first encounter with those polar bear things there lasted for 2 days and so many deaths that i lost count. Heard some ppl spent there 2 weeks until the devs simply moved them out.
Survival's Norilsk area is a bit easier. It's even possible to simply walk away in a straight line if the mobs are favourably positioned. If not, they are also very good in turning u back into more manageable flying disk shape, faster than u can say "ouch" ;D

True, bot mode makes travel much easier. The problem is that if he hasn't registered his DNA there yet, anything he had on him is now stuck in Norilsk and is very difficult to get back as a newcomer and even as a lesser-skilled civilian. The good thing is that it's not impossible and that it's less difficult than a lot of travel routes, though it is a pretty long trek.

Hopefully he's already back in business, but if not I hope there are others online with him to help him with any difficulties.

Are there any more such points I have to be aware of ? I don't mind dying while wandering around .. just don't like to be revived in areas I'm not suited for ( yet ) .

Since I have all the current revive points active, I cannot test if all the zones near NU are active to newcomers (without needing to be visited first). If they are then the https://my.afterworld.deelogic.net/survival/knowledge-database/c211-world-map/ shows you where you will be sent to depending on where in NU you die.

Yup, it's hard to answer the question for sure without knowing whether all outposts are bugged in the same way or just the one in Norilsk.

However, while trying to register my DNA in the Turukhansk outpost (many moons ago) I died at the hands of a Bolotoid Bugor within sight of the outpost and still revived in NU. I believe I've had similar experiences with the other outposts as well, but Turukhansk was the last one I did and the others were months prior so it may be different now.

Long story short: it seems like Norilsk is the only one that does this. If anyone has revived at any other outpost you hadn't visited before it'd be good to know.
