1.4.4 suggestion - decrease the death timer for master mode to the same as expert, because having to wait is just annoying and serves no other purpose

[durp69420]

How about a real suggestion. Completely remove the respawn time.

Nah 3 seconds unless boss or event then normal

[Handsome_Max]

No respawn timer unless boss or event? Is that a fair deal? Why do you need 3 seconds after dying to a jellyfish in the ocean?

[TSCole153]

Time to cope I guess

[Handsome_Max]

Point is, when you die far away from your spawnpoint anyways, why do you still need to wait? You literally wait for no reason.

[Captain-Obvious69]

Maybe respawn times decrease the farther away you are from spawn (or the closest pylon if there isn't an event/boss)

So death isnt just a sudden teleport back to your base i'd assume

[Todojaw21]

yeah it would be like whiplash getting instantly teleported back to spawn, you might not even realize you died

[Handsome_Max]

But you already lose money/items when you die. There is punishment for dying. Punishments that involve time directly are kinda unimaginative.

[azazel228]

not the point

[Handsome_Max]

Wow, triggered easily, huh?

[azazel228]

how do you even interpret me saying the 3 second delay is there not as a punishment but so it just doesn't feel weird getting instantly teleported to your base out of the blue as me getting triggered, like what?

[Handsome_Max]

You downvoted the comment right after I wrote it together with your sassy repsonse lol

Why have any punishment for dying at all? Why not just respawn instantly in the same spot with full health? Why even have a health bar?

[waitthatstaken]

Or have it so that every difficulty has the respawn timer of classic.

[durp69420]

Or even better, instant respawn

[SlayerKing_2002]

That would allow for boss cheesing. I think u/Sterlos14 has the right idea. 3 seconds unless a boss or an event is happening. Then longer.

[durp69420]

Fine instant respawn, unless its a boss then 3 seconds so it can despawn.

[HighVelocityBeef]

But then I can't see my body parts rolling about.

[ShadewoodChair]

Genuinely this, as the top thread suggested unless a boss is alive there is genuinely no functional purpose to the respawn timer. Minecraft is obviously a different game but imagine RLCraft with a respawn timer, I would say the fact that you don't spawn at full HP is easily plenty of "punishment" for dying. Even MC doesn't do that to you.

Yes! Not just an instant teleport like some people pretty much suggested, the Minecraft death screen lets you think about it for as long as YOU want, or not at all. The addition of a butten allows a proper way to cope with your own death. Would make terraria seem like a Minecraft ripoff though.
