Please tell me these are players...

It's really annoying seeing all of those skeletons lying around...

 

I love it. I think it's a great addition to the game. It instantly makes the game feel more alive seeing all those dead remains of players. I would be terribly disappointed if it were ever removed.

 

Really. I think it is a bit too much. In every scene and even on the overland map there are so many glowing skeletons lying around...

 

I'm not sure how long the timer lasts. I think 1 hour would be a good time for the life cycle of a skeleton. I'm guessing it's longer than that at the moment.

 

It is really cool to see where were people able to get themselves killed. I actually think there is not enough skeletons, large scenes should have hundreds if not thousands of them

I believe that devs said that they display last 30 deaths or so.

 

I can understand this for OPO mode but for SPO? It is strange seeing those skeletons when you think you are alone...

 

Well that is one of the reasons why to play singleplayer online. Not to be alone completely. I am pretty sure that if you see any of these skeletons in offline mode, it will be your own.

 

Persistent world for all online modes, but I see your point. Perhaps it can be an option?

Also are these ghosts from all instances of that scene?

 

I actually love this mechanic. It's hilarious.

 

"Fun" shapes or messages using dead bodies in 3...2...

 

It could be a new form of cleromancy. Instead of tossing bones, you toss players and read their remains.

 

I died on the kingsport bridge about 30 minute in, my skeleton stayed there till the 5 o clock patch

 

I saw some in one area that looked like someone was posing the skeletons in ahem perverted positions and yes i screen shotted it

 

Isn't it some kind of cheating, seeing skeletons of other players lying around and knowing that there is some kind of danger there? Could be a spoiler, too...

 

I especially enjoyed all the ones that were in a fire haha.

 

Thanks for the amusing humor. We need it when SoTA makes changes to challenge us and test the game. I guess they were all tagged PVP so people attacked them like they wanted. All the unlucky ones who lost the PVP battle for all to see. I am sure they made it through on the second try.

 

It could probably stand to get toned down.

How about just saving the 5 or 10 most recent corpses and fading the rest away?

 

The skeletons are another cool decorating option. I love seeing them scattered about.

 

They are marker for players to know where others had difficulties. When I started the tutorial I saw also a glowing skeleton and it reminded me, that I have to be carefully during the tutorial. I have not the power I used to have.

 

But they are also spoilers. Consider playing the story and you enter an area not knowing what to expect and want to explore, find secrets, wanting to be surprised by traps and enemies who are suddenly appearing but those skeletons do give all of this away before you can experience it yourself - especially in SPO and FPO.
