yep we know ,and I said I hated it but I dont care anymore I guess its ok ;)

[Kyonye]

I actually don't mind the fact that there are coffins. it is a little wierd though.

[korezero]

I kind of like them they are neat..

[Fire_Monkey]

Yeah Davey told us a while ago, Caskets are ok, I agree with ABRAX.

[Nightmare]

I would like to see that pic, but my comp is god awful and the window freezes up every time I click on the link. God I can't wait for my new one...

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Casket is better then anything else I can think of personally, but yeah, this has been covered.

[Kyonye]

well there are graves. or you can just drop the weapons.

better than having a bloody corpse pulsating with maggots, would you want to loot that corpse? I don't think so...

i hope you didn't think this was breaking news or anything.

I *would have* prefered bodies, but after considering it - Caskets = less polygons = less strain = more fun.

Clever Devs never stop thinking. ;)

[TerraxNovae]

Just so everyone remembers...

You WILL see bodies lying around. Only when the person releases to respawn does the body turn into a "Loot box".

It's so medics can tell who is waiting for a Revive, and who is just dead...

[Alias]

Didn't know that personally (Newbie :D) but I still hold the same opinion. Better to be a casket eventually, than a body lieing there for hours or whatever the loot time is before it decays.

[Frozen-Monkey]

i like the fact that you can plunder them

Just think of them as boxes and its not so weird. And yea, we knew the casket thing for quite awhile.

[Tolvy]

When I die (actually make that IF I die), I want to have death be in style. I don't want my bloody corpse just lying there, a casket atleast looks nice. If only there was a funeral. :rolleyes:

I agree with Alias. Boxes will make the game faster.

And yet, how will it all work? Will the caskets just suddenly pop from nowhere when someone dies? And if you go to loot someone's corpse, do you have to open the casket?

After you die, and release, you leave a coffin. Your coffin contains your entire inventory. Friend or foe after that can loot your coffin, so yes you open it to loot it, but I am not sure if there is any animation for it.

do you have to wait untill the dead guy turns into a coffin to loot it, or can u loot it while its still a dead body??

Coffin.

[Cao_Cao]

i like the whole coffin thing, to many rpgs i have played where you have to loot your own damn body, instead of a nice lil neet coffin :0

[Destroyeron]

*sniff* that pictures so touching....

hmm... i thing the caskets/coffins are there to lighten the load on the servers. Bodies that all have different configs would be harder to maintain, so its ok. Its just ike the bodies in TFC,CS, and all other FPSes, but these act like bodies in MMORPGs were u can loot them, you can even loot empire specific weapons and keep them in ur locker(sppssss! come here, wanna se my merchandise!!!)! So these caskets are pretty sweet because of what they allow!

-Dark- Bodies would be cool though!
