Possible or Not: Corpses Disappear After Rez

This is an idea I got while raiding. Usually when raid wipes and all, clerics rez the corpse and we gotta loot 'em in order to keep them out of the way, should there be another wipe or any other condition (ie Summon Corpse, maybe).

So, is it possible to where the rez spells make corpses disappear? After all, they're pretty useless after being rezzed. So why not go ahead and make them disappear right after a rez?

Just an idea.
 
cant you just loot to make them go away? I understand you are talking about removing this and it would make sense since there is no gear to recover but seems trivial if looting a corpse removes it.
 
I think this was talked about a LONG time ago, don't remember what was said, but since it hasn't been implemented, I would assume it was a no.
 
Actually I don't think there was any downsides to it, we just kind of forgot. I remember advocating it.
 
I would rather have corrective maintenance applied than perfective.
This problem of yours is only a matter of convenience.

I don't see the problem in looting your corpse as soon as you land.

There's more important things to correct, have a look at the buglist :)

If we only chose what to change by importance with no regard for how long it will take, this would not be a good server.
 
Having recently played the main resser on a raid, I can tell you this would be a plus. Not everyone loots their corpse, even when instructed to. If the corpse went poof when it was rezed, then any corpse a cleric saw, he would know needed to be ressed still.

Aye, I totally understand your point, and if adding the functionality of corpse dissapearing after ressurection does not require too much work then it's most certainly something that would be feasable taking care of.

Also, the cold truth is that if you ask people what they would like maintenance to focus on, most would want more functionality to be added over old functionality being corrected. (Software Engineering, Sommerville et. al)
 
Implmenting this mean that you need to make sure that the code for rez is LD proof.
So there wont be a case of someone getting a rez while he LD/Zone the corpse poof and then it's /petition time.
I would rather yell at people to loot corpses then being force to wait for a GM.

Uh, if you do that you already need to petition for a GM. This wouldn't change a thing. But yes, that does need fixing.
 
also keep in mind that even if everyone looted their corpse on pop, some players take extremely long times to zone, so their corpses are there confusing people :(
 
What if for now you pulled the body you were about to rez from (pile A) and off to one side to 9pile B) to rez? Anything at (pile B) has been rezzed and anything in (pile A) has not. That is kinda what our guild does now. *shrug*

------------>ooo
(pile A)--->0000<----pile of dead bodies
------------>ooo






------------>ooo
(pile B)--->0000<----pull to here before you rez corpse
------------>ooo
 
35 corpses in a pile /cringe... Then ya have the corpses where people zone/log/go LD that you would have to move to a third pile or else ya might have fun targeting. I know you could /target but that just takes to long especially with some of you peoples long ass names.
 
I rezzed well over 100 corpses last night, probably closer to 150. This change would be pretty welcome, actually.
