Pretty easy and intuitive. Many other "solutions" are very abusable to prevent hardcore characters from dying, here is mine.

When a votekick is passed, votekicked player has 60s timer to exit the game. After 60s has passed, the player will lose control of his character for 10s and automatically disconnect.

Perhaps just 60 seconds to leave the game, the idea is there. No need for the losing control of your character. One minute should be more than enough for you to find a safe spot and tp...

Better solution: Get rid of the POS Vote-Kick feature.

so what do you do when you have POS people who does nothing but stays in town?

Why the need to make the player lose control at all? If a player can survive the 60 seconds then it's hardly exploitable. 60 seconds and then instant kick would be better.

Why not just go to option and set no public game display so nobody random joins your game? FIXED, . . . smart.

Ehhh. While the advice "don't play in Hardcore public games" may be valid in a number of situations, we recognize that this is a legitimate issue for Hardcore players and want to address it ASAP -- ideally in a way that doesn't impact co-op play (or impacts it as minimally as possible).

Right now, we're looking to remove the 10-second movement lockout whenever a Vote Kick is passed from both Hardcore and Normal modes. While we realize this solution may allow players to exploit the Vote Kick function to avoid death, it's not a very reliable survival technique and we feel that it's a better alternative than players losing a character they've invested a lot of time into due to griefing. We'll definitely be keeping on an eye on this, though, and will consider other solutions if necessary.

I don't know yet if this is something that can be addressed via hotfix; it may be a fix that we need to implement with a client-side patch. We're still working out the details, and I'll provide an update once there's any more info to share.

Do you guys also think that those who have been using such an exploit should be banned immediately? I'm talking about those sadists who are mpk'ing others via that.

Why not have a small box on the bottom right side of the screen which has the 10 second countdown?

And while the countdown is going you can still fight, move, trade, and so on?

If your solution is getting rid of the 10 second countdown and you are worried it might create ways for people to exploit it, why make such a drastic change when you can just finesse what you already have?

Thank you, Lylirra. I don't play hardcore but I don't condone the behavior of online bullies PKing characters that people invested a lot of time and effort building up.

Just wanted to also say thank you for you (or someone) bringing the issue to the attention of the needed people. Once this is implemented I will be able to play public games every once in awhile with my WD
