Did FD work like this on live?

[DMN]

1. Slummin' around some level 40ish area, Pet pulls a train of enemies you don't want to waste mana to deal with.
2. run to a safe spot and FD
3. Pet is still about half life
4. do /q to ensure aggro wipe
5. log back in after an excessively long "you have a character already logged in".
6. Notice tons of corpses, but more importantly you are NOT even close to where you FD at, are at half health instead of 90% and at 0% mana instead of about 75%.


Obviously the game decided to make my link dead character stand up and fight with my pet for some strange reason( no I did not fail my FD either). This is certainly not the behavior I remember from the game in in this period of time.

get rid of your pet next time and it won't make you fight mobs while linkdead

Understandably, the angry hordes after your blood realized you were faking since your pet was still up and fighting them.

This is how linkdeath worked on live. We used to have fun laughing as friends continued fighting for minutes after linkdead. 'Course, we'd try to help them... sometimes. veg

That's nonsnese. I had a mage and I was always 100% happy to know when I crashed/lagged out after sending in the pet after an enemy and I had not cast any offensive spells, that I was 100% assured to not get attacked or start fighting while LD.

why would you ask a question and then immediately correct someone who responds

That's consistent with what I remember. If you disconnected in combat you didn't just stand there, you fought on (with mixed success) and could even "flee" (like an NPC) when you got low on health. It was definitely possible to move (either to melee while disconnected, or flee) until the connection finally gave up.

Because I would have recalled something as profoundly stupid as that. They are confusing when YOU aggro a mob with an attack/spell/face aggro and THEN go link dead. Not standing up from being FD while having never personally aggroed anything.

Why is anybody wasting time on this guy? His entire schtick is asking questions about <X> classic 'feature' and then deriding people who answer him.

None of those are even remotely related to what you stated. Does my superior intellect really upset your pasty basement dwelling existence that much?
