Getting killed in SWG?

[BobaWP]

I was wondering when you die in the game if you will get vitae or something of that nature. Basically what I'm asking is do your skills go down for a little bit until you do actions that decrease the vitae until its gone? Or will they just have you lose your items that are not insured?

[Jan Gaarni]

Yes, and no.

 

It all dependes when you "saved", to use that word, your character at a cloning facility last time. When you do that, your current skills, attributes, all that is you, will be stored for your future clone should you require it. If that was 2 minutes prior to your death, that won't be so bad. Hardly noticable really. But if it's days, maybe weeks since the last time, that would be very bad indeed.

 

Note: Items you are carrying not included.

A seperate function exists for that purpose, called insurance. Works the same way you insure any item in the real world, but without the paperwork.

Just pay and be done with it.

Where will we resurect? at the cloning facility>?

[BobaWP]

Oooooooooo ok Jan I get it now. So you should basically "save" every time something you dont want to lose happens to your character. And for Exars question I read in the FAQ that you do just come out of the cloning facility due to the fact that they ahve to make the clone of you.

I heard that when you get killed, Your items and weapons are left at your death site. And later you'll find an npc selling your item that you customly made. And the npc will likely be a jawa. (Stupid worthless creatures:D )

[setsuko]

Then you heard wrong. Corpse runs will only be necessary for items that are not insured. And no, NPC's won't sell those items.

 

After all, NPC vendors will only provide us with really basic items.

wow..haven't heard of vitae in a long time...can't even remeber which game that was..lol

[Dark Moon]

So let's see, please tell me if I'm wrong. To ge an item insured, you go to, let's say an insurance office, and pay x amount of credits for the office to insure your item. Then I walk out of the store and get hit by a speeder that slices my pitiful body into 2 lifeless, mangled... *ahem* After that could I just go back to the insurance office and get those exact insured items back? Or does it work differently? Also, once you die once and recover an insured item do you need to "renew" your policy, or is the item forever insured?

[waffleman]

Nope, thats the general thing I get from it. however I dont think you'll have to go to the exact station even if thier is one. I think thier might be a funtion that alows you to get those items back imediatly after re-spawn.

[Jan Gaarni]

You get those items back once you have been cloned.

[setsuko]

Yes. After having your items insured at a terminal (a quick deal, you don't have to stand in line in an office and sign papers all day! ), the insured items appear with you when you spawn after death.

[rogue 99]

but after you die, you need to reinsure your items right?

[RocketPack Jack]

The devs havent really said that u need 2 reinsure ur items, but i supose it goes without saying, especially if u modify or upgrade a weapon and will need 2 reinsure it 4 more. U might automatically lose insurance 4 an item if u upgrade it, i dont know.
