Death counter keeps resetting

[Viviyana]

It seemed to reset at the end of the 52 minutes, back to four minutes, then another four. I'll retest, unless someone else can confirm.

It sounds like you died, waited 3 minutes and a bit, died, waited 3 minutes and a bit, and then died a third time.

It said you needed to wait 52 minutes which sounds like an hour from the first death, so that's promising, right?

But I'm not sure I understand what you mean that it reset to 4 minutes. You mean you still showed as having 3 deaths and that it would not let you go into danger again until the 4, and then the final 4 minutes were up? If so, then it's still effectively the same bug, it's just looking at the oldest deaths properly.

That sounds like at least it's reading the timings of the deaths right but it's not reducing the number of deaths down so you can move again. Is that right? I only ever see the "minutes remaining" when it says I can't go into danger.

[Viviyana]

Correct,

It is back to the first bug, It gives the minute count for the first death (52 minutes) message. Once that times out, the time remaining on the second death (four minutes) appears in the message...or "resets" as we have been calling it. When that hits zero, then the time remaining on the first death (four more minutes) appears "Resets". For a total of one hour.

Throughout the hour the number of deaths shows as 3.

Once all the deaths have timed out the message goes away and you can go into fight zones again.

Confirmed I'm getting the same response. Close, but not yet, Zeric!

Or.....and this will probably make me the most hated woman in DG. But if it is not fixable, and if it is easier, go back to the last try from yesterday (Where it gave a flat 60 minutes at three deaths, setting the timing from the last death) and reduce the amount of time you have to wait to a more reasonable amount...like 20 minutes. And just call it the new death system. Then after three deaths, you are grounded for a flat 20 minutes or so and then all your deaths are erased down to zero.

Not entirely sure that making changes in the middle of the night when I'm sleepy is a good idea. But I just deployed a new tweak, try this one on for size.

I have a feeling that this will probably go back to telling you to wait an hour, but at least the countdown is hopefully accurate again instead of misleading.

Also I'm logging off now so if it turns out I broke deaths, just do your best not to die again until the morning when I'm back around.

I think it's fine though. Probably.

Good luck!

[Viviyana]

Yep, from what I can tell back to the second bug

[Zeric of Admin]

Tweaked again.

This one might actually fix some stuff. Maybe.

[Viviyana]

Nice! I do believe you got it

Can anyone confirm?

[Thorne]

Confirmed everything is working as it should be.

Died at 9:09, 9:15, and 9:26.

On third death, it said I had 43 minutes until I could move toward a monster.

At 10:09 I was freed and deaths were lowered to a count of 2.

I died again at 10:09 and it said I had 6 minutes until I could move toward a monster again.

Congrats!

I can also confirm the death counter is working correctly.
Took a run through the reborn zone Friday September 1st (all times BST)

1.08 died first time stats show deaths this hour 1
1.29 died second time stats show deaths this hour 2
1.47 died third time stats show deaths this hour 3. Onscreen notification can't move near a monster for 21 minutes
2.08 stats show deaths this hour 2 Onscreen note re moving near monsters disappeared
2.29 stats show deaths this hour 1
2.47 stats show deaths this hour 0

Looks like you fixed it, Zeric. Great work. Many thanks.
