Your timer is wrong, on Live it's 30 seconds

It takes time for someone to finish loading enough till they have control of their toon. If it takes them a minute to load, then they only have a min left (using your timer). The 30 second Live timer runs out before a lot of people finish loading.

You don't have a choice when cloning. It only gives you the Player City as an option if that's the closest one.

Take a look at the most recent patch notes.

They changed it to 2 min.

What I was trying to say was mis read I can see.

 I'll explain it alittle more in detail sorry for not explaining it right the first time.

 1. Joe blow comes to town cloned off world and your city is so big it takes a full burst run to go from one end to the center of town.

2. He makes your militia mad and gets ban'ed but can stay around shouting insults.

3. He's warned and is only given 30 secs to leave town. This is how its actually working.

4. He trys to run and gets incaped in 1 shot by a master weaponsmith who used to weild a scatter pistol but traded it for a crafting tool.

 5. Master weaponsmith then deathblows the baned and warned person thinking he would clone at wayfar. Only he can not clone in wayfar because ive died before outside my city within range of the clone facility and only one that shows up as closest and insured at facility is my towns facility.  We are close enough to wayfar that wayfar was the closest facility.

6. Master weaponsmith is surprised to see him respawn in the same spot attackable again.

7. Joe blow shouts an insult again, thinking hes fine, only to find out master weaponsmith incaps and deathblows him again.

8. Just because he was stupid the first 2 times master weaponsmiths decides to deathblow him again.

9. The guy finaly leaves town still attackable and only able to walk out of town because they've killed his mount.

Does this help explain what "could" happen and hopefully show a bug or two in the system that is supposed to be 2mins?

I dont mean for this to sound like im raging on dev team or calling anyone dumb, infact im trying to explain it in a way I can hopefully show you that something is broken somewhere.

I think my first post was poorly done and didnt get my point across, hard to do in text but dewy knows im never good at it.

If you cityban someone and then warn them to be able to attack them and they arent cloned on the planet the clone facility defaults to your clone facility as the closest. 

 Because they cant clone in your facility they respawn in the same spot, still attackable and with major wounds, if your really angry with someone you can keep doing it over and over leaveing them with nothing and eventually destroying all their items with the decay.

 I will admit it was fun getting back at the theif who thought they were slick by leaveing the guild and takeing the stuff given to them with them but it was even more fun getting it all back and takeing it out on his hide.

 Thing is , I can see this getting highly exploited and causeing alot of problems. I can see it getting really bad in pvp.

 It was hard keeping poeple from wanting to set there and kill him all night, it was even harder to do with them respawning in the same spot after a deathblow.

 Picture a guy getting creamed and still haveing to walk home 5k meters outside of bestine with 3/4 of his HAM in wounds.

 Something you might want to look into and maybe change a few things to stop it from happening on a mass scale before it gets out of hand.

 

 And if your someone who thought it might be cool to mess with poeples citys I would read this and think twice..

Its 30 seconds to be attackable, not 2 mins. Also if the city is large enough and you are already wounded you cant burst run out. There is a problem here mr dev guy.

A few things here:

Jarery - It IS changed on TC, it was in the notes. This is the TC forums.

Gnomepunter - See my response to Jarery.

BoozeFienD - I'm not sure it's me that is confused here buddy. As I said, GM is fixing some things, you don't keep your TEF, it IS getting addressed. Thank you.

dusinberre - thank you

Prolyfik - You're not listening, this is TC.

TaimaishuYun - Any kind of griefing that you are thinking can get done in 1:45 can surely be screenshotted and sent to me (or a CSR) for disciplinary action right? ;-)

Thanks all!

Thanks Taurin! It is encouraging that the devs care as much as we do about the way everything works. Don't get discouraged. I am personally glad this is being looked at.

I don't believe it's an exploit just because a player forgets to clone when they first arrive on a planet. There's no need to go around changing code because of laziness/foregetfulness. I only needed one 5% decay death to instill the need to clone upon arrival to a planet.

In reference to the 'loading time' issue. Why are you logged out in an unfriendly/unkown city to begin with. Try logging out outside city limits to avoid this.
