Blizzard har planer om at ændre måden, hvorpå den såkaldte 'death timer' fungerer i Diablo 3. I en kommende patch vil de sørge for, at der altid kun vil være fem sekunders ventetid, inden man kan 'revive' sin character ved seneste checkpoint. Denne nyhed kommer i forbindelse med Lylirras reaktion på en fans ønske om, at banners kan sættes de steder, hvor man ønsker at genoplive sin character, efter den dør (et forslag der ikke synes at vinde opbakning hos Lylirra, der dog forsikrer os om, at de gerne vil give banners en større rolle i spillet).

As some players have pointed out, allowing characters to revive at their banner's location does create some complications and could lead to certain kinds of gameplay that we'd prefer to avoid in Diablo III (this is actually why we don't allow players use Town Portals in the same way that you could in Diablo II). We definitely appreciate the feedback, though, and will continue to consider how we might be able to accommodate this suggestion -- or at least something similar -- in the future.

That said, we completely agree that banners in their current form are pretty boring and we'd love to make them more useful. If you have other ideas for banner uses, please share them!

(On a note that's somewhat related to respawning, we also happen to agree that incremental resurrection timers are overkill -- especially given the other penalties you incur when dying -- and are looking to change it so that players can always revive at the last checkpoint five seconds after death in an upcoming patch.)

Nå det var da på tide de også indså at der ikke er ret meget sjovt i at sidde og se på den timer tælle ned
