xp/gold loss warning?

well i have recently found out that when you pause or are in the equipment screen you will lose xp/gold ticks while in the menu

personally i am furious due to the fact i pause always when i die

the reason why i pause is because i have my game windowed so whenever i pause the mouse cursor comes up and then i can just go on the internet.

i have easily lost ALL of my dead xp/gold and i never even realized it was happening

so should there be warning text say something like "WARNING YOU WILL NOT GET XP WHILE YOU ARE IN MENU"?

i found out about it here

its a recent change so you didnt lose much

Its to stop people playing the first 30 seconds in siege and pressing equip screen and gaining all the xp and gold for the round

i completely understand it was designed with leechers in mind and thank you for letting me know it was only recently put in

but there should be some sort of warning to the player it could be something like every time he looses a tick the game pops up text warning him or just have it stated on the menu itself

would anyone know exactly how long ago it was put in?

What exactly do you mean by pausing? I just Alt+Tab out of the game if I need to and the game continues to runs. Is there a special mode? I sometimes see people turning in circles during battle. Is that pause?

I just noticed it as I often change my stuff in the inventory when I die.
The logic of war seems to be that if a belligerent can fight he will fight.

i am doing shift tab now that i know about what happens when u hit esc key and leaving it there  u lose xp/gold

i had my game windowed and the only way you can use your cursor is if you either alt tab or hit esc.i hit esc so i can go online and look at things (like im doing now)when i die

and i noticed it when you posted that thread i tested it and went into a rage i was so upset Q_Q i cant even fathom how much xp/gold i lost

Ah, you got it all wrong. You don't lose XP/Gold (as in, if you're not spawning, you don't gain XP/Gold, but u also don't pay upkeep), you are just not gaining it. It was put in about...

Yeah I think I would mostly miss the exp. Because even if I was using a 60k armor and it was x2 multi and I died really early I wouldn't use this system to stop paying upkeep. I would still want my exp ;)

Ticks are not given when using the in-game "c-key" menu to level up.  Meaning if I am on a x5, level up, and hold the c-key for a few seconds to spend my new points (and the tick is about to happen), I miss out on gold and experience.

Son of a bitch.

I always go to the equipment menu when I alt tab so I don't spawn and sit AFK when the next round starts.

...

FUCK!

Found out about this recently, it really pisses me off if I'm doing something else while auto-running a bit closer to the action.
But if you're just on another page an easier way to do it is to press Esc, move down to the line showing all open programs, while on this line press Esc again, your courser will stay, your menu will go away.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

Why would you do that? Once the round is over, the equipment screen does pop up anyway in every case. You have to press okay to spawn again, that prevents people who went afk, to spawn again and stand afk at the spawn and leech. You also get a sound you hear when every round is over... So there is no reason to put the equipment screen up while alt-tabbing.

poll-wise -> 100% no.
