⚔️ The In-Combat System

To keep fights fair, the game uses an in-combat system to track when you’re actively engaged.

🎵 Indicators of Combat

• A special combat music track plays.

• A combat icon/marker appears on your HUD.

• These make it clear when you’re considered “in combat.”

⏳ Duration

• Attacking or being hit puts you into combat.

• Combat status lingers for a short period after the last hit.

• Once it disappears, you’re safe again.

💀 Death & Leaving Penalties

• If you die in combat, you lose 50% growth (like normal death).

• If you leave or disconnect while in combat, it is treated the same as dying.

• If you leave or reset outside of combat, there’s no penalty.

✅ Summary: The system ensures fairness by punishing combat logging. Always wait for your combat marker to vanish before leaving the game.
