    10 players die and leave their corpses all over the place.

    You are a builder, a corpse is on the fort. You cannot build anything because a corpse is in the way. You cannot make the corpse go away by smashing it to pieces.

    You are an archer, an enemy is hiding behind his own corpse. You shoot at your enemy but the arrow collides with the corpse.

    You are an archer, a corpse is right at your location, you fire an arrow and it gets stuck in the corpse.

    Now tell me, are colliding corpses a feature to annoy players or is it a feature to annoy players?

    The answer is to stop playing builder and archer.

    (but seriously colliding corpses suck)

    I think knights can push corpses with their shields.
    It is a game of teamwork after all.

    I like that corpses absorb arrows. It just feels right.
    The amount of times i've used a corpse as a shield makes it too valuable to remove.

    Best thing to do is to get a Knight to shift the corpse using the shield.

    On the other hand, I also think that it would be a good idea to allow builders the ability to pick up and move corpses.

    I find it an amusing activity to push corpses into a hole with the shield.

    The only annoying thing really is not being able to build on a corpse. I might fix that somehow.

    Maybe if you hit corpses with your shovel enough they break? Maybe they could turn into meat. :D

    If you're going to keep colliding corpses at least make the colission area smaller,
    corpses absorb arrows that dont even touch them.

    Contrary I'm not sure we want to encourage cannibalism, hahah.

    Making it so you could grab the corpses like in spelunky might work.

    A huge problem I see at the moment is a corpse shield.
    I understand being able to stand behind a body and let it absorb the arrows. But corpses, as far as I have seen, can be exploited pretty badly.
    A knight stood in our base on top of one of his fallen friends and no one could hit him until the corpse vanished.
    Not even with a melee attack.

    I've been really ticked off by corpses absorbing arrows but I think it does a good job forcing archers to move around for better angles. To some extent it prevents campers who keep their cursor at "one kill spot" and spam arrows. The building thing is somewhat annoying but I like how the corpses can keep a battleground from being immediately fortified.

    rofl. Maybe make the corpses themselves destructable, that should fix it.
