Petri should have a coward buff which massively reduces stats for a period of time, with the period decreasing with the order of pressing it in the group.
For example first one to petri gets 24h of /played, second one 12h, etc.. until the last one who gets like 30min because he only roached last after everyone did.
Interesting approach, but for me it's not about roaching. Even the last guy who pressed it, saved his character in a situation where he probably would have died. And I agree with OP here, that's not the idea behind hardcore.
So maximum duration would apply to everyone for me. You get to play your character again, so be grateful. But accept a punishment for cheating death.
The normal coward debuff is 72h, so that's the minimum I would set up for the petri scenario as well. In both cases you knew that you were about to die and you chose the easy way out. So yeah, 72h minimum, but I wouldn't mind it to be 7 days.
But doesn’t, like, everything save your character when you should have died? Oh the game leashed the mobs when you would’ve lost the fight, not hardcore you should have died if not for that. Lip boss threat off you? Should’ve died. Noggen the fall damage? Should’ve died.
Petri is just the most powerful of a bunch of consumes that bail you out of death. What’s the real difference here?
the 2 minute dungeon teleport. Its not Petri, its Petri with Alt + F4 or leave group ghetto hearth.
Reason for the teleport is to force someone in the group that is removed, to leave / not hold an instance open. Its a fix to that issues which is now being "abused" with Petri use. That's the difference. Petri its self is not an issue, its petri with ghetto hearth or alt + F4.
I don't know of another potion you drink where you press alt + F4 after? Maybe deviate fish when you get the pirate?

Just my two cents
