That's lame. I'm not going to spend 2 minutes in a zone that I'm in no way prepared to defend weapon-wise along with bad Stamina design to just die. The timer shouldn't stop. Just have the mobs attack the base if l leave the zone.

I just finished a raid with Trolls and had to take down at least 8. More running around hunting for feathers to make fire arrows for 4 days. There's no way I'm staying in the zone to get teamed up by Trolls and then if I do die have to run around trying to evade them to get my gear back.

Dig a moat around your base that you can jump back and forth to. Problem solved.

Unless of course caught out exploring of course. In that case, find a high vantage point and wait it out.
