Death penalty timer ticks down incorrectly

Post by ltlukoziuz »

Description
==========
Before time update, stat penalty after death would last for "(characterlevel / 3) * 2 IG hours (12 RL minutes)". After it, because gameticks got shortened to 5 minutes, the current timer is "(characterlevel / 3) * 30 IG minutes (10 RL minutes)". While this works, text in-game still ticks down as gameticks were 6 minutes long

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
Be high-leveled (was at 23 myself, I imagine it would be harder to see at low levels)
Die, respawn through fugue plane.
Wait while penalty ticks down.

Expected result
-----------------------
Text outputs penalty by new standard (so for example, level 23 character starts at 70 minutes)

Actual result
-------------------
Text outputs penalty by old standard, which means that penalty is showing too much time, and ends while there's still ~20 mins left in timer, if you would trust text. (for example, for me at respawn it wrote that I had 92 minutes of penalty, I got fully recovered next tick after writing 22 minutes) (see screenshot for better explanation)
