New K.O. Penality!

[Splinters]

Hi,

Well this is the idea, nowadays we are not affraid of die, we dont care of K.O. and it's mean nothing wrong (beside weak timer), death dont anymore inspire fear, and I think this is sad.

Moreover, nowadays EXP is really easy to obtain...

So the idea is put a new K.O "Penality" and some new options
(Currently K.O Penaility: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/K.O. )

New K.O. Penality (for lv 90+ only):

-When you die, if your Homepoint, Reraise I or Raise I you lost 14,3%~ Exp
(so this mean 7 Dead = LV down)

-When you die, if you have Reraise II or Raise II you lost 10%~ Exp
(10 Dead = Lv down)

-When you die if you have Reraise III or Raise III you lost 6,6%~ Exp
(15 Dead = Lv down)

-When you die if you have Araise you lost 5% Exp
(20 Dead = Lv down)

And a new fun option idea!

-When you have Reraise (1, 2, 3) or Raise (1, 2, 3) on you, you can choose to wake up normaly (5 min "weakness" penality)
OR 2nd option, with only 3min weak penality but this 2nd option cost 20% exp loose on the actual level.

-If you have Araise on you choose the option 2 mean the same exp penality but with only 1min30sec of weakness. (3min with option 1 of course)

Thank you for your attention, i think its a good idea for the new expansion that coming in 2013 to add some "spice" in FFXI, who is a little tasteless these days (in terms of emotions).

I didn't think Tanaka had any english-speaking children. I have an idea. Let's have a bicycle race on a bumpy road with solid metal tires. WTH, remove the seat too.

Calling the OP 'english-speaking' is a little far-fetched.

Think i'll pass. as mentioned, the xp loss was already adjusted a while back, and we have considerably worse problems to worry about right now than the meager xp we lose upon death.

Like a fat guy with severe diabetes buying two bags of Caramel Apple Milky Ways because of the season, I somehow can not resist replying to this topic.

So, people use Perfect Defense and Earthen Armor and Sentinel's Scherzo because they like the animations? And -% Damage Taken sets are used because people want to deal less damage while wearing ridiculous-looking garb?

If there was no "weak" penality and instant reraise no one should care of this yeah (exept that you lost 10 sec to wakeup and re-engage)
So thanks for the weak timer, that made the game some sence, at least

Why some people play game like Diablo on "hardcore" mode, that because its brings a certain satisfaction in term of gameplay,
I do not want FFXI that much hardcore, but just a little exp malus should add some spice thats all
(In fact, I miss watching tarutaru mages /panic, running as fast as they can to try, and beleive maybe they will prevent an inevitable LV down lol) :evil:

sense... its senSe /sigh

And people play games to get away from reality.. not be reminded of it... lol

People also don't want to die because of other reasons, such as buffs. For instance in VW I wouldn't mind dying, except my Berserk, Aggressor, Warcry, Last Resort, Souleater, Diabolic Eye, Endark, & many buffs from mages & temps are all gone. Really Double Delay & -75% Max HP/MP sucks but I could live with it, my real kick in the balls is the loss of all buffs including food too, which is money.

And in Legion you don't wanna die, because if you do, your chance of clearing the area was just halved. That alone is incentive enough to try not to die, we don't need to lose EXP as well. Honestly, EXP should just be locked at 99.
