Elimination of EXP when raised, and reduction of weakness timers based on Raise tier

[Bladesyphon]

I'm all for getting rid of the EXP Penalty as well. I mean, look at the math right now: At level 99, when you have a banked 55,999 EXP, and and loose a whole 600 EXP from death before any raises, it means you can die a massive 139 times before you ever de-level. And that assumes you do nothing or kill anything that gives any amount of EXP between those deaths, and if you're dying in a group, you probably are going to always have a Raise avaialble, and even if you're not in a group, the game practically throws Re-Raise 3 at you wherever you go.

Now ask yourself: Who would actually end up dieing that many times to de-level? Really the EXP loss is just a cumbersome affect to people leveling now, when the possibility of de-leveling is (slightly) higher than at the level cap. I say just get rid of the EXP penalty all together, and just go with Matsui's idea of having the various Raise levels lower the length of Weakness should be you be raised on the battlefield. Obviously there probably shouldn't be any penalty for returning to your home point, since you know...having to walk back is kind of a penalty in and of it's self.

Really, there's just no point to EXP loss on death anymore. When EXP was a precious commodity, sure, it made sense. Now, though, when EXP rains down from the heavens, showering you in it's EXP-y goodness, it's really just a slight inconvenience now than anything, and it's probably more of an intimidation factor to newer players than it is anything else. So axe the EXP loss, and just have Weakness be the penalty for being raised on the battlefield.

Greetings,

So either add a suicide option, or make it so EXP loss is eliminated only in the case of being raised/reraised, not when going to home point.

As we just made changes in the February version update to reduce the amount of experience points lost upon knock out, we’d like to monitor the current game balance for a bit. However, we are looking into removing the penalty in the future.

We do not have any plans to implement a "death warp" system for returning to your home point. Between warp scrolls, warp cudgels, and magic, we feel that there are a lot of ways to return back to your home point.

If anything left that is worth complainting and demand to be fixed that is related to death, it is the ANIMATION when you raise. Seriously, either make it so that when you raise you have a 15s of 100% PDT and MDT or get rid of this god forbid animation delay.

We are currently looking into whether we can make it so you are invincible while you are being raised.

Speaking of this, because it will happen. Are you going to make any changes to the impact that blood porting will have on Region influence? I remember back in the day Regions were actually lost because people BP'd so much it gave Beastmen control of areas.

I hate to say that, but you are a few years late. That System is already there. Plus, with the reduction of EXP loss, you just made it more desireable to Homepoint.

Why you DID reduce the exp loss penality is beyond me. Theres more exp gains in the world than i can count.

XP is so plentiful and easy to get that the maximum 600 XP you lose from dying is trivial. I can't believe anyone would actually complain about this.

People on these forums complain about anything and everything, if it makes the game a little bit easier or convenient for them... Surely you're not surprised people are still complaining about trivial things in 2014? ;-)

Thanks and that's a good start. But PLEASE remember that Invincible is only half the equation since it is only 100% PDT- and do not cover MDT- at all. Also, while you're at it, please look into a similar problem with CURE LOCKING.

[Lithera]

Cure locking is not as bad as the oh I died while still in mid air crap they are fixing. Heck it used to be worse

I'm just making sure. I have near zero faith with them.
