exactly, why be rude to each other?
i feel ya on the crashing thing, but theres not much that can be done about it unfortunately
**** happens, even if its the game crashing on you and its the game somehow erroring and not something on your end(settings too high for your system for instance can crash you alot) theres not much that can be done on the programming end to fix it besides fixing the cause of the crashes
I play solo (haven't found a LS yet) and I like the damage system and the death penalty.
I prefer that to losing SP or the previous death penalty.
There really seems to be a lot of cry babies on this forum.
(Gee, wonder which MMO they all came from)
Gear damage isn't that bad. The first night the dungeon was released and we had no idea what we were walking into their were a lot of deaths. Ogre beat us up, as i'm sure he beat up everybody the first one or two runs in. And, of course, then, instead of exiting, we would run back in for more. This was death and more death. Our gear was annihilated.
Big whup.
We fixed it outside the dungeon and went back in.
What's the big deal? Crafters are everywhere. If your linkshell doesn't have any simply walk to the favorite hang out of any endgame linkshell and your stuff will be repaired (by those evil "hardcores") probably pretty fast.
In fact, if you're too poor to afford.... 5K .... they'll probably even do it for free.
I was once on this forum advocating for an XP loss for death but I honestly just don't think it would really work well with this game unless they drastically change the party dynamic. I think gear damage and weakness is fine as is.
And no, this form of death penalty doesn't hurt people who solo challenging content.
Let's just be honest... people that solo challenging content can afford to fix their gear, if they can't fix it themselves.
The results are in, it looks like the majority (at least on this forum) think gear damage and the current return upon death penalty is good. Or at least the one I proposed is too extreme.
So with that I ask the devs.... will you please put in reraise soon? Ty
It should take 3+ days of a casual grind to come close for a player to have to repair their gear. We see an abuse of a good system is all.
some info on gear death penalty from JP reps.
Copy/paste from my translation thread:
=============================
JP side has a thread talking about suggestions/concerns on issues after 1.18 patch and rep got response on the following, more info should come next week from the Rep :)
