Upon death, a character should lose XP, not durability.

[Akumu]

Why not have death penalty? Stops people from mindlessly going into combat and not listening. People go in not fearing something and that 'OH I'll just run back from camp'...

This didn't work for XI all it did was irritate an entire party/alliance because of someones stupidity, lag, glitch, or whatever.

[Akuun]

Wait, i'm confused, are we talking about WoW or FFXIV?
I've yet to notice any gear damage as a result of death unless it was something recently implemented.
If I have failed to notice this, it seems to be a very insignificant amount.

Can someone clear this up for me?

[Macha]

I think that obvious troll is obvious.

[Zenaku]

No thanks repair it best.

The loss of xp in Dynamis was epic fun. . .till you had ot get back the 3 levels you lost lols

I actually agree with him. You die incessantly in this game for no reason. In XI you tried not to die, in this game who cares. Durability is just gil and gil we have lots of, but outside of a likeminded linkshell you had to find yourself, most people you group up with are clueless and this is because there's no incentive or penalty if you play like idiot.

The weakened status is pretty harsh to begin with. Not being able to do anything for 3 minutes sucks, especially in a game where many of the events have time limits. I don't think we should lose durability when we die, but then again xp would be near impossible since we distribute our own stat points in this game. It would make de-leveling a nightmare to code.

XP loss in no way kept the bad players from being bad players.

[DeadRiser]

just stating my opinion, no need to hate. and it's used in other mmo's so why not this one?

[Dingleberry]

How bout neither? Both systems are stupid.

What do you suggest then, have no penalty, then what is the fear of dying?
