An open discsusion on the consequences of death

[kukurumei]

I agree that there needs to be a penalty for death but I will draw the line on EXP/SP loss. I would hate to see that implemented again. Do not want to be in fear of de-leveling again.

What would work and is more in line with what we have currently in game is if you take a heavy damage penalty to all your equipped gear for each death. Something around 10-15% loss for every death.

Bad part about that is, if you're going to repair anyway, why fear a little death. Currently repairing a 10% equipment is the same as repairing a 74% equipment.

And if you can repair your own equipment..that shall we say is pretty darn cheap, death warp away!

And for SP debuff...it's all XP debt in WoW...it curbed people somewhat but not much for end-gamers. Those reckless end-gamers are still dying by the dozens every so often.

It all comes down to SP again, though de-leveling is a controversy.
