[Dev 10xx] Please re-examine the return death penalty.

[Dargoth_Draconia]

I can't find a list of Dev tags anywhere and the few I did locate we not related to this subject matter.

Anyways here is the post...

Intro

The idea of a death penalty is fine, most of us agree on that. The current one really needs to go however. People dislike the repair system in general and forcing us to deal with it even more is adding to something we already dislike.

My Suggestion

1. Completely do away with the gear damage system. It sucks and very few people like it.

2. Upon returning upon death issue a 5 or 10 minute Brink of Death status effect. This will prevent people from zombie'ing things because you are pretty much useless under BOD. That is the only reason I can even find that they instituted this death penalty in the first place was to prevent that.

3. Leave the current raise and weakness system in-tact it works well. This only applies to the annoying return upon death penalty you experience when soloing leves or in dungeons when you full-wipe.

If you agree that they should remove the gear damage system and institute a DP like the one I suggested please like this post.

With enough comments and likes we can get our voices heard. As cheesy as that sounds it seems to work really well with this dev team.

1. NO, actually more people like it than not, numbers in this vote obviously show that.

2. Lesson is learn not to die or get in over your head. You die you have to pay the price, atleast it isn't like FFXI and you have to go all the way back to whatever your homepoint is.

3. You are right, the system is perfect the way it is. I accept you have an opinion and you dislike how it currently is but the majority likes it or doesn't care either way.

Could you teach me how to not crash and come back dead, cause that's been happening to me often lately, and I hate paying for repairs when the game itself crashes through no action of my own....
