Yoshi P comments on death penalty and more

Dignity?

Why play a game that is not challenging?

I think you're right.... screw EXP loss, that's not challenging at all. For XIV we look at bigger and improved death penalty! Level loss, you die, you lose a level... you die again you lose 2!! You die enough time you gotta remake your character from scratch now that's challenging!

24 hour ban on first death, 48 hour ban on second, 72 hour ban on third, account deletion on fourth. Die 4 times you gotta buy the game again.

Now that's challenging!

Agreed.

Yoshi-P you hear that? That's what we want! But don't worry about pushing away all the casual players or whatever audience you are trying to reach, us hardcore challenge seekers will be here for a while... all 3 of us......

lmao. That gave me a good laugh.

I asked this before so I will ask again. Those that want xp/sp loss would you still choose it if we had 2 options to decide what happens with death? for example...

You create your character and at the end you choose a penalty given from the "gods" for you failing(aka dying).

1) xp loss and weakened

2)1 of the 2 choices the dev team is deciding on(meaning whichever one they choose).

If this was the case people should be happy all around right? The minority still get their nuts pushed in while the rest can enjoy the game and just be pissed they died(cause I don't know who enjoys dying
even now).


edit: Annoying and longer time sinks can never increase a challenge. It just creates scared paranoid players like in XI. It is also a deal breaker with most casuals.

I said before that SE needs both HARDCORE and CASUALS to be successful.
