KO - effect and penalty [suggestion]

[Nephera]

If a player dies, there could be some sort of shock-wave and:

- the shock wave would kick back all party members
- people nearby could suffer HP loss (maybe within a radius)
- all party could suffer some TP/MP loss
- party members could suffer from various status effects (poison, blind and so on)
- loss of all protective buffs

I think some of those effects would cause a chain reaction of player deaths fairly often, which while being really funny would probably also be very frustrating, dont get me wrong if there was a specific encounter that triggered this kind of stuff on death then it'd be awesome.

however this

Imagine: When getting dangerously low on HP:
- the sound theme would change to something more urgent
- you would hear a heart beat
- some visual effect on the screen, red glow around the corners, blurry/shaky vision or something... nothing annoying! It must look cool!

yes, I like it, and a few more death animations would be nice.

I mentioned that not all of them would take effect and the punishment does not have to be drastic but it could add trill and excitement and certainly a reason not to die...
people would adapt and adjust i think.
