Death Penalty

Click the "Characters" tab.

This is why SE implemented this forum feature, so we can clearly tell who is playing the game and giving honest feedback, and who is playing for 10 mins then going "screw this, it sucks" then jumping onto the forums to complain. Also a great tool for immediately discovering who is simply a troll with an account and no game time, and who is actually a player. Love it.

I like that they did this as well

Yep because the character tab is a clear indication of how long I play the game.

It is. What you've been discussing also makes it obvious how little experience you have with this game. Like the fact that you keep forgetting raise exist.

There's a few options in this case. You've either barely played, have an absolutely horrendous memory, or you're doing a very poor job of trolling and need to step up your game.

Except you don't get raise until rank 38 DoM. Not everyone has that. Him not taking that into account does not indicate either of those things. You really shouldn't jump to such extreme conclusions.

What's more I completely agree with Chezen. We gamers already have horrible reputations. Let's try not to prove them true people.

Airlea. If it makes you feel better to label me as troll then knock yourself out. If it is easier to take the "insult" route instead of discussing the topic at hand, again knock yourself out. But we all know that raise is ONLY available at lvl 38 which makes it pretty much out or reach for the first 37 ranks of magic classes which its only available to and you need to be in a party for someone to raise you. After all you can't raise yourself. For something that conditional it baffles me why you would point it out as some Achilles heel to my point or my the time spent playing the game. But I guess if you are not lvl 50 your opinion does not count.

There should be a death penalty. Doesn't have to be XP loss, doesn't have to be getting sent to the graveyard, DEFINITELY doesn't have to be like Everquest/Diablo, but it needs to exist. Lenient (and by that I mean nonexistant) penalties just encourages scrubby play and teamwork. There's no fun in it for people that are looking for actual depth in a game.

When I go into a hard battle in online games, I like to think "My party needs to be on point and I can't make too many mistakes or else we will lose and die horrible deaths". It makes me nervous, uneasy, and excited. You know why I like that? Because when I actually win it feels amazing to know that you overcame the possibility of getting your EXP bar molested or something like that AND you got the awesome drops/dungeon clear/whatever. It's a matter of preference though, kinda like how you would feel much better clearing a Contra game on hard than you would beating Call of Duty hurr durr respawn where you died for free.

[Chezen]

I don't get why someone having a different opinion has to turn into a beatdown.

Thinking the death penelty is unecessary does not make a troll. Calling him stupid for having the idea makes that person a troll.

Sigh.

i'm disagree with death penalty like ffxi, ffxi is old game, in the past it works but now, ffxiv need more people for survive, same system that ffxi could be kill the game
so i prefer death penalty system like WoW, with better gear you paid more for repairs

As I stated earlier, I think the penelty is too light myself. And honestly, for my own preference, gear repair really doesn't do anything. Money grows on trees here. (Maybe it won't always, but it's still an easy fix). Unless the repairs stacked and would actually break down enough to take you out of the fight after say, 3 times.

But gear stats don't even matter that much right now, some say you can fight in your drawers and win. Haven't tried that myself lol. Hope that changes with the reforms.

Oh no not again, remember FFXI
Tank afraid to tank cuz White does not know how to heal.
And Healer afraid to heal cuz Tank does not provoke.

Just in case you guys forgot.
