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.
