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

[Arximiro]

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.

No, I think it's fine how it is right now >_>

Like THIS post if you like the gear damage system as well as the current death penalty.

yes please re-examine
it needs to be higher, lets say 25% per death and return

I agree, Death went from nothing, to abit annoying. Make it matter!

Current Death penalty + experience loss and stat loss(with a way to regain stats through another system of interaction(not time)

As much as i hate repair system, i prefer them to 5-10min BoD.

What? So you hate the current system but you would rather they have us pay real money to repair things? It's hardly "the dumbest most ignorant shit I've ever seen". Repair systems are fine and dozens upon dozens of games use similar systems. Hell at least it's not as stupid as Fallout 3's repair system.

I'd honestly prefer losing 10% of how much my current level takes in SP upon death return, as long as they let us get a buffer like in XI. They seem to be against that kind of DP so I had to find some other suggestion...

Being forced to stand in Ul'dah naked every day on my Roegadyn is getting a little ridiculous however, no one wants to see that. I don't like to let my gear go below 60% so maybe I am being too OCD about the whole thing.

Don't die as much.

Problem solved.
