Risk Factor. Can I have it?

WELL now they are going to take death out of the factor............ /sigh Esuna - Removes weakness.

The death penalty is laughable as it is, why not just due away with death all together now!? just make it where we can't die.

As someone who wants death to matter more, not less I guess it depends on how long the cool-down is. I would hope something this powerful would have a long cool-down.

if i die i want drop all of my gears in my corpse , until i recover it. and my body is going to be wiped in 10 mins if untouched.

no....just...no...

Hence, my compromise. Hell, keep repairing/deterioration if you want, BUT exp loss needs to be there. Otherwise, there's no accountability. Nobody gives a sh%^ if they die -hell, they can make strategies around it. At the very least, exp loss, but some kind of deleveling "cap" (like "limit breaks" in XI that, rather than allow you to push forward, they keep you from degressing). At worst, no deleveling at all.


Anyway, there needs to be something about dying that REALLY deters ppl from doing so, or they won't make as much of an effort to stay alive. Or worse, as mentioned earlier, they'll find away to exploit it.

Nah I'm good. If I wanted that stuff I would still be playing ffxi

I would like to see the death system take a more interesting direction:

Like in fable when you "died" or "KO"ed you got a big scar every time, them more times the more hideous the scarring became....of course add very expensive scar removal fees and BAM! you got a way to sink a ton of gils out of the economy, a nice effective "I don't want to die" mechanism, that does not take forever to recover from, of course if you get a raise you don't take the scar etc.

I think it's far better than costing someone game progress or wasting time on some silly penalty.

Adds for some nice Role play options too,

"Damn Bob you look like you got beat with an ugly stick!"

Except it's not really a punishment for people who want to look that way or don't care.
