Thread: Bring back deleveling in 2.0

This is not FFXI. If you like deleveling go play FFXI.

One way to make death (KO really) more impactful is to introduce a maximum KO penalty in certain dungeons (and replace the speed-run bonuses)

I would much rather do a dungeon run where you get the final chest only if the party has suffered less that 5 KOs than a dungeon run where we have to race past all the content to beat it in under 15 min. (a certain Monster Hunting game did something like this and it worked out nicely)

But XP loss/deleving... no thanks.

I agree with the fact there should be a higher penalty, but death exp was one of the things I absolutely HATED in XI. Not only did it become frustrating when you were in a non-communicative LS party, but when you're fighting something tough and the rate it took to get back up made me want to cry. In fact, after two delevels in one day over fighting some boss a few years ago made me quit the game.

Of course, the exp gains won't be nearly as bad, but then that points out that the exp loss isn't really that threatening as a result.

I say throw in something else. I like the idea of debt penalty or the speed run treasure chest, but don't bring back more XI mechanics than we already have now.

No, I played 11 for long enough, I'm fine with having to fix my gear when I die, I do not want to worry about losing access to a level capped piece/ability.
