DAMAGED GEAR?!

[Kirku]

How does bringing back xp loss make people work harder? Sorry after delvling to 74 hundreds of times in FFXI and having to waste time re-lvling back up to 75, no it doesn't make people work harder, it provides a huge nuisance and annoyance.

I have not read or seen anywhere yet that they plan to remove this nuisance in the game? It doesn't make the game realistic nor does it make it challenging, it just makes it ANNOYING. Please someone prove me wrong if they said anything about removing this in 2.0? Forgive my venting btw :P

Maybe with the new engine they'll get to the visual aspect that was supposed to come with it. if not then yeah its pretty dame useless.

It makes people scared to die so they play better and pay more attention :3

Fine no delevel at 50 then?

Please, no =.=
If I have to endure this nuisance instead of having the way more horrible nuisance of exp loss and deleveling I'd rather keep it, thank you.

no rly bring back xp loss, makes ppl work harder spend more time regaining exp a not doing things that are actually enjoyable.

Fixed .

These are the things they need to take out of MMOs. People think that they add some degree of difficulty, but I'd much prefer the challenge to be in the battles or story content.

Removing a nuisance isn't changing a game to 'easy mode' (see arrows) It just provides a more streamlined experience.

I wan't to battle dragons, not archaic designs.

I don't understand, did they put in "Damaged Gear" instead of EXP loss? Why is everyone talking like we have to have one or the other? Can't they just take out both?

Oh don't start, I wasn't trolling I was angrily asking a question :P

well, Don't go posting anngy as you sound like a whiny whiny torll,

An they could, but games hardly having any risk/reward, challange, or choices in them now.
Everything is easy mode where can do everything and get everything, and can almost always undo anything you decide to do.

Failing or being silly should have a penalty, i've not play'd a game since EvE that has even slightly got me on the edge of my seat trying not to die.. or made me focus really hard trying to get somewherr or do something i shoudn't.
RL might be a better, but a game that makes you work can still give you a rush from time to time.

It's the same with choices, we make almost no choices that effect the game, cause some quests to open up to us and lock others..
