Permanent Death Servers

[BlackomegaKingofwaffles]

I to would like a server specifically tailored to my silliest of whims, and don't bother telling me its a bad idea your only options are to agree with me or politely decline to join in my nonsense. We can do this guys together we can make a permanent death server where when you die your account gets banned, everyone within a 500 yalm radius of your death also dies, the sky is bright magenta and everyone has 8 legs!

I would love that thank you for the suggestion. I'm going to make a new thread now advocating account bans for dying. XD

Couldn't do it. I'd throw myself into traffic in a blind rage.

That would never work in FFXIV. I can assure you that the vast majority of the population, up to and including even the best players out there, can not last two weeks (and I'm being generous here) regularly doing endgame content without dying at least once. And each new content would essentially reset the entire server population.

I highly doubt even the most hardcore players would play on such a server for longer than a month. In other worlds, it would be a wasted effort.

This kind of model simply isn't feasible for this game, as much as it can be fun in other games that are prepared from the ground up to have it.

Just because something exists in other games, it doesn't mean it's applicable to every game model.

I wouldn't mind a perma death server to be honest only if the server was severely limited. Only this server would have world pvp, and the only safe zone is the inn or your player house.

1. No exp allowed. Cap is lvl 1 and will always be one.

2. Starting gear only. All gear is lvl 1 no exceptions.

3. No crafting/gathering classes. Gil is only for getting repairs from NPCs.

4. All attackable npcs are aggressive and their levels would range from 15~99.

5. No instances and no claim on mobs.

The challenge would be to complete the main story at lvl 1.

I disagree. I don't know of many usefull aetheryte camps that can't be acquired without death. Nor do I know of any gatherable materials that cannot be acquired without death. I don't see how acquiring any materia is based on dieing either and AF gear is push over content. AV and CC speed runs can easily be done without dieing but then again, who needs darklight anyway? Besides Relic Weapons and Primals I believe most of the content in his game can be done without dieing.

All of these negative responses are actually subjective opinions masked as objective facts. I see a lot of "SE is too lazy" and "the servers can't handle this" or even "the game isn't designed for this" but none of that is true in any way, shape or form. I'll remind you all the FFXI had an experience loss and deleveling mechanism built into death - if such is possible then permanent death ought to be too.

Again it's as Flan Flan says, if you don't like it then don'tp lay on it. I still don't see a valid reason why this could not be possible from a technical stand point. As for you Flan Flan, I hope to see you around on sargatanas in the future realm reborn. Cheers~~

your not really thinking hard are you. Your not realizing that your refute is based on the fact that the actions on the permadeath server, is a complete mirror of the current nonperma one with the gear obtained through nonperma dungeons and the experience gained through the current non-perma death servers. Basically your not fully immersing yourself in perma death environment and society before saying things can be done. Such a server also affects human psychology as no one wants their characters to be in the top hate list if something goes wrong.

This is a forum and a general discussion. You are bound to get answeres that you dont like. Unless its some sort of troll post, saying not to reply to such a thread you might as well have the OP state in bold red that they only want posts that agree with him. Because that is what you are encouraging by saying "if you don't like it then don'tp lay on it"

You can delete your character every time you die in normal servers and.. you got permadeath. Nobody stop you to do it if you want to play like this.

Please explain to me the gear that you have in mind which requires death in order to obtain, other than relic and primal loot? Triple melded crafted gear? Oh wait... it's crafted. Last I checked triple melded gear was on par if not the best.

I played D3 and I know how effin hard it was and still is to beat inferno mode on a normal server let alone Hardcore. And people still played Hardcore Mode (perma death) for that matter. One of the top D3 players in Europe (live feed n all) actually got killed by a bunch of wyverns in Act 3 or 4 (dont remember)Hardcore Inferno because he alt tabbed out for a few seconds. You should have seen him laugh it off then say "oh well its just a game" despite having lost in one second of stupidity 60+ hours of gameplay.

I guarentee you if there was just ONE perma death server there would be more than enough demand to fill it, for the simple fact that it presents a challenge and players love challenges. I think that is a valid reason in it's own and I don't think it would be a server wasted contrary to all you negative nancys.

Besides no one said not to reply to this post nor to criticize it and that is not at all what I am encouraging by saying "if yu don't like the idea don't play on the server" more specifically I am encouraging this kind of attitude:

If Flan Flan wants to go to a perma death server, I'm not stopping him. lol. I'll stay right where I am, thank you very much.

And what's wrong with that?
