Should be reduced to -10% only. 15% is too great. The rest of the 'end-game' content will be available along with a heap of new stuff when the game launches in a few months time. From what I've seen it's going to be awesome. - Michael_GGG	Posted by tobes111#6962 on Feb 24, 2013, 9:33:33 PM Quote this Post

You can make a suggestion thread to make a "no xp penalty" league, but I highly doubt it'll ever be one.

It's called Diablo 3 :)	Posted by Deleted on Feb 24, 2013, 9:50:51 PM

Having a death cost me my time as a penalty is disrespectful to me as a person. Like I said: if there was an option to play this game without a death costing me my real life: I would play that option in a heartbeat. This game is awesome. I enjoy many aspects of this. There are 3-4 items that annoy me however. A death penalty is a major annoyance that is enough of a pain in the ass that I doubt I'll ever play past level 70 on any character - maybe I'll level 1-2 more characters... hit 70... then see that's it for me since this one annoyance is great enough to prevent me from wanting to play for seeing as a death sets me back HOURS of my life. Capiche? Agree. Once you are 70+ one death due to lag (doesnt help when you play from Australia) means at least 1 hr of hard work. very anti-fun. Makes people build towards tank and leech off people in parties!!! yay! Rather than building dps builds.

" Having a death cost me my time as a penalty is disrespectful to me as a person. you had fun playing the game during that time. if the only fun you have is the outcome of your time spent, you are looking at it the wrong way.

I agree with the OP. It's pure time sink mechanic, and cuts off a lot of builds. I was ok at Cruel's 7.5, but 15% is turning this into a monotonous grind. (Rather than an entertaining grind.) Peg the merciless difficulty at 7.5%, or maybe think about quality decay on gear/gems as an alternative. I'd much rather lose in game currency rather than level progress.

The exp penalty on death is perfect the way it is. Any suggestions to tweak the current system surely belong in the suggestions forum, and outright bashing the system is a waste of everyone's time. On a side note, it's a very strong sign of a video game addiction to say things like "losing hours of my life" or "that's not even fun." The game is the way it is now until further notice, and if it turns out that its not quite your cup of tea, so be it. Either make constructive suggestions in the proper forum and still have some fun playing this video game, or spend your time doing something you enjoy. #yolo	Posted by Subversus#0401 on Feb 24, 2013, 10:42:18 PM Quote this Post
