Thank you GGG! You are awesome!	Posted by r3s1s74nc3 on Jul 25, 2013, 1:43:49 AM Quote this Post
I don't play SC but I think it should be that high because Death should be meaningful.	Posted by KenshiD on Jul 25, 2013, 1:43:51 AM Quote this Post
Good move GGG. The penalty was too high to keep more casual gamers interested after hitting the wall known as act 3 cruel. The hardcore guys have their league, as if anyone takes softcore progression seriously anyway. Keep doing whats best for long term success of the game =)	Posted by doritoburrito on Jul 25, 2013, 1:43:57 AM Quote this Post

If an item has 6 sockets, it is now allocated to a player for a certain amount of time, just like rare items are. Thanks!!

Explaination anyone?? 4 linked items get allocated to one player, not free for all, but right now 6 sockets don't, but this is going to change so they do get allocated. BTW, someone in my team found a 6L lvl ~60 dex armor tonight, pretty amazing to see because it is maybe more rare to drop than a mirror? I'm not sure, but I have never seen mirror drop for anyone.

It is definitely not more rare than a mirror. IGN: ThrobbinRobin	Posted by Sodomee on Jul 25, 2013, 1:46:43 AM Quote this Post
I'm not going to comment on the heated discussion on EXP loss (and it's not relevant to me anyway), but I am perfectly fine and agree with six socket items being allocated. They are one jeweller off of having the value of a chaos, not like chromatic links which are fine unallocated as-is. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ PocketMonsters, ElectronicArts, CommandAndConquer, CaptainFairgraves, AgentTanya, OcarinaOfTime	Posted by Spikey00 on Jul 25, 2013, 1:46:45 AM Quote this Post
In City of Heroes, you paid off experience dept gradually, so while in dept you earned experience at a 50% rate, while the remaining 50% of your experience went to pay off your debt. Still, that could be a huge deterrent if you had a lot (since the cap was around 1 whole level of debt). Still, I play my standard characters pretty wrecklessly, so I am fine with the current proposal.

I wonder if GGG ever considered implementing a value death penalty besides or instead of the experience one. Implement durability on items, or use the quality attribute to force usage of orbs upon death.	Posted by JohnWeps on Jul 25, 2013, 1:48:24 AM Quote this Post
