Title: Death thread
Post by: Yuppy on September 12, 2005, 07:56:32 pm

Death has always been a tough one to get right in an MMORPG but this one especially sucks. Everquest you respawn, UO your a ghost, list goes on.


Warping to a different world where you dont have to doanything but walk a trail that you cant see due to brightness issues and unsticking?

please reconsider this whole death realm. or make it less confusing or at least more wide open (lose the bridge and confined areas please)

I must diasagree.  Death should be a penalty, and the current way it is handeled is too leinant.  I\'m glad they will be making it more of a penalty, maybe it\'ll teach people to be more careful.

...At the time being getting out of the Death Realm is so easy, that it can\'t have any meaning other than getting  players used to what awaits them in the future. I never had brightness issues in there either. It is an easy path out of the realm of the dead...

...Right :P
That means better get ready, because soon we\'ll have to actually jump (!!!) over something to get out ;)

theres a bug at the very start of death realm (the very bottom of the stairs) where you can\'t get out of (when you unstick it teleports you to outside of death realm and then unsticks back into the bug in the stairs

I havent encountered any bugs in DR... and if you look at another thread in the wish list named \"a great new idea(dieing related)\" you will see that it cant really be changed... half say it should be a penalty and half say it shouldnt... and they both have great reasons... Like the ones that say it should be MOSTLY say that it need to be a punishment to make people careful and to make it realistic... however the ones that say it shouldnt MOSTLY say that is does NOT need to be a punishment because it would discourage anyone from trying anything new and dangerous... which is what this game is mostly about... SO! its your decision and i say there should be a poll... That would really see how many... and it would get people involved or else they might miss a chance to make a difference...

But yes DR is too easy...
