The 10% EXP penalty on death NEEDS TO GO

So you think bruteforcing bosses/hard mobs is good game design?

In my opinion death penalty should have never been nerfed to begin with.

Sorry but I don't consider a lag spike to be evidence of failure in a character design.

Like I said, when a mechanic prompts the player to skip content rather than participate in it it's a flawed design. Period.

But I'm glad you like losing so much experience if you die. There is a hardcore mode where you lose your character if you die I believe. Maybe you should go play that mode.

And no, when I die and lost a weeks' worth of work because of a lag spike it doesn't make me "not want to die". It simply makes me want to quit :)

1 or 2% would be "punishment" enough. Not all of us play games so we can be "punished"...

I have no idea how lag/desync has to do with the inherent penalty on death mechanic.

If they removed lag/desync completely your still going to bitch about the 10% xp loss.

The mechanic is good if the player can make a informed decision whenever or not to do it, if I have 0% cold resist and the map has all enemies do extra cold damage. It isn't a bad mechanic because I choose not to wreck myself in the map.

If you can't understand what lag/desync has to do with why the death penalty is overly punishing then I can't help you. Some things should be so obvious they need not an explanation.

Heh, remember when the penalty was 30%, and people said "10% would be plenty!"

Leave it alone. There has to be an increasing consequence for dying.

And I'll try once more to explain the correlation between lag and death so you can understand why players would want to skip difficult content to avoid death.

You see often-times this game lags, and if you are in the middle of doing difficult content where you can die quickly that lag spike will mean your death most-likely, and cause you to lose tons of work. So that is why players choose to just skip doing it. It's not because they are built poorly or aren't as awesome as you obviously think you are.

You need to stop trying to puff yourself up at my expense and just recognize no player should be punished so harshly for something out of their control.
