Poll: Damage/Death Penalty

[Serpent]

The results are in and the Devs have listened to the majority of the forum users.

The final results are:

Are you for the Damage/Death penalty as currently implemented on Risia?

Yes: 19
No: 48
Unsure: 4

Say what you will, I believe the numbers speak for themselves. Thank you to all who participated, regardless of how your opinion was bent.

[Serpent]

done

[Baron]

no, TO THE POINT OF CANCALLATION OF ACCOUNT

[moorewr]

no, TO THE POINT OF CANCALLATION OF ACCOUNT

Yes, and can I have your stuff?

[woodspider]

I believe it is a little to harsh. But to be honest, I can not come up with a better Idea. And Death needs to be a problem in this game.

[MysticTheurge]

No offense, but like "petitions," polls of this nature are fairly pointless.

[Catica]

A big NO! from me. Went on Risia last night, ugghhh... Good thing I love my guild and the people I play with its about the only thing keeping me from leaving the game at this point.

[Hendrik]

YES!

After testing it on Risia, not NEARLY as bad as it is made out to be.

I think I can manage the 500plat to repair my gear after a death, even as a CLR.

[wizzy_catt]

No!

[Samadhi]

No!

[Gengulphus]

No!

I'm going to want to pass along my uber items to guildmates, friends, alts when my main hits 16, then (especially) 17-20, when those items won't be as useful to him, but they will be to others.

[Ron]

Yes,

And BTW, your poll is going to be skewed to the players that come to the forums, which is NOT the same as a representative sampling of the player base. Which is true of all forum polls, but in this particular instance, I think it makes a difference.

[Pfamily]

Well, without making a completely subjective statement about the relevance of threads like this...I'd have to agree with the "not really in favor of it, but haven't seen a better option yet" camp.

I'll wait to see it in it's near-to-final form before commenting, if at all. I suspect it'll change with time.

Very true any forum sampling is strongly of the player base skewed in favor of the people who post a helluva lot more than they play; typically they are very shortsighted and have very little game related insight to provide. You're right it makes a difference.

agree with this, which is why for the people that don't read the forums.....this is going to probably be a quitting the game changer.

.. .and further skewed to those who bother with Risia.

[slumbering_dragon]

i'm for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[roggane]

I'm gonna have to say resounding no.

It's ridiculous to take so much damage upon death. I've NEVER had that much damage to my items running through regular quests.

How fun is it gonna be to have to wait on people to recall to repair items?

I'm not in favor of eventually having to bind my items. Basically, we are being forced to do this. I don't like that when new items come out I might not be able to switch items out and pass them on to my other characters/guildmates/friends.

[chemonz]

NO!!

I hate being forced to play one certain way. If I want to Twink new characters I should be able to without active discouragement.

[Hvymetal]

Yes.
