The hell! dou you mean that if your character died, you have to start all over again. What if you are almost done with the mission and u died, u have to grind again to regain all what was lost

If people spent days of playing but made a mistake and force them to start over. After serval times they will quit the game and tell their friends not to buy it.
People won't buy a game that frustrate them.

You could warp to any town you have found from a town, but not mid mission or mid adventure area. If you wanted to quit out of an area you would either have to back track to the town you entered the area from , or log. In the case of missions if you have -60% then you can quit to start. The warping to towns is intergral to the game and I can never see it being removed, but it also makes the gameworld feel smaller and actually takes away a feeling of traveling from the game. |

Nobody can ressurect. You can once regain your health and energy. Monks should perhaps have extra strong healing capabilities and defending skills. What is wrong with the system as it works now? Dying makes you now weaker; it is in fact not dying but getting wounded. Dying should at least have an aspect of failure so that you have to start over. It would also attribute to better teamwork and -tactics. |

I will be the only one to support this proposition... and even then, only in part. I don't like the idea of losing the res (this is also a strategy that comes into play on a lot of quests/missions... especially when resses are limited and there are barriers along the path to the dead).
It would be kind of neat if there was a hardcore server though, where when you died you returned the outpost minus your team. I would definately sacrifice one of my characters to be able to play on the Hardcore Server.

At anyrate, I do not support this idea unless a seprate server of some kind was setup specifically for hardcore players, since it kinda goes against the grain a.net was trying to establish in the first place.
Wow, this is one idea I have no support for what so ever. I wouldnt mind if they made a hardcore option, cause I simply wouldnt do it. But if they changed GW to fit this system, I simply wouldnt play.
I like the way it is now, its not mean to be super tactical hard PvE. Sounds like players who like this type of idea would be better off playing Mario.

well, if the OP likes that type of game, go play Neverwinter Nights, and use the old Fraghause Krynn server.
after level 3, there was a sertain persentage that your chars death was a 'perma-death' and that server is one that when you die, your gear, your items, cash and clothes...everythign infact, is dropped where you died at, and then you have to run back form the starting area to get your stuff, only to find that some *nice person* has taken everything you had....
definately, not signed
i hated that stuff and im not going to play that way again unless im majorly compensated for such *&$* with other in game stuff like houses and crop farming and animal breeding and so on ^^
