Death Penalty Changes in 0.11.3

unnecessary with this change!

rethought it...and get rid of this "allocated 6s idea" RIGHT NOW...theres absolutely no need for it plz nd ty,
love you GGG, sometimes the ones you love need to learn the hard way, sometimes they need to be to be told the easy way, this is an instance of the latter

Coming soon full respecs.
Coming soon an auction house.

Yeah I've seen this sad tale before.

Stop watering the game down please.

I don't like the 6s allocation. I like perm allo so that people aren't risking their lives to grab that unique drop in the middle of a group of mobs but the 6s added a thrill every so often when they drop, as soon as you see it everyone runs to pick it up and it felt rewarding to have snagged it up first. It also rewarded melee players risking their life in the middle of everything.

It's quite interesting to see one of the major arguments for SA used by various PA supporters in this thread as an argument for this tiny little remnant of SA/FFA that hasn't been removed yet. What do you think this could tell us?

Were the stakes too high for you to enjoy it when it was applied all items? Is it the low worth of these items that make it more fun because you're not afraid of not getting a more expensive item in time, but you still enjoy the basic loot tension mechanic?

Or was it just too difficult to keep track of all drops, and now that it's just one or two item types you have to look out for, you can finally take part in it even with lower skill and grasp the fun of it?

A bit of both?

Wow, really?
I remember when this was a hardcore game. Now everyone plays on permanent so there's no fighting over loot, even 6 sockets soon apparently. Next patch will be chromes is my guess.
Making softcore even more softcore, so bosses can be zerged down more effectively?
You're cutting the balls off of your own game.

I honestly dont think 4L or 6L should be allocated at all. The fight for the item is half the fun of being in groups. If you get it, it's awesome.. if you don't, it sucks. That's the way it should be. I guess people would find a way to use a pick-it system though; if it were like that for everything.

Death pentaly reduction is nice, but I think you reduced it too much. 5% and 10% seem good to me.

Im not sure how I feel about the penalty nerf. I think this would work better:

Keep penalty the same. First death has no penalty but starts a 15 or 30min timer. Any death during that timer is full penalty and starts the timer. Occassional desync or "oops" death on SC is ok, attrition is still very bad.

This I like

This is interesting.

Lots of people are complaining about not being able to grab 6-sockets before less attentive players can. I.e. they like to ninja.

So, why not just put "Free for all" or "Short allocation" when you start a group?

Is that because casual players will not join those game modes and you'll have to fight equals in gaining your loot? You complain this game is made too easy, but all you want to do is nab loot from casual players.

If this is not the case, then just stick to Free for all game modes and quit complaining. Jeez.

First patch that sucks. Death penalties were already too low.

I vote for 50% for Cruel and 100% for Merciless.


PATCH. SUCKS. ARRRRGGHH.

Please don't start turning this game into some Mainstream dog shit after all this time...
