About the death penalty....

I've died like three times and I haven't seen any kind of negative effect for doing it. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. I keep looking for an icon or something...

only death penalty if you were supposed to drop something when you die. the dropping was removed, and all you do now (if you were supposed to drop) is get death penalty.

reduces patk, pdef, atk speed, cast speed, matk, mdef, evasion, shield def rate, speed, etc etc. i have fraps of deleveling players on guards swinging like they were in gear too high grade for them.
The new penalty has a chance to take effect, much like you had a chance to drop an item on death. You'll see an icon to let you know if you suffered the penalty on death.

I was trying with a level 51 SR. Hadn't seen the death penalty yet. But since you only have a chance of getting the death penalty and it's not for certain that you get it on death...I'll just count my blessings...

Except now, since you've used up all of your "good luck", will get a penalty next time to die to a mob. :p
I have experimented with this and got a level 30 alt that had a level 6 death penalty. Took numerous suicidal deaths to even get to level 6. Seems pretty random. The penalty shows up where your buff bar would be. You need one recovery scroll for each level of penalty - needed to buy 6 recovery scrolls to get rid of it completely. I took screen shots of the stats - if I remember - I'll try to post them somewhere so you can see the changes.
I am sorry I disagree with the death penelty instead of the chance to drop items. this is just another way to protect bots which they dont need since we cant get rid of them anyway. I beilieve they should change it so you get the death penelty everytime you die and make it so you can drop from you inventory but not the items you are currently using, this would prevent some poor guy from dropping his only weapon and leaving the game. I will still train the bots in catas everychance I get but it is just not as fun now

I am in tears. People cannot be this stupid ( I am looking at you Mischief ). This must be a bad week or something.

As for the death penalty... it's annoying. It really is. Don't get me wrong... I prefer this over dropping gear... but come on.... ressurections should be able to prevent this state.
Never underestimate the ignorance of the average person, my daddy used to say.
I like your dad. He is a good man. Reminds me a bit of myself.



Nobody can deby the fact that it is the most popular MMORPG for a REASON. 5 Million plus (I think its over 7 million actually) people arent stupid



You give "people" too much credit.

Please stop thinking this way :( Or do you think few ten thousands NA players will block away few millions Asian players because "we cannot train bots properly now"? NC cannot and will not limit their thinking and advancing around automated friend problem in NA. This game is NOT concentrated on bots, unfortunately it's side effect of changes aimed towards normal players - because of automated friends got too rampant here. Question is: cure reason, or symptoms?
