Wtb Perma death game mode

Just courious, how hard would this be to do.

New multiplayer game mode where death is perma death but has its own character slot. So that you can play all regular modes with your regular character or play the death mode with a character designed for that mode only.

Sounds fun, I wanna try it.

 

We don't even have enough players to make the existing modes feel alive... I wouldn't bother creating more of them

 

Yea I agree with that, I was thinking down the road if this game does good and pulls in enough players. It would be a terrible idea for the game in its current state.

 

Play, and if you die just delete your char

 

Perma death is double-edged sword, in some games this rule works perfectly fine, but this is not the game imho.

 

Yea but the whole point is to have one you dont have to risk and another you can if u want.

 

With discipline you and others could be doing it now. Make a thread where people decry their vowels to live only on one life, or make up some other process that needs to be done to "get you life back".

 

Please explain how it would not work in how I out lined it.

The mode only allowes the toon you created for that specific mode and the rule set is applied only to that toon if it dies its a perma death. Also that character created for perma death mode could not play in anyother mode. They play in the multi player universe like the regular multiplayer game.

** this is a pure speculation thread no need to get bent out of shape on wierd side note things like this would take away from delevlopment time etc.

 

I agree I would like it too, but I think I wouldn't have time and passion for that

 

Great point, why would anyone want to level another toon for that mode...

Except mabey those wanting a extreme challange. In d3 hc mode was cool because you only saw others with the same risk level. And siege perlious was a new world im not sure thats even possible here.

 

Actually, for perma-death to be worth doing, an entire copy of the world with it's own economy and PvP would have to exist.

Perma-death players shouldn't be running around with non-perma-death players... because it kinda defeats the purpose.

With that said, as much as I would like a perma-death mode, the game would require a better game-play flow to warrant starting over again. Right now, it can only offer grinding so that's no good.

 

Yea as you can see in my last post I was coming to this conclusion.

 

Doesn't have to be an entire mode. I'd love to see even just a permadeath dungeon with cool death traps and whatnot. Doesn't even have to offer any reward. But sure, achievements, or just a cosmetic deco item (t-shirt?). No need for phat loot, imho anyways, because some do it just for the thrill of it.

 

I love the risk factor part, the only down side I see to that is would you risk your main characters perma death and all your gear knowing what the grind is.

A alternate character would be the proper solution.

 

Yeah, we're slated to have alternate characters at the end of this year, but then that can dilutes the experience depending on how easy it is to reach that dungeon.

 

This wouldn't require a new "server" at all nor would anything special like that be needed. All they would need to do is set a flag on your char and only allow you to enter instances that match that flag. you could actually exist in the current world and have access to vendors and such but you would never run into someone not flagged like you as perma death.

 

While what you're suggesting is technically possible, I believe the economy would need to be different. Otherwise the perma-death crafters/traders have no chance...

Maybe perma-death goods can only be sold to perma-death characters? That could work.

 

what if it was the same universe, but there were more tiers to pvp flags, like t2 is full loot, t3 is stat loss, t4 is perma death, with some kind of correlated reward.

like maybe you could only attack people within your tier or an easier one?

edit2: or even maybe just zones with those various rulesets with bosses with phat lewt?

 

Perma Death would be outside the Mythos for the world... Avatars resurrect.

 

Also Richard speculated in a future episode he might consider some form of perma death option.
