Reaction/Discussion The New Sp System Might Not Be As Bad As You Think!

Well, a lot of people hate this. I did too, until I got chosen for the beta! I played it, and it didn't seem that bad for me. Until you get to 4/5 SP's, you lose bad things (such as junks). It affects lvl 1-20's really much, but it's not really important. The items drop more (in my perspective) and when i lost things (such as powders), i regained them quickly. I want to discuss this system with people if you like it or not.

Edit: for people who wonder about 2 or less soul points; you don't lose every item, you just lose more weps/armour/powders.

 

so far all the times i have died i have only lost rotten flesh .... the worst thing i have lost is 3 health potions

 

you lose dungeon keys and the rewards quickly though

 

So far the worst thing I've lost in the beta is 3 emeralds. This new SP system really isn't as bad as everyone seems to think it is..

 

I just don't like the fact that you drop items or even have a chance to

 

lost my bow at like 5 points or something

 

death is nothing till 4 or 5 sp

the item drop rate i think is increased so you can get items quicklier

yes, that sometimes happen. i lost much keys when i died today. (at least the key guardians arent that hard to kill)

 

I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but I think that the new sp system could be a good change. A lot of people will probably disaggree wth me but.. there needs to be atleast some death penalty. In the current soul point system there is pretty much no death penalty, you would almost never loose items since soul points usually get regenerated faster than lost, also, loosing all items on death can be confusing to newer players that haven't noticed soul points yet.
With the new system you have chances to loose items on any death, but most of the time you shouldn't loose anything important. Now people will be more careful and try to survive instead of dieing and just being teleported back to town. + now some people may even take the risk to play the game at 2 soul points since you only have a small chance to loose anything important. A lot of people complain that this will cause less play time but I think that people will be able to play for longer periods of time now since the risk of loosing items is a lot smaller.

I am aware that getting stuck in a block could be bad with the new system, since using /kill has a chance of loosing items but.. Most of the time you would only loose a few emeralds and maybe a few pieces of rotten flesh, I'm pretty sure that you could get those back in no time. Also, getting stuck in blocks and not being able to get out is a bit uncommon, yeah, it happens sometimes, but it's usually pretty rare to occur + getting stuck and having really low soul points will probably be even rarer.

P.S. - You can keep some of your more expensive items in your bank and have some items that you don't use in your inventory (for example an identified weapon) this will make it so you have a smaller chance of loosing your main weapon/armour.

 

I remember you freaking out about losing your flesh xD it was amusing for me and ganny im sorry px lol


Anyways, I've died alot and lost stuff like my Detlas and ragni scroll, some flesh, emeralds, and potions. I'm just worried once im on my higher lvl class that ill forget about the sp and then die and poof goes something I was holding onto.

 

yes, i lost scrolls too, but when you get used to walking + charge/escape/tp it seems no problem with scrools (at least i think like that)

 

Well, for all you people saying you lost stuff more than rotten flesh and a few emeralds, well.. that just means you gotta get better and not die <3

No seriously though, I've never lost anything more valuable than 4 emeralds and rotten flesh.

 

'get better and not die'
every death was cos lag

 

what if you grind rotten flesh for ToL?

 

you're right.

You'll be 68, why naut go to Ragni from the passage and kill a lot of Emerald Trail zombs?

 

ToL was revamped.

 

quicklier
10/10

but if you drop a mythic or legend ur fucked

add em to the NO BONE ZONE list with horses pls daddy salted

 

that was the reason why i was keeping it.. i should have had an stack by now ;-;

 

Waiting for the day for someone to lose a mythic at 5sp

 

I lost half the stuff in my inventory at level 10 when I died with 7sp.
Tell me again that this is a good system to keep.
