    they're mostly a bad edition too the game right now and here's what they bring too the game and what they take away from the game
    the biggest advantage of soul points right now when it comes too design is that they provide an exit point too the player which is very much an invaluable thing too have for something like wynncraft where it can just be time too stop playing for a while
    now for the bad and unfortunately this outways the good right now. you lose them all you lose all the gear you had on you if this happens too a level 30 they may be like whatever if this happens too a level 76 you just lost a player a majority of players will never touch wynncraft again after that and "oh yeah just dont play with that few soul points" well yeah duh I think we all know that and do that but theres still gonna be the one person that gets hit with a bug or a mob walks into the town as they're afking for soul points and that players done with wynncraft at that point yes you will have dedicated enough players that just suck it up but generally you just lost that player
    now say if losing all your soul points gave you a .9 experience multiplier wynncraft is enough of a grind you dont need a .9 experience multiplier and then you still have a nice exit point for the player with out the risk of straight up losing a player and i men thats just an example of an alteration too the system
    and if there is some reason the dev have for keeping them in their current state I am very interested in knowing it cause there could be some value they bring that I'm just not seeing

    Soul points are in the game so that you can't just have no care whether you die or not. Besides, if you worry about soul points taking too long to regen, get some of those good soul point regen gear!

    This honestly boils down to the fact that soul points are your "ease at life meter". You want to teleport to this city? Costs a point. Wanna not lose all your stuff when you die? Costs two. Also, I couldnt read most of you wrote because apparently punctuation isnt taught in schools any more.

    Yes, you hate waiting, are impacient and don't like the current soul point system. Also, if you log off for several hours you will gain soul points. I see this as a thread more about your hatred for soul points. Please dont complain about a perfect system.

    1. Walls of text are hard to read properly.
    2. You haven't exactly typed it in an understandable way. To me, it looks like you are saying that soul points aren't good because you lose your stuff, which is the whole point of soul points: they stop people from dying endless times because they can.

    Soul points are a very good addition to the game, they make sure that the the player doesn't just /kill to get back to the nearest town. Also when a level 75 is low on soul points he isn't going into dangerous situations or anything with a lot of gear. And I don't know where you got that from but Wynncraft isn't going to lose players because of soul points... I mean if Wynncraft is going to lose players because of this, those players were probably noobs that didn't know anything about the game. Also your lack of proper English makes your post extremely hard to understand.

    Like the other thread about making it not bannable to spoil relic locations. Which I'm against for pretty much the same reason (getting rid of the punishment means it will be abused) as the arguments I can find in this thread.

    God dammit it dude. Learn some basic punctuation. And honestly i think the Sp system is what makes Wynn unique; it stops people just dying on purpose etc. Not giving a damn about damage. Your argument is weak and horribly put together, it makes no sense in places. Your making it sound like soul points have not been in the server very long and are buggy or something. They work fine.
    [] - Corrected Punctuation

    See me after class.

    Removing the penalty for losing all of your soul points would make them useless, people would still die carefree. You actually get a warning when you're low on soul points so if a noob doesn't read it, that's their fault.

    I would like too clarify I'm not saying get rid of the penalty for losing soul point I'm saying that it has potential too ruin wynncraft for a high level player that loses them all too a bug or a while afk or some such right now while from a game design perspective soul points provide a very important system in that they provide your player base an exit point after dying too much what I'm saying is that its too punishing for when fringe scenarios happen too your strongest players who know not too go out on low soul points but end up losing them all for reasons different too you where an idiot and left with out at least 3

    If a high level player looses all their soul points, and then quits, then it was their fault and their choice. Adding an experience multiplier wouldn't change that, and it would be adding something that could be easily abused. Also, you don't have to AFK in a town anymore, you gain SP offline now, though at a slower rate.

    If you lost your items to a bug, report it. They can just fix soul points. Also, did you just call a mod an idiot?
