Learn to play your character and fight better and you will die less.

I know, such a simple idea. Go figure.

Disagree. Unlike some who will randomly bash you , I will give you reasoning.

1) The only death penalty in the game is repair costs at time. At lower levels, repair costs are minimal. At higher levels, they are punishing. If you are dying multiple times, you don't need to be in the area, and eventually by upping the limit they force you out and make you rethink what you are doing.

2) This isn't a Bioware fanboy thing -- I , personally, think the first death should be the only one you are allowed to respawn in place for. Wiping is either due to incompetant pulling, being in an area to high for you, or screwing up and making a silly mistake. The last of these should be rare.

3) Did you know if you wait out the 10 minutes, it goes to 30?

no it isn't... I've died 3 times on a boss and my med-probe cooldown was still under 2 minutes

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

most I have died was 5 times on a boss that was 4 lvls higher than me... my medprobe timer was somewhere around 5 minutes so I said fk it and went to the medcenter and came back when I was a higher lvl

Don't die so much? you act like this is the first game to make you wait when you suck on such a large scale

You mean the same level (or lower) area's that have a 5 pack of strong NPCs every 20 meters and respawns about a minute after you finish off the pack?

Maybe it tells you that the game developers didn't playtest their own game nor did they listen to comments about how ridiculous the amount of mobs there are in an area.

as said elsewhere, you die 4 times and you're at 9 minute.

Wow, people are actually complaining about the amazingly easy-mode medical probe?

OK...remove it entirely, then. Let's have the regular 'die, go to rez point' like every other game has.



Good grief, give someone a winning lottery ticket and they'll say they didn't win enough.

I miss DAOC. If you died, you lost XP. Talk about fear of dying!


Wasn't EQ like this also? (only 10x worse?)
