The DP system should really be done away with. This is why...

7 pages of this crap and nobody has called you an unskilled care bear yet?

Allow me....you suck at this game and probably most other games since Ryzom is incredibly easy. Stop trying to change a game that you don't even play anymore, and go suck at something else.

Well with terms like 'unskilled care bear' and 'you suck at this game'. I'm guessing you've got to be no more than 16, so I'll go easy on you.

Sounds like you need more of a challenge if you find Ryzom incredibly easy. Might I suggest WoW after all your post would be a natural on their forums.

Well, you know why?
Because Razorfang is perfectly entitled to his own opinion.
Even if he´s not very responsive to others.

Ya smart idea, tell me to go play an easier game than the one I'm currently playing. I'm guessing you are no older than 16, so I'll go easy on you.

Learn to hit keys 1-0, learn to use a mouse, learn to use w,a,s,d. You should be all set, DP problem gone!

I'd just like to point out that the popular new game Aion has a harsher death penalty than Ryzom...

lock this stupid thread already. Best way to lose a DP is to use a skill which gives 6k xp with cats or even better overcraft and get more then 6k xp, you can lose 10 x max dp in less then 5 mins overcrafting.

Couple things.

Firstly, Razorfang, WoW does have a death penalty, resurrection sickness. You get majorly nerfed stats for 10 mins. Can't do much of anything other than sit around trying to figure out why you got deaded, not to mention the hit to the purse! Always felt sorry for the tank in all the raids I went to that wiped, their repair bills were crippling at the end of it.

Secondly, just bout every game I know of has some means of death penalty, and the idea is a good one, meant to make you sit and think why you got killed. Granted often times its stuff that are out of your control, forgotten the number of times I got aggro dragged on me cos of some idiotic vege, but often times it's cos of my own simple arrogance. Admittedly it's my own pride that makes me sit and revaluate the circumstances of my demise (guess I should not be watching 300 while digging in Nexus then... bummer), it's a good thing to have game mechanics enforce this but not overly so.

With the current method, it's done, but not in such a way that will cripple a character. Lots of different means of cleaning dp it's impossible for it to become a pain for very long, even with 10x dp. Now as for the calls for ressing being annoying, you really mean that? I personally find it a good thing that we got a community that one call for res would lead to several players downing tools to go hunt you down and save you from the dreaded skull.

Bottom line, it's a good thing to have, it's nothing more than a slap on the wrist, and just about every game out there has it in one form or another. It's removal is not going to bring people in, I think, and its removal may lead to some pretty reckless gaming.
