This will just be magic and magic only


How about fixing the game so people wont just splash to 99 magic and be mage prods.
A combat skill that takes 0 minutes of player input and 0 risk of getting killed whilst doing it because they never leave combat is obviously going to be way overpowered.

This is set up to be a failure through the same clearly flawed game mechanics that have been ignored for the longest time.

Yes it must be the splashing since i forgot how easy it was to get 10m worth of runes on a completely fresh economy as a level 1. Splashing is going to be such an issue in this mode...

I don't believe even a fraction of the supporters PK. They do not know how badly this will ruin PvP. I laugh when they argue: PvP will be challenging and immersive! You will have to PK in teams!?

Yeah, ever heard of Mage Bank? Where the real PK'ers are. Have you ever died and seen the text #Lemon? If so you know what I mean. There are teams with 1,000 to 0 KD and you're completely oblivious to them, but furthermore they would decline you so hard, because you don't have the skill, or gear to PK with them.

"Think about how it will be on day 1?!?" Okay, about 1K hyped up idiots training and getting sick of it after a week or 2. A couple months in only a handful of 300-500 players actually play on deadman. And for what? We harm PvP further so that a laughable minority "think they can PK?"

They can PK on the real servers. There won't be a longevity in this.

This mode looks like a lot of fun. But i doubt people will put their time into a new world, instead of just leveling or doing something on their main accounts. So, with this said, why dont you guys think like this: You can use a your real account, with all your stats, bank, items, everything, you could log your real account into the deadman server. So, after this, you could play the rules of the deadman mode.

Most likely you'd start with your account, but as soon as you logged, you have to take care of yourself.

Sorry for any bad english.

It seems like an interesting concept, but that's all, a concept. To incorporate this into the game would probably be a waste simply because not many people would play it. It sounds to be like a huge update meaning it would take time to produce, meaning other updates wouldn't be getting as much attention.

But as for the idea itself, yeah a 7 level drop would add for effort and hard work but to fall back that far at every death would be insane. What if someone isn't too great at pking and wants to try it out but can't get to a high enough level? Maybe a 7 level drop should be added after reaching a certain level in any particular skill?

Just a thought :P

Instead of making it a separate account make it a minigame. Once you enter the separate plane all your stats are set to one and you are unable to bring anything with you. Since it would be an entirely different landscape you would also have to explore your new environment and discover the most efficient methods of leveling up and acquiring items without getting yourself killed. Once you leave the separate plane your progress is saved and waiting for you when you return. Deadman mode could still have its own highscores for bragging rights. Still would be dead content in 6 months but it wouldn't require paying for a second membership.

Just an idea that came to mind I doubt it would be well received.

Oh because getting 30 manned at mage bank with the broken d spear spec is so much fun and makes you such experienced. /s
No one cares what your definition of "real pker" is. No one cares if you think you are a big shot. No one cares if you are predicting the end with no real evidence to support it apart from opinionated drivel.

That is actually quite a cool idea, but i feel it would miss part of what deadman mode is going for. Part of the appeal of deadman mode is the complete change in pace and way you play the game.

When I first heard about dead man mode on Twitch I was super excited and this was the one thing I was looking forward to. However, reading the whole stats dropped by 7 levels thing completely ruins it for me. I was looking forward to dead man mode, not stats dropped man mode. The whole idea that makes it so amazing is that you have to completely start over, that death actually means death. But this just isn't that, which is a huge letdown.
