Thread: Bring back perma-death

sir, you are a fool. i dont like you and your ideas are silly.

Well here is the problem with perma-death. How do you quantify losing an account you pay for? In the past Jedi was your free slot, and perma death erased that slot (that you didn't pay for). Now the current system, itis your current player is the Jedi. NO WAY I am going to pay for an account that was deleted because MCM is way to overpowered and/or abilities don't match thier HAM cost. Not smart to delete a character someone pays for, just not good biz.
Well , they way it was intended..was for a VERY small % of the population top be Jedi.
Those few, rare jedi would be able to take on crowds of people (up to 20) and live to talk.
The perma-death system, was modeled after Diablo's "HardCore" mode.
Meaning you play as a God , but if you die thats it its over, start over from scratch.
Those of us who persued Jedi from the get go , knew these facts, and pursued anyways.
We didnt mind permadeath due to the intensity of that risk, and the rarity associated with having a Jedi.
Obviously, that intended styler never panned out..
For one, the Jedi was never capable of taking on the 20 characters, so Permadeath was abundent, and too easily obtained.
Secondly, after the holocron debaclement, and the Village, the games majority customer base flowed towrd jedi owned accounts..
The Ways of the Old Jedi...the ways of perma-death. and rarity, are long gone..

..YA !!! And Sony should send guys to your house to shoot you if your Jedi or BH dies..That would solve even more problems !!
Get over the idea of trying to make Jedi rare...There is 100000 Jedi and even more BH (since most jedi have a bh alt)...Not exactly inline with SW timeline...but it is far too late to do anything about it. If you try, enough people will quit that you will have to shut down the game.
Once again, the only thing needed is saber TEF and skill loss.

Whenever it is you can guarantee that there will be no server crashes, client crashes, knockdown bugs, healing bugs, nasty lag in big cities, or anything else that would cause you to die that you have no control over, then and only then, can we discuss bringing back perma-death.
Until then you can take your Jedi hating self right on out of the Jedi forums.. thank you very much.
i couldnt have said it any better myself
