Death used to mean a loss of durability and thus gold and time. It gave a real importance to repair consumables, playing smart and the indestructible affix. Now it’s just a small loss of time and so little copper (outside of the Crucible). Suicide can be the fastest way back to town in some cases th…

Nice idea. Add exhaustion from dying and bump up the repair costs after players get to Sacrament. Certain amount of deaths in a certain period of time = exhaustion. You need to leave your character in a bed for 30mins-1hour. Or pay 20 silver for instant replenish in the tavern. Just spitballing wi…

No way, that’d force the player to quit the game for 30min-1h if they’re low on money. I don’t think a fatigue&recovery system would be bad though. Whatever that’d look like. Sleeping currently gives a ‘rested’ buff (HP). For doing literally nothing I think that’s okay.

It’s true that I’m a bit disappointed, death doesn’t really have any noticeable impact. I don’t necessarily have the right solution, but some smart work needs to be done on it. Having to commit suicide to respawn quickly is not a solution, it should be if I have nothing to lose. In a Souls game, I …

30mins off is maybe a bit too much but i like the idea of using your home to rest or to cure wounds. And yeah, equipment durability should be a thing. Caring about your equipment also makes it more meaningful to u. Would love it to have more equipment “caring” tools for sharpening swords etc. I don…

I don’t think dying should weaken the character because that discourages retrying and improving. If I’m able to go toe to toe with the enemies in a region or a boss but die a couple times then I’d want to keep trying to become better. Punishing me for that would be pretty frustrating imo. Instead t…

I think the point here is that death in combat on its own is an exhaustment for the player. Double punishing that cannot be good. Maybe split between fall damage deaths/out of combat and in-combat deaths? Just loosing equipment durability if you die by fall damage, so dying during a normal fight d…

Sounds like wasted time coding the different death penalties and would be abused by players.

This is an interesting suggestion. And kinda reminds me of Anti Form from Kingdom Heart. In KH, if you went into Anti Form, you move faster, you have different moveset, higher attack damage (?), but a bit uncontrollable, also can’t use magic, skills, or items, leaving you more vulnerable. In NRFTW,…

I really like some of the ideas being put out there. I have some quick thoughts I wanted to share on durability: The durability systems are already in place and a lot of time has been spent on them. I wouldn’t expect Moon to easily just scrap it. Death shouldn’t be so punishing that it becomes…
