Ahem
They absolutely built the depths around permadeath
ok so.
1: Not a game mechanic and false, if the atmosphere’s only redeeming quality is permadeath then its shit atmosphere lol
2: what about it? it’d work fine.
3: Isn’t that just the place where you farm waves of enemies?
4: yea you’re still in the depths with all the harder enemies, still a harder challenge.
5 + 6: If layer 2’s single gimmick and redeeming quality is permadeath, layer 2 is shit.
7: “MUH LOER!!!” will never ever ever ever be a reason to fuck up gameplay, see: AO.
8: Refer to 5+6 but replace layer 2 with layer 3.
9: Not too knowledgeable on castle light but I somehow doubt it given the rest of what you’ve said here.
hell no
Guys, I think I just accomplished something.
I saw a little coral thing pop out of the water, wasn’t there before, took a look, and there were some fat coral zombies! Took them out easily, good fun, and I tell you, I ate good. More loot than I’ve seen in my entire playthrough!
Ohp, I think I may have just died.
Oh yeah, for sure.
I did not say that, I said they are built AROUND permadeath
Do you actually understand the gimmicks I thought that was pretty clear
Yes, and it’s point is you are risking your slot in exchange for extremely high tier loot
That isn’t it’s only redeeming quality, where the fuck did I say that
Not much point in its existence if you can just reattempt it as much as you want
You could just run over to a hard mob, get a hit in, die, wait for someone else to kill it, and free loot+xp
Basically you HAVE to intentionally be in the depths, not having gotten there through dying. Removing permadeath breaks that
I thought the whole thing was that if you die then it’s done, why did I get to respawn? Is it taking pity on me?
dw too much about dying, you get a life back when you level up as long as you aren’t in the depths
no there’s 3 lives, 2 on the overworld and one in the depths
Oh, lovely.
I know about the wind, parasites, lights, the time weirdness, etc.
none of it stops working without permadeath.
When you said removing permadeath would ruin it.
I have watched my friends go through it several times and I’d call it anything but risky lol.
what gave you this idea lol.
plenty of other RPGs have mechanisms in place specifically against this.
oh, that actually requires some reworking then, I’ll admit I was wrong on that specifically.
Still though, you’ve been gaslit very badly on how important it actually is.
Okay, tell me, if I don’t know how to use this thing, why do I hold it by the sharp bit?
Are active pirate battles supposed to be hideously common? And am I justified to avoid them?
that’s an unequipped weapon, you can click on it to equip it unless you don’t meet the requirements
Oh, so I hold every weapon by the sharp bit even if I do understand it, wonderful.
Ok so Yknow how basically you have a 2 minute timer before your slot gets wiped after ethiron, the hells your plan to replace that Mr smart ass
I did not, I said it was built around permadeath
That’s with dedicated diluvian builds made specifically to trivialize it, go in there on a normal run of the mill build the average person makes and see if you can solo it
Because that’s how the xp system works in deepwoken
Ngl this sounds less like you actually having a good idea and more you wiped enough that you got mad at the game. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go remove armor sets from arcane odyssey because I personally think grinding them is annoying
You die and respawn outside of layer 2 lol.
duh???
also you’re going to personal insults now.
no you didn’t, why are you lying now?
Actually no, every time I’ve wiped in deepwoken was of my own volition, I just got sick and tired of worrying about wiping, stepped back, looked at the game mechanics, and thought “Why the fuck is permadeath even in this game? It doesn’t do shit???”
and this would actually harm the game.
Yes, good luck.
I recommend either being in a discord channel with deepwoken players or asking questions about the game on the forums.
Also, look up basic tutorial videos and treat the wiki like you’re playing Terraria.
There’s an annoyingly large learning curve compared to AO and it can be hard to get interested in it at first. However, it does get more fun over time, as long as toxic players stay away.
Also, gl getting Crysid, its required for you lol
Oh my god, why did you tell me to go to this center island? So far, I’ve died once, nearly died twice, found two dead ends of shores, and may still be getting chased by angry randomly generated shore-people.
Not to mention that I’m starving and parched.
Yknow, if permadeath is so inherently flawed,why the heck is deepwoken so universally praised and beloved by its playerbase? It seems like you just personally don’t like it, not that this is some sort of thing that objectively ruins the game
