In your opinion, why do you think we should have this? Why do you think we shouldnt have this? Do you think this is just a ploy to make you pay more money?

The clan regime of herne really likes them. They cant seem to stop having the icon on their top bar, it seems like they purposely kill themselves to be known as the clan who can use the most idols and have lowest hp.

Theyre also one of the only clans whom I've seen attempt dl bosses and having it reset on them because theres nobody alive to keep the agro

So yes, i personally like the death penalty, just to watch thousands of idols spammed to try to kill something and have it reset multiple times

Personally I think the death penalty/idol timer isnt long enough. It was introduced as an anti-zerg mechanism, and yet we still see clan after clan idol killing bosses, so in my view it didnt really work, just a minor annoyance and of course more plat item used means more profit.

one of the best additions to the game, but not good enough

i needs to really discourage death, and prevent people from idol kills

If you want to increase the dealth penalty that isn't a problem, but as a rogue over half of my stat points are dedicated to vitality and I still have ridiculously low health, causing me to die more frequently. Vitality needs to do more!

Well i mean if you were to have this implemented, wouldnt it make certain bosses less doable if there was more of a or different penalty as well?

no boss is meant to be idol killed, if thats how you kill the boss you arent really good enough

one or two idols over the course of a fight is not idol killing a boss, the only time i have ever had death penalty on either of those bosses was if it went enraged
both hru and mord could be done with no deaths at all it would just require more planning

Ahh i see what you mean. Dying occasionally compared to relying on the timer and spamming the ressurect button. Thanks for your opinion and clarification
