    I have only repeated this a few times throughout this thread to date. So, here's one more time. I even added a note that I would allow someone to change their vote based on the clarification if they noted there vote as a change.

    But here we go again. Reading, of course, is not entirely optional

    No = Status Quo. Therefore, no death penalty other than what you currently have.
    Yes = Some sort of death penalty other than status quo.

    I now know why the nuns in catholic school used rulers to enforce their will, because some people no matter how many times you tell them something are just not paying attention.

    - MARK -

    Then I am forced to change my answer to Yes, because I want a change from the status quo, but not what I would define as a "penalty".

    Poll not going the way you like so you want to change how people voted?

    Actually its going exactly like I thought, almost everyone voted for some kind of death penalty, except a selected few that said they want no death penalty at all in their posts. So if I count right now its like a 95% pro DP, and like ~40% want an even harder DP.

    Scay, you should be in politics. Because that is nothing but spin!

    Of course it is. In your world, you know what is right and those who agree with you are right and those who disagree simply don’t understand the question and actually do.

    It seems to me that the larger % want a DP as long as its not too extreme.




    While tailing behind are those who want a extreme DP (like me,) and those who dont want one.




    Although it seems that some of the carebears and extreme gamers would be willing to accept a lesser increase in DP as a compromise..........including me as anthing is better than the crappy pointless way it is now.

    That would be fine. But that's still a death penalty since you lose the bonus when you die. ;)

    PVP Death Penalty: NO - Not in the present state of the game. Fix other issues first where a DP wont compound those presently existing issues. Matter of fact I am opposed PROBABLY to any form of PVP DP. Let peeps come and die as much as they want...me included. Make it more difficult to re-enter the battle so fast or so soon after dying or find some other way to stop the Death zerging.

    PVE Death Penalty: Iffy

    I wouldnt mind one but I dont think it's going to solve much. Rather Cryptic make some missions/Scenarios that cant be solo'd.
    But if I can solo everything, then a DP is no longer relevant and is useless other than to punish people who havent figured out how to solo certain missions YET.
    As my 2 fed toons are almost commander and one has died less than 6 times total and the other has died ONCE in that entire time, a dp would be a useless and meaningless gesture as it would only come to bear once in a very great while.

    YES

    Definitly yes for missions, and Fleet actions, it will end the zerg mentality. Grouping and tactics will improve!

    For PvP we might need something less, because the PvP maps are so small already.

    Just make it a permanent death and the dp would be very usefull. ;)

    No.. It is not. Perhaps you should consult the dictionary.. Bonus and Penalty mean different things. You had your own say and it was counted fairly.. Please do not derail the thread with your opinion on what people say.

    Just a note.. Strominrootsolver voted yes on 2 different pages (8 and 13)... Best to watch for such things. ;)

    Page 8:
    Pro DP.

    /10chars


    Page 13:
    Yes. I'm pro a reasonable death penalty.

    My preference:

    Restart of encounter or partial mission in case of dying, no respawn until all group members are dead in party action and restart from encounter / partial mission as well.

    Everything else being a motivational optional.

    ROTFL... you guys are so funny. So if you lose a bonus its not a penalty.... ok, I will write that one down. It's not like you get 1$ for every NO you can fake into the statistics, so why even bother? ;)

    No, If you want to make the game more of a challenge to stay alive, then give them rewards of some type to stay alive

    suit your definitions to your own wishes all you want.

    you probably say wow has a dp but don;t count STO's as a DP. because you are intellectually dishonest.

    Not like you get $100 for every YES you can try to pretend exists.. You also do not think this poll is credible.. So why do you bother?

    Again, you had your say and it was fairly counted. You even have your own special poll and thread. Please stop trying to derail this one.

    OK I figured it out the best DP that they can put into the game is upon death you are transported to the Starfleet Dental Bridge of Doom for 10 minutes, if you can escape you get a 300% health and dmg buff and a personal visit from Deanna Troy!
