Abyss is death sentence for lowbies
I would like to discuss the being cast to the abyss with lower level chars.
I lost countless characters from being cast to the abyss. It sucks!
And not in a fun way. We all know it : You level a char, often this is a very hard process and maybe
you find some great gear. All is going well until...BAM you are being cast into the abyss with a totally
unprepared char...sucks.
It is a death sentence for most chars as long as you are not lucky enough to find an exit soon.
(and even if, a blizzard demon may finish you standing right on it).
What am I getting at?
Well, a competition in a good game is a situation or enemy wich you can overcome by using your brain.
And this situation I just described is never a situation that can be handled - its a death sentence. Period!
(very small chances you can get out of that situation depending on mere luck).
You can try some things, like using your 1 or 2 teleportations, quaffing a heal (wich rarely helps here...)
and thats it. You are done for...again.
I would suggest a change for that.
Like being cast into Abyss can only happen from a certain level or changing the mobs lurking the Abyss
to way smaller demon types like imps. That would be at least doable for a low level char.
Also, there should be more exits on the first floor of the Abyss.
The way it is designed right now is plain unfair and no competition in any way.
Seriously, the devs claim be build a "no-brainer" game. This kind of situation are indeed no-brainers.
Being cast into the Abyss with such unprepared char ends the game in most situations.
You could as well quit the game and start over.
If the char dies because of my own stupidity (wich happens a lot ;-D) I can happily accept that and try
to get better.
If the char dies because of design faults in the game it sucks. Theres nothing you can do about it.
I really like to see this changed.
Thanks and happy discussion and crawling!
Bye,
