Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I havn't been able to find an answer.
What is the death penalty going to be like in FF XIV?

Correction: just a weakened state on res.
You can either be rezzed, or return to the last aetheryte crystal you touched for free. You'll be saddled with a debuff that makes it tough to kill anything but weak mobs for about 3 mins. That's all.
That is incorrect. There is no exp loss on death in FFXIV.
Cool, I'm sort of glad they chose not to have EXP loss. But it kinda sucks cuz it used to be a pretty good deterent not to die. So now, I guess we'll see a lot more people dying.
I see alot of suicide runs in this game now. I dident like the Deleveling of the Old game. But the Harsh EXP hit was a good reason to fight as a team and win. Haveing everyone poping 2 hours to finnish the push and make the fight end was one of the best parts of the game To me.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

the death penalty is weak and utterly crap.
If i fail and die why shouldnt i be hit with the boom stick that tell me to get better?
im all for a xp loss on death makes the game more interesting and u sharpen up
We need dropable loot, but the WoW generation has pretty but nixed the idea of a real death penalty.
Because unlike WoW, monsters aren't organized in cute little subsets with obvious "recommended levels" for each battle. You never know when a monster is going to be obscenely powerful or relatively weak until you fight it, and punishing people simply for exploring is just unfair to the player.
Personally I think the entire concept of punishing people for dying in an MMO is completely pointless, as you lose enough having failed the mission or having to travel all the way back to where you got killed. I don't need my stats reduced to realize the need to "sharpen up". This archaic exp-penalty crap shouldn't have been included in FF XI and doesn't belong in any modern MMOs.
I would not say it pointless.
The thing I didn't like about FFXI DP was it took 10% of your XP if you returned to your Mog house... plus you could delevel. Even getting a rez the xp lost was too great.
I'd rather have a 3% SP(Class Skill Points, not XP) debt placed on me for returning and a 1% if I get a rez.. instead of a 3 minute annoying debuff.
As for the dude that said you should lose your some of your loot, that is a big no go for me... wouldn't play a game with that.
guess its not too funny now pulling to zones and watching people delvl....
