Q & A that wasn't answered in BlizzCon(1)Category: GeneralNovember-12-2013 11:12 PM PST (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Now that BlizzCon has been and some new stuff has been revieled, questions has been asked, but there are still some questions out there that hasn't been answered.
What question would you like to be answered?

I would like to know if there is anything being done to increase motivation for staying alive in SC. I don't play so much that I feel like I have time to re-role a character from start as in HC. But I would still like to feel that I lost.

Before inferno nerf there was a heavy gold fee. But I would like something like:
You lose a fixed amount of experiance of your paragon levels (Like half of the first paragon level). Or, you won't be able to lose a level but you lose all experiance earned on that level.
Or, when you die you will not be able to get loot from the enemys you that hit before you died. And if your party kills something and you are dead, you will not get loot meanwhile. (Perhaps a debuff for 5 minutes that prevents loot from being droped).

...or a combination ^^

This was actually a topic that was briefly talked about during the Diablo III Q&A panel at Blizzcon, although there was not much information that could be shared on the topic. Basically we prefer to give people a bonus for surviving rather than punishing people for dying, and as such we think the death penalty we have currently works well enough.

Nephalem Valor for an example can be seen as a kind of a "survival bonus", and the developers like to discuss ideas for buffs kind of like that when looking into potential ways for motivating people to stay alive.
