    I also agree with some of the others in disagreeing with a bank of sorts. i find that it would be more so breaking in the sense of a lack of penalty. but i do think that prices should be reduced a bit more or pixels easier to obtain it bulk amounts.

    Ohh yeah, a 3 minute walk. What a penalty!

    Dunno,as frustrating as it is sometimes,I actually like being tight on money.If we could desposit it,it'd end up being an unlimited source of money in no time just like in any other game.
    This way however,the amount you have changes real quick,you can have 2000 gold and 900 before you realize it,forcing you to stop mining and go killing mobs.
    Nice change of pace I think.

    Did not read all the posts but imho it's okay as it is.
    In a first impact i looked up for a place where storage pixels because on the first planet you gain like 10-25 pixels per mob or even nothing.
    But when you land on 30+ planets the gain is from 10 to 180-200 pixel each mob.
    You can farm them easily, the hard part is to gain pixels for the right weapon.

    Ps. You can "deposit" pixels in the Refinery.

    This seems like the best idea out of all, so far.

    Tiy have stated on reddit yesterday that a banking system will be implemented with a 40% loss in pixels for depositing. at the same time the percentage lost on death will go back to 30% as it was before. I still dont think its fair since you will basicly be puniched for staying alive as you loose more the longer you have stayed alive. I think there should be a Cap on how much you can loose.cap it at 3000 pixels or something. this way you wouldnt need a banking system at all

    "Unless you want to play the game as it was intended" would have been a better end to that sentence.

    If you play the game as intended then you would roll in the Pixels like me, I've 13K pixels I dont know what I have to do with. I didn't even farm them, all I did was exploring my home planet for interesting structures, digged myself to the core and defeated the first boss.

    Total time spent: 3 hours.

    All this complaining about the death penalty being lessened is silly. Especially considering how easy it is to die in the first place. I support pixel storage, maybe add another button to the console where the 3D printer is?

    This sounds completely logical to me.

    Sounds a balanced idea <3

    I can understand a limited pixel storage in which is embedded onto your ship where you can only deposit a small amount of say like 2000 or 3000 pixels. Other than that I would rather not have it as it just will make people not care much when they die since they really did not lose anything except how far or short they may have to travel back to get back to where they were.

    I was referring to the suggestion of relogging every time you run into anything capable of killing you

    Let us see how the new banking system works first. Personally I think what Snazzed said would be the easyest and best solution. btw there is a link on this new bank system on the homepage;)

    how the new banking system is , you deposit 1k - 2k - 3k etc and it gets compressed into a pack or something like that , and then when you want to withdraw that , it will take 30-40% i think thats what it said , so you compress 1k and when you withdraw that 1k you will only get 600

    Do it like Terraria:

    Softcore: Lose nothing items on death.

    Mediumcore 1: Lose all your inventory apart from your 10 tool slots and your armour.

    Mediumcore 2: Lose your entire inventory, armour and tools.

    Hardcore: Your cloning machine is broken. Death is permanent.

    But in addition to choosing which mode, have sliders that you can adjust to set what percentage of pixels you lose upon death, and when banking. (So basically, let the user choose how they want to play).

    Also, possibly add a 10s invincibility period when teleporting from the ship - I had a miniboss spawn right where my teleport drops me, and it killed me a few times before I killed it, so I lost a lot of pixels unfairly.

  18. Ha, terraria is easy, this game isn't, you answered your question.

    Horrid idea in my opinion. No penalty for death is stupid. Death needs to have a penalty, heck,they should be adding hardcore mode to the game as-well.
     
  19. If they do this, they should make the default money you lose quite high. (the scroll bar) So only people who actually want a super easy game change it.

    only to die again as soon as you get there. now its a 6 minute walk, only to die again on the way there... etc etc... now not only do you not have any pixels but you've spent several hours trying to progress past that 3 minute walk. Esp in the current version where birds are over powered.
