What is the death penalty for this game?

Only if we get an animation of the planet the player died on imploding on itself and then compressing the whole universe into one point before a big bang

 

I am definitely not going to be playing on drop all items, probably just pixels, this game has far too many dangers and if I lose all my gear, I am probably not going to be able to recover it at that point, because I will outclassed by every monster if I am in a high level area, not to mention taking time to get to the place I died.
That would force the player to start from a level 1 planet, or to have replacement gear in the spaceship.

 

the hardcore should be medium and the medium should be hardcore luuulz

 

MLG core - erase self existence? *jking*

 

In Terraria I never did mediumcore as I felt if I died in some cave and I didn't have the supplies to make a new sword or something, I wouldn't of been able to continue. I think if they add a medium core, they should make it so you drop random things upon death. Maybe a scale of 5-all of your items, or you could set it so you drop all of them. Maybe customizable difficulty options?

 

Yes. So much this. That way it gives me a reason to return to wherever I died without completely screwing me over.
Aw it's not a suggestion. That's why nothing was happening when I threw my upvotes at it :P

 

well if you are afraid of losing all of your items when you die perhaps you should be more careful hmm?

 

Some people play with kamikaze tactics. They just won't learn.

 

Please tell me that's sarcasm.

On Topic:
I agree that there should be a wide slew of Difficulty settings, to cater to many different audiences. I personally think that having to travel all the way back to where you were at is punishment enough. Screw losing my hard-earned pixels!

 

Why not a medisoft-core where you lose all items not in your hotbar (and maybe all/half of your pixels) that seems fair

 

I would like something like that. On death, you respawn at your ship. If you want your respawn point to change, you need to build a cloning pod and set it up somewhere else and then activate it so you respawn there instead.

Think of like the bed in Terraria, except the cloning pod seems more relevant to the theme of the game.

 

Some of us Gamers are too retarded to handle Ultra Hardcore Difficulties... Me for example, Minecraft kicked my ass & I can't defeat it...

Some of us try to the best of our ability to play well & are still helpless to avoid defeat... We don't all get to be Yrimir...

 

It's a shame since minecraft is ridiculously easy. I almost wish they had a setting higher than hard, (excluding mods).

 

Used to be even easier. Hardcore mode did not exist (so if you wanted that you had to do it manually) then you could bone meal up some bread or kill some pigs/cows cook the meat and have insta-health.

You might want to look up the April Fools 2.0 jar, Purple or Red I think (might be Blue instead of Red, don't recall), Which has "Super Hostile" mode, were every ~5 minutes you get hit by lightning and armored mobs, blazes, pigman, and wool headed zombies would spawn around you and murder you in the face. I was made by Mojang so it is technically not a mod. It is exempt from the "No sharing jars" rule BTW.

 

Hardcore death, character permanently reverted to softcore only gameplay and loses all hardcore weapons/armor from person and chests (but keeps materials).

 

I really hope to see hardcore/mediumcore as options, those are the most fun ways to play.

 

Softcore for me... I have a Mental Development Disorder irl, so I will never get to know what it's like to be an actual skilled player...

 

Look.. lets all just say it.. we want a difficulty namer like Duke Nukem and Doom, so when you want easy mode you can be honest with yourself. I know I was.

Easy: Baby bottle diaper pants mode (for busy moms and business men who game on the go)

Medium: 5 year old spaghetti face mode (for college kids who like to use cheats for everything on call of duty and counter strike and occasionally tell their friends how they whooped it up but never tell them they were doing it with cheats)

Normal: So you think you wanna be a real woman in heels mode? ( for people who want to try to be awesome but are too scared to really take the dive and still want to have fun playing the game without being depressed that they actually lost)

Hard: Hairy chest beard man with stilettos mode (for people that have too much time on their hands and like to throw in your face that they rock because they have no life outside of the game after they died over 9000 times to win and get all the secrets)

Hardcore: Blonde Boss from MGS3 mode with... a red dress and trendy purse mode ( for people that just like to torture themselves when they play video games because they have a warped idea of fun and have like one friend who.. is on steam that they don't really know IRL)
