I have keepinventory enabled on my server and it's awesome. Games are supposed to be fun, and losing all of your items is not very fun

[–] Live_your_lives@lemmy.world 70 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's why I like to mod my games with a gravestone mod. Your items are safe but dying still costs you something.

It's funny when you die in the nether lava ocean and have to go on a sand excavation to get your stuff back.

I like the sound of that. I think valheim nails it for balance so if its anything like that. We're playing bedrock edition.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Valheim actually sucks with how they handle death - you lose a very significant portion of your skills each time. It isn't a problem when you have 10 in woodcutting and it goes to 8, but at 100 and it going to 98 is a very huge deal that takes hours to get back.

Can't you change those multipliers when you create the world? Haven't played it on very long time so maybe I am confusing it with rimworld and the likes.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I usually just burn a few ender pearls making teleporting keys until I die outside of the lava lake.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

I like the challenge. To me, games are more fun when sometimes they’re frustrating.

[–] Johanno 11 points 2 months ago

But losing is fun. Sometimes. I mean people play dark souls.

As I have already said:

I'm not Greg from gregtech lol. I just made the unfortunate mistake of not checking whether something with the name gregtech already exists when registering my domain name.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god it's greg from gregtech. I thought for sure you'd have keepinventory off.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I kind of figured but it's such a meme in the GT community that I couldn't help myself lol.

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To me this removes the threat of exploring completely and makes it not fun.
There is literally no danger to doing anything and it's boring.

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the person playing. I prefer keepinv and you don't

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I agree, that's why I said "To me" :)

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I use graveyard mods for it, gives me at least a chance but lowers challenge some
