So you will just spawn at like a graveyard at the beginning of that floor? Doesn't sound like much a difference to spawning in town and going through a WP. Except, what if monsters were already crowded around the checkpoint...would you spawn-die like 5 times and then it decides to bring you to the one before it? Or is the checkpoint under some sort of protection? Sounding kind of lame.
Also he says they want more seperation of town and 'out of town'. Does this imply no TPs and possibly less WPs? Or TPs have a long cooldown? Or...? Could be fun to not always have the choice to just TP out whenever you want.
How about use the checkpoint system but you're in spirit mode for 5 seconds and you can't hurt anything but they can hurt you, you lose gold, and it's recorded so you can flaunt to your friends that you haven't died.
I have a weird feeling that these checkpoints are actually "neutral" zones without any monsters in it, and that it is also the only places where you can use a tp. Ever noticed the lack of mob in most dungeon entrances in the previous Diablos? Sounds like an ideal place to put checkpoints.
Exactly what I was thinking:thumbsup:
I think this is what they will do... but since it is "neutral", say that you were low on health and newar a checkpoint and didn't want to die, if you ran into a check point with the monster just freeze like you walked into town in D2
And I don't think that waypoints will be in the checkpoints because if they were.. why would you use a portal.
I liked someone idea that went something like...their are monsters that randomly spawn in a game, anywhere (almost) that are the only monsters that can drop a certain item. That would make it so people had to explore and fight things other than just the bosses.
even though this is off topic I really like it. It's kind of like a rare spawn in WoW, but with a diablo twist.
