An idea

I complain about it alot, but in the end, i dont really mind it, it wears off quicker when you fight, and doesnt have much of an impact on fighting if you stock up on a few tonics, to make up for the difference in HP. makes it more challenging to be penalized for basically being killed, so makes me try harder to stay alive even if it means standing in a corner till my health regain.

...or just go read the forums while sitting in jail..i do that sometimes.

POTCO has one of the tamest death penalties of any game I've played.

The harshest, had to have been in The Realm Online years ago.

When you died, you would DROP 25% of your inventory. Other players and even monsters could pick this up.

You would also lose 10% of your TOTAL exp gained so far across ALL level. It took 10,000 exp per level. At level 300, you would have 3,000,000 exp overall. 300000 exp. 30 levels.

I never died much in that game. hehe

I read in one interview with Potco dev he said that to get out of our groggy
state faster we should fight enemies. I've tried it with my friend when we
both in groggy. He waited while i fought enemies and my groggy disappeared
faster than him.

Man, I started out in MMORG's playing Everquest. If you died there, you return to your bind spot with NOTHING and you lost a good chunk of experience! You were naked basically. Your corpse with all your stuff that was on you was where you died. If you died in a bad spot, you were in huge trouble if you didn't have the right friends. If you failed to get to your corpse after a few days, the corpse rotted and all your stuff that was on it right with it.

Not saying this game should go to that extreme. But really that compared to momentary stat loss is nothing. I do like it I can explore regions without much fear. In Everquest, I didn't dare go anywhere "just to explore" if I didn't know exactly what I was getting into.

I found its better to just play as normal when groggy. Ease off the tougher creatures for a bit. The grogginess clears faster when you're doing something than just sitting there.
