death/decays

[AestheticDeath]

OK so I died without a deed, and once I was raised, it showed up on my exp that I had decayed rather than having a recent death.

Is this normal?

And do decays ever reset after cap? Like after a month or so much exp or something?

[Soulpieced]

No decays don't reset. That's how they are recorded if you die with no deeds.

the website seems to show that they got rid of perma-death, is that actually the case? What are the mechanics now for death, is there any permanent loss to the character or is it all temporary debuffs such?

[Caede]

They did, in fact, get rid of permadeath. The new mechanic is called 'Death's Sting' -- Nilandia's site has a good recap from the official announcement.

The upshot is that now, if you die without deeds, you just suffer a much more severe Death's Sting penalty.
