Death will be Handled by Checkpoint System in Diablo-3

Looks like player character death will be handled by a Checkpoint System in Diablo 3. Below is Bashiok’s quote:

“We had a checkpoint system in the BlizzCon demo we showed, where you would die and pop back up at the last checkpoint you came across. Some of that was for the convenience of the demo, but we do like the checkpoint system and intend to carry that forward in the same or similar form. We’re not looking toward corpse retrieval currently.

Any death system we do have needs to allow players to get back into the action quickly, but not be so meaningless that you’re just flinging your corpse against a wall of monsters over and over until you finally get through.” – Bashiok

I personally think that this system is much better than corpse retreival. What do you guys think?

  1. Im going to have to disagree with this…..Im sorry but having a check point system would make this game far to easy i mean one of the best parts of D2 was that if you died it was somewhat of a challenge (and for me more pride) to break in steal my body rape everything and steal my gold back
