'''Death''' and '''death penalties''' comes to us all, especially in games is a balance in terms Diablo III. The exact mechanism of design. [[Diablo II]] had you loose all your carried moneydeath, and all your gear stayed on the corpse. You lost a percentage of experiencerecovery, death penalties, and could in fact even loose a level. If the corpse was other related features have not retrievedyet been finalized, and likely will not be until the items were lostgame is nearing release. Then againWe do, at least, death penalties in odler games are usually quite much more harsh than modern equivalencehave some information on those issues.
==Special Death Animationsand Difficulty==Besides The D3 Team has talked about balancing the game more evenly than was Diablo II. The design goal with D3 is to make the normal death animations game more consistently challenging, rather than very easy most of charactersthe time, there are plans to involve additionalwith spikes of super hard boss monsters, Iron Maiden curses, random death animations for bossesCursed Stygian Dolls, etc. To that shows a bit end, [[potions|potion]] use will be greatly curtailed, regular healing will come from [[health globes]], and more spectacular events [http://www.diii.net/n/681638/bashiokmonsters will be difficult, but not overpowered-quick-answers]impossible.
<blockquote>'''''Will there be more boss-specific fatalities like the Barbarian head bite by Seigebreaker?'''''<br>
''That's what we would like to do. We'd like it that when a player dies to a boss we may have a special/random event or death animation specific to that boss. So if you're going to die or have died to a boss, there's a random chance that you'll see something other than a normal death. That's the dream any way.''</blockquote>
==Death Penalties==
The "Death Penalty" is the term used to describe the negative consequences imparted to the player when they are killed by monsters or other players. It's not known how severe the penalty will be in Diablo III, though the D3 Team has said they will keep it from being too harsh. Here's [[Jay Wilson]] on that subject, in an interview from August 2008[http://www.diii.net/n/687801/jay-wilson-from-leipzig-5].
==Death Penalty in Diablo III=='Death Penalty' is ::"We have not actually decided on the phrase used final death mechanic. I can guarantee that you will not lose experience. We are not urging to describe what negative consequences come from dying in big penalties for death. But we want enough of a game. In old arcade gamespenalty to be there, you had one lifeso that death has meaning! Like to lose a little bit time, and then you'd some kind of detriment... We do not currently have a durability loss (to start overequipment), but some kind of ... This has evolved over a gold cost is actually not so bad. And having the yearsplayer to waste some time, and the death penalty that is generally a lot more lenient todaycertainly an element. This is what Generally we know about kind of rely on the Death Penalty in Diablo III:* A player character will effect that players do not loose experiencewant to die.* Players will You know, you just do not loose [[durability]]* Gold loss want to. So there is probableno real reason to add a further "ding" to them for something happening that was already unfavorable to them.* Time lossBut we have not got our final mechanics on that, such as running to corpseyet.
This is the penalty for death in standard, "softcore" character mode. If there is a Hardcore mode, it will come with permanent death, as was the case in Diablo II.
The following was said by [[Jay Wilson]] on death in Diablo III [http://www.diii.net/n/687801/jay-wilson-from-leipzig-5]:
<blockquote>'''When ==Special Death Animations==Besides the normal death animations, there are plans to include semi-random death animations that are keyed to special bosses, such as the amazing decapitation death [[Seigebreaker]] inflicted upon one of the Barbarians in the WWI Gameplay movie. D3 Community Manager [[Bashiok]] answered a character dies, will it lose gold and experience like question about this http://www.diii.net/n/681638/bashiok-quick-answers in Diablo 2?'''a forum post].

==Hardcore Mode==
The inclusion of a [[Hardcore]] character option is not yet confirmed, but the D3 Team has said they don't see any reason not to include it. Hardcore characters are exactly the same as regular characters, except that they are mortal. When they die, they stay dead. Forever. No restarting in town; no restarting anywhere. Dead hardcore characters were able to log back onto the Battle.net chat channels in D2, but they could not join of create games. It's not known how that feature might be handled in D3, if there's a more interactive chat room experience.
From the [[WWI_2008:_D3_Design_Fundamentals_Panel|Diablo 3 Design Fundamentals panel]], at the 2008 WWI event:
:'''Q: Will there be Hardcore mode?'''<br>
:'''A: '''We haven't decided yet, but I don't see why we wouldn't. It’s not a decision we need to make yet. We probably will, though.
