Re: [Audyssey] Suggestion for swamp
Personally, while i don't like losing everything, I do think its the best way. this is because whatever you loot is purely random and down to luck, rather than skill. therefore you're not really losing anything that you cant get back, as lower level chars have the same chance to get a rifle for example as do the highbies.
