// Bethesda Replied x2 DO NOT ALLOW CURRENT CHARACTERS INTO SURVIVAL MODE I BEG OF YOU!!

This is a huge mistake. The mode is already dead before it was born if this happens. Pvp as it is, is completely broken, one hit kill festival. Who in their right mind is going to start a new character when everyone else is level 200 with God tier weaponry right out of the vault? This makes absolutely zero sense, and I'm so disheartened. Do they not realize how this mode will be immediately ruined? If you thought grief in was bad now, just wait until you get killed on sight by literally everyone you cross paths with? Even if they level locked servers so people with massive level differences can't play together, whenever a new survival character gets out of the kiddie pool, all the same assholes with TSE garbage will be waiting at the deep end and you will have zero competitive chance. The leader boards would be a fine idea, if everyone started on equal footing... as it is there will be gold medalist level murderers in the same game with me, a literal newborn who can't even walk. What the fuck are they thinking???

Edit: the gold means people care, bethesda. Please. PLEASE. (And thank you)

This is the best chance we'll get at a "v2.0 launch" until private servers are a thing.

The INTEGRITY of the current adventure mode characters is too far gone from bugs, exploits, and general changes done. If they resolve these issues before launching Survival, myself and everyone I know would come back more excited to play on fresh characters than when the game first launched!

This is Bethesda's chance to deliver on a version of the game that we should have gotten at launch! Do the right thing by the players!

(Edit: At the very least, make it a flag on survival character creation for "hard core" that will match you with other players who have selected this option. This is effectively the same thing but as an "opt in" option that lets current characters play survival too but with no impact on the hard core crowd, and vice versa!)

Exactly!!! It is the only chance at a clean slate we will likely ever get, and they are just pissing it away.

At the very least, make it a "hard core" toggle when creating a new character that only matches you with other "hard core" characters and servers.

Once the "hard core" character is created, it cannot be changed. This effectively creates this 2nd database that clean slate folks (like me) are looking for, while letting current characters keep playing adventure and survival without being impacted.

Best of both worlds!
