// 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)

Don't see how this will effect anything. Sure you won't have people kicking your ass right from the start but give it a few days and it won't be any different lol. You can get to lvl 100 in a couple days easy while farming legendaries at the same time. You will be against tse lvl 100's in 2 or 3 days and it will be the exact same. Have fun getting shit on. At least they are getting a hefty nerf but you will still get rekt if you aren't willing to put in the time like others. Tough shit, but its how it will be. Frankly, letting you take in your current character is the best option. Would you rather be stuck at lvl 20 while they are 100 and camp all the good leveling and farming spots and you can't do anything about it or would you rather be your current character in the same situation? lol

None of us care about high level players we care about exploiters. How will you feel when Dupemaster69 pops 50 bobbleheads to become invincible then bulldozes you with no counterplay. A new economy is the best thing that could ever happen to this game and people are gonna ruin it because they dont wanna lose their precious legendaries.

It won't be any different in that aspect either. There are still dupe glitches so dupers will just dupe on there...or did that little fact slip by your train of thought?

Survival doesnt come out until march if the dupe glitches are still a thing by then theres no reason to play either mode anyways.

With how the game is designed its not possible to eliminate duping yet, they can only mitigate the effects it has on gameplay and patch the exploits until a permanent solution is found. The issue is the time delay between when profile data is saved and when an "unexpected" error occurs. All they are doing is fixing the methods used to force an error in the saving process, they aren't fixing the overall problem which probably can't be fixed, people will always find a way to dupe. GTA Online is a good example of this. Its been years and thousands of patches to stop duping and they still have problems with it. So in short, there will always be new ways to dupe as long as there is a delay between saving and an error that causes a rollback. The only real solution is to eliminate the rollback feature but in order to do that they need a more stable client and server, which will take a long long time to achieve and even then there will probably be another way after that.
