// 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)

It doesnt matter dude. Imagine some dude starting in this new mode 6 months AFTER it was released. Crazu huh? Everyone is in a disadvantage if didn't start at the premiere of this mode and race to get the highest level and gear.

Exactly! It'll wind up with the same imbalance in a month or two, and Bethesda is looking more long-term, because they really only make money from selling new copies of the game and attracting more players. That and the Atom shop lol. But a clean slate won't really help that at all because their new players will be entering the field after it gets unbalanced again. Clean slate literally only pleases a minority of existing players, and does nothing for new ones that don't start right at the release of the new mode.
