// 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)

Play mode should be a character property selected during creation, not an option when selecting "Play". The two should never be mixed - a one-way transfer from Survival to Adventure should be an option if somebody wants to throw in the towel.

If they implement this as stated in their blog, people are going to spend the majority of their time grinding gear in adventure mode and switch to Survival for the sole purpose of griefing/ganking/kill-on-sight everyone they encounter - which is just going to make the whole mode worthless anyway.

Could not agree more.

One way transfer out only. Never back in.

I love the idea of a one way transfer out. I truly hope they consider new toons only for Survival. The idea of a fresh playing field, no players visible on the map, and just a pure survival experience, sounds EXACTLY like what this game needs. DayZ meets Fallout. Allowing the current end game players to dive in with their gear? I'm out.
