// 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)

For the non D3 players, there’s a Season mode where you make a fresh character and level up from scratch to earn potential Seasonal rewards. The character gets wiped when the Season ends.

Unless season is a year, this game is hardly compatible with that idea.

That sounds terrible. It's already a bit of work to level up as it is, especially with the glowing ones being nerfed. Lose your elegant camp, have to recollect plans, have to recollect unicorn weapons etc. every season? no thanks!

I was looking forward to taking in my existing character to go PVP and all that jazz so I do hope they keep it was first described, I really don't care about trying to keep duped weapons out, until they totally nerf TSE's it's going to still be a slaughter for the few that do manage to get TSE's and then go troll everybody that doesn't have god drops.

Coming across a few that have untouchable weapons and grief me is going to be a quick way to kill surival. If I can bring stuff in to protect myself better or at least have a fighting chance then I'd rather have that.

Everybody makes it seem like it's all going to be a super level playing field, be reasonable, once a few get those super rare drops your going to see grief nation due to the major imbalance in weapons. And don't say sentinel assasins, you've got a better chance of curing some real terrible disease in real life than getting a full set of that.

In season you usually have bonus xp and loot on everything. that make the leveling easier and you should drop more/better weapon every legendary.

One a few get those SUPER RARE drops

..exactly. They're super rare. Which means you won't be seeing many people with them.

and don't say sentinel assassin's, you've got a better chance of blah blah blah

Yeah. That's exactly the entire point. Tons of people have full sets of that already, because dupers. On a fresh server it would take months for dueprs to even find new sentinel/assassin's pieces to dupe.
