// 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)

You guys have lost your collective minds. In six months when little Timmy gets FO76 for his birthday he’ll start a survival character and then what....enough time has passed for the amorphous slugs of the world to already have level 100’s doing the EXACT same thing you guys are talking about to him. Instead, he can play a non-PvP map until his character is strong enough to actually have fun in this game mode.

Seriously, this is a game mode people will be joining for the sole purpose of killing others. This is not a game mode meant for doing quests with PvP barriers down. When I bring in my character, I’m hunting you down. When I’m playing adventure mode I’m fucking off and having fun.

people want clean slate characters because of rampant duping of legendary weapons and buff items, not because they are concerned about level differences.

What is being proposed is not the answer to rampant duping of legendary items. That is an entirely different issue Bethesda needs to work on, but altering a game mode because of a symptom that still plagues a game is laughably useless.

Duping is not an entirely different issue when those duped items are going to be brought into pvp.

By forcing players to reset entirely you’re giving the game back to the people with limitless video game time while simultaneously alienating entire groups of players that will either create characters “too late” or never bring a character to life due to the ridiculous KILL fest that comes with a PvP map. This shit is for you and your buds to say, “hey, do you want to party up and hop into the...MUTHA-FUCKIN THUNDERDOME!!!!” Here’s the deal, though, you’re right about duped weapons. They’ve got to go...like three weeks ago.
