We all know this from watching the totalbiscuit video (though at that time it was a 1 hour timer).
The problem is that there is no attachment to the character.
1. I can spend time and give them a customized face and body. I can carefully come up with an awesome name. Do I start naming them XXXCloudXXX17, XXXCloudXXX18, BIG_RIG_BOB12?
2. Why would I want to revive a character if he loses all of his gear and experience doesn't mean anything.
These two extremes are the limbo this game is stuck in:
Either make it MMO, where gear, levels, name, repuatation, etc are all preserved on death.
Or make it survival. Once you die, create a new character instantly (DayZ).
There's skill trees, you keep those skills when you die. Is just (as half of the game) isn't implemented yet.
