Dropping worn gear while corrupted

what is everyone's thoughts on this?

i personally love the idea of dropping materials that you have been gathering etc when dying, it creates a real risk/reward feeling and makes you never feel safe in the open world

however i feel dropping worn Armor/weapons is way to punishing, even if it is only whilst you are corrupted, been preaching this game to a lot of my mates and they are all keen to play, but this is the one mechanic we all feel is a bit to much?

curious on what you guys think!

Another question.
How do you expect to access your stored gear, which you typically have lots off, with your zombie alt?
Will you walk all the way to your honestead without being killed 100 times?
Will you dress up, and head up to a populated area you want to cause mayhem, without dying 100 times. And losing your gear?

I don't need to access stored gear while Corrupted.
I just need to have the gear that I want to drop on the character the first time it is Corrupted.
But, if I want to provide that alt with different gear, later... after the entire first set of gear drops... I can get friends to help bring the character different gear. That probably would not happen in a heavily populated area.
Losing gear would not be an issue. Zombies are supposed to lose gear.

Your unrealistic scenarios of "zombie red alt managing to kill people" wont happen.

This is a thread asking for corruption to be less punishing. Which should not happen.

Then you come around saying "Ill be able to kill people without fear of punishment".

Your unrealistic scenarios will give a wrong impression to the lots of people that are (wrongfully) already terrified of being killed without their concent.

Get a bit more in touch with the philosophy of the game.

Gear will take effort to craft. There wont be pk zombie alts. Leveling the character and skill libes will take effort.

Nobody, besides trolls that are just about to call it quits will go around randomly killing people.

Mostly I try to ignore your posts filling 4 pages, but that's because it's topics of "left handed character animations" or "rp tools".

But ye, when we talk about core elements of a good old fashioned open world mmo rpg, be more in touch.

There really isn't much to fear if it's already planned for your gameplay sessions.
Especially if the entire purpose of the character is to maximize punishment.
Corrupted alts don't have to wear gear at all.
Also, there is not much of a reason for players to be terrified of Zombies if the Zombies are easy to kill.

Also... I didn't say anything about randomly killing people. That is not a part of my Zombie alt concept. Other people might have that as part of their Corrupted character concept. But, you don't have to randomly kill characters in order to become Corrupt. You also don't have to grief people in order to become Corrupt.

For those playing the game at home...

Gear has approximately a 40-50% influence on a player's overall power in the game.[16]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_corruption

Player to player trading and the ability to store items in public warehouses is disabled for corrupt players.[18]

The only reason you'd be against this is if you wanted to freely kill people without consequences, if that isn't something you want, the mechanic shouldn't worry you.
