Add something to recognize starvation

Postby Leksar » Sun Jan 17, 2016 11:36 am

Seriously, i was just doing my usual stuff, constantly distracted by my daughter (yes, I'm making excuses), and nothing was wrong and suddenly i just fall... already dead. No chances to save my char in few minutes, so as to know, that he is starving and gonna die right now. If you think that game has already some indications of starving, try to play on big monitors (24' 1920x1200 in my case).

gg almost 6m lp char, cryerrytime

Oh man, that's brutal! Rest in peace! What an awful way to die.

I have suggested stomach noises when you are hungry. Perhaps I will add something on my own client.

Some popup when you first enter less than 1k energy or take first starvation damage tip akin to the Lore Event windows could be reasonable.

The real question is, are you even going to try again?

Someone has to deal with cheese and it doesn't require any stats, so i'm going to continue.
Just a little ashamed because of such a stupid death and I don't want anyone else to die this way.

I added alert on Purus Pasta what gives you notification when your energy is low. It will be out very soon. After release ( today )

I have never been a fan of starving to death. Especially when everything you do drains so much stamina.

Can't we just faint from exhaustion when energy runs out/low? Since technically, your character isn't even hungry, as that is an entirely different mechanic.

I feel like the entire food, stamina, energy, hunger, satiations and FEPs system don't really compliment each other. It almost needs a rework from the ground up.

I wouldn't mind the old hunger bar back on main screen. :)
