An axe accident and saw mishap

[VDZ]

haha, you got a wound with -10 all stats, whatchu gonna do

multiple wounds*

In all honesty how would this make the game more fun?

It wouldn't. As stated earlier, OP is just pure trolling and people have been making use of this to vent their frustration at how bullshit wounds can be sometimes.

According to general game design principles, you don't punish players for no reason; you either somewhat reliably punish them for failing challenges, or you (semi-)randomly punish them for taking excessive risks, both of which challenge the player. Punishment for no reason just leads to the player feeling bad and generally makes the game less enjoyable. Of course, it must be considered that Haven doesn't always strictly adhere to standard game design principles (and its atypical design has led to very interesting and unique gameplay), but I quite doubt the devs add wounds to the game just to make people miserable. For each wound in the game there is some viable explanation as to what purpose they serve (be it simple punishment for failure (concussion), punishment for taking risks (bee stings), a drawback to balance a benefit (crab caressed) or just increased immersion (with that I mean unexpected but logical things happening; such as the much hated allergic reaction)) even if they're not all balanced equally well.

Purely random axe accidents would add absolutely nothing, and while theoretically something like this could be used to incentivize progression (higher q axes/better carpentry skill/etc = less accidents) I certainly hope the devs realize that the extra frustration generated from that would greatly outweigh the sense of progression achieved from that.

as someone who chops wood every winter its really hard to accidetly hit your own leg with the axe. or saw your fingers with a hand axe.

however it is easy to pull a muscle in your shoulder maybe a wound called something sore would be a better fit with a - agi debuff. heals after a ingame week or use an icepack.

Make it so you can accidentally chop off your arms and legs and then you have to crawl on the ground and carry tools with your mouth.

I have nothing much to add but my signature. I think Shubla is one of that kind that should not express ideas about HnH for the sake of everyone else.

IRL it depends on safety precaution and own caution, not on the case with chances. It's not like random chance.

[MagicManICT]

It does not have to be permanent.
Maybe not chop your leg or fingers completely off.
But it will be a big wound!

Oh, I'm totally ok with it. We're an alt nation, anyway, right?

I don't think it works quite like that.

Why make your character stupid? Why should he constantly walk crippled, beaten, stung, crushed, bitten, scratched? Is this game a losers simulator?
  So many questions, so few answers.
But I do not understand the players who offer such topics, you are either ordinary trolls who believe that their jokes will amuse the developers and bring the adequate players to the next moral swoon, or just people who have a very boring life

I honestly don't understand why does EVERY FUCKING activity has to have a wound associated with it. Is it really that enjoyable to lose health from literally everything you do in the game? This is not me whining about wounds being in the game, this is me not understanding how does it make the game more engaging. People don't like negative reinforcement, it doesn't fill people with joy to lose hp from everything.

This is also a generic rant on the game design failure with the wounds system in general.

[MadNomad]

they should add a chance of heart attack, especially if the character is old and/or has low con stat (maybe the con stat shoud go down over time? )

hitting your leg with an axe should make u disabled forever so you cannot run and get more than 20 agility! (and if you used a b12 or woodsmans axe it should make you bleed out in less than 1 minute)

these are very nice ideas, right?
