Concussions - thoughts?

Postby CloudJhi » Tue Feb 23, 2016 10:26 am

title.

Personally I'm mixed.

On one hand, I'm really fucking salty over how debilitating it is.
Getting stuck with slow healing wounds that required poultices and bandages which cut down on stats was something I was fairly willing to suffer through, but having an absurdly slow healing wound(around 1/hr or so?) which cut down abilities is just making my toon entirely useless.

On the other hand, the punishment is quite a strong deterrent to picking dumb fights with animals, but as someone who has enjoyed punching them as opposed to trapping and shooting as a method of hunting, this is just making me sad.

I'm not sure I want it gone, but I sure as hell am sure I don't want to be stuck not playing at all.
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.

Healing time should be lowered by someway

This might work.
few snowballs and poultice crafted together -> Icy poultice which heals concussions rapidly.

I think they're fine, but they should heal at 2/hr instead of 1/h.
That, or change it so there's minor concussions and major concussions, getting knocked out will give you a minor concussion and then getting knocked out with a minor concussion turns it to a major one. A minor doesn't penalize stats and heals moderately fast while a major penalizes stats and heals slowly.

Got concussed yesterday and I'm already fully healed today. I don't have a problem with that and I'm always in favor of more wounds because they make the risks more meaningful.

They're fine - and I'm currently nursing a 60-pt concussion that is keeping me from doing things I need to do.

I got every point by choosing to take on something dangerous and screwing it up. That should carry significant consequences, or the thing wasn't dangerous to begin with..

Concussion is good mechanic to be honest. Previously there were only two extremes: either you were just knocked out, maybe with some wounds but usually just slap in the wrist or get permakilled, which would have been too harsh. However numbers on concussion (stat reduction ratio, time to heal) could be tweaked a bit.

I like it. Don't get knocked out. It's a middle ground between hardly any negatives and Murder boars I guess.

I'm not impressed with concussions at all. Stats become totally crap for hours so no real incentive to actually play anything, especially when boars seem to have become overly aggressive and I've been agro'd several times in the past couple days when I should be out of range and, as I am not a fighter, have been knocked out. This has really sucked all the fun out of the game for me.
