Survivors start with more severe Injuries

Post by Atpot » 03 Aug 2015, 14:16

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Spawned as a survivor and my wounded arm was healed up in a matter of two minutes.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Immersion and RP

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
It would urge survivors to find supplies and treat their wounds. Therefore provoking movement from survivors.

I'm going to go ahead and say I don't like this right off the bat. I know you want to make survivors move around, but this is the opposite way to go about it. If survivors are injured they're much, much more likely to hide or wait around especially if the injury is one of their legs. -1

Uhm, no. Not even a chance. Some people even want the opposite, getting injured is really annoying. Since being a survivor is already hard.
Sorry but -1

>immersion and RP

Because there's so much RP in being a corpse and its so immersing to die five minutes in! -1

missing a limb could be fair rp but would suck in survivor perspective -1

The whole point of being a survivor is that you survived the colossal bullshit that just hit your colony. Missing a limb or having a mortal wound is a tad counterproductive to the whole surviving thing. Not to mention, it's already hard as hell being one if you get a shit spawn.

Well in theory as the survivor has already survived they should probably start with some makeshift weapons as well e.g. a spear or kitchen knife.

In regards of the severe injuries.. that's a no most survivors would bleed out or get nabbed by a stray runner before they could even patch themselves up.

Sorry, I'm opposed to this as well for mostly what Wooki said...

Although, a lot of players did complain why they were injured, why they were naked, etc. on original code (N.S.S. Nostromo).

On the original code there were MANY situations where the starting damage was in a very needed area/too high of brute, SO they would effectively bleed out before they could be rescued because they could not acquire medical gear.

Fair enough I see the point everyone is making.

If that's the case than starting damage on survivors should be removed entirely if possible for there is no point to it.
