Replace Blackouts with a pre-burst seizure

Post by Evilkyle24 » 17 Jul 2015, 16:15

CM Version (alpha or Regular):
Both
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Blackouts make no sense lore wise and are immensely frustrating in game. Replacing them with a seizure ten seconds before bursting would be both lore friendly and player friendly.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Escape attempts are no longer rendered moot by instantly passing out for two minutes.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Instead of rapidly blacking out over and over again once you reach the late stage of infestation, you would have a seizure about ten seconds before you burst. This prevents what would have been a successful escape from being negated by you passing out for no reason two feet from the door. In the movies, the hosts NEVER black out when they have a chestbuster in them, excluding the time in which the facehugger is sedating and choking them.

He doesn't seem to pass out before he bursts, he has a seizure.

This has been met with approval in a post not in suggestions before.

As a primarily alien player, I would have no problem with giving the humans one more chance to escape. Proper hive construction ensures that escapes rarely happen.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Replace the blackouts with a seizure before bursting.

+1, gets rid of blacking out while you're blacked out. And seems a better idea altogether.

Agreed. +1 Seizures would be nicer than blackout.

ONE little seizure before you black out, that pushes you into the ground and you start twitching and have the caffein effect already in the game.
