Ghosting doesn't allow for cloning. I've only seen people succumb to prevent larva, not because they're bored of paincrit. When hand biting was still a great way to kill yourself, people would do it the moment they got cuffed so that they wouldn't spawn a larva.Godzillan wrote:At the same time though what's wrong with ghosting?

Re: Add back succumb.
Xenos who paincrit are just doing it for the larva they get...hence why its free as xenos don't have to work an defend their hosts.Godzillan wrote: I can tell you that when I slash a host I don't think "oh man i'm gonna send this dude into paincrit and get a free bonus larva", I'm more thinking "alright I'm either going to kill this guy or keep him out of the fight for a while" and the situation you're describing seems like more of the exception than the norm. I certainly haven't seen anyone clearly doing it with paincritting in mind but then again I primarily play the Sentinel caste so I can't really get into the mind of Young Runner (728).
Also I'm still confused what a "free bonus larva player" is supposed to be. What makes it a free bonus larva as opposed to just a larva that bursted from a facehugged host?
Regardless this could be alright, I don't remember succumbing feeling broken or anything so I'd be open to see how it'd work now. At the same time though what's wrong with ghosting?

Re: Add back succumb.
Im kinda with it (especially with some xenos taking off your arms while hugged) though I think there need to be a certain breaking point for you to be able to succumb like multiple wounds or ruptured lung

Re: Add back succumb.
I'm deciding to put my input here. Last weekend I was being carried to a nest, huggered, when a ravaged runs up, slashes me twice and then runs out of the hive. I spent the rest of my spec round stuck in painkrit not able to escape. I do agree most xenos don't do it but when they do it's frustrating as all hell. I am inclined to go with +1 but I could see where this could go wrong. Sticking to nuetral

-1 If it were up to me once you get stuck in a resin nest you wouldnt beable to even resist to get out of it. In the movies they are covered from their neck to their feet in resin and cant even move. I dont think you should even beable to escape at all none the less kill yourself unless another marine helps you.
