State of shock makes it so that if you disconnect while in shock, you will be unconscious when you reconnect. With the huge problem that is going on with how easy it is to simply disconnect to avoid dying, I feel like making shock a bigger and more frequent part of the game could really help. Also, it only makes sense from a realistic stand point. Think about it, you're alone in an apocalyptic, zombie-filled world, you should panic a lot. As the game is right now, and specially since humanity was "removed", you can just murder someone and move on like nothing happened. Right now, you'll only be in shock if you get shot at, and (very rarely) if zombies attack you. What I propose is more frequent, longer shock situations. For example: - Hearing a gunshot within a certain radius would leave you in shock for a minute or so. - Getting chased by a horde (5 or so) of zombies would leave you in shock until you lose them. - Murdering someone would leave you in shock for 20 minutes or something. These are just a couple ideas, but if well implemented, "buffing" the shock could help with the disconnect problem, would make people think twice before shooting on sight, and would make the game more immersive and realistic. Tell me what you think, because I feel like this could really improve gameplay. Also, apologies if this has been suggested before. TL;DR : Make shock more frequent and last longer, it could help with the disconnect problem and the bandit mentality.
