Breaking Bones needs to be reworked

[schadowhunter 6]

Hi guys.

Since this is my first post i want to thank the devs really quick for providing this awesome mod. Its so good it even made me quit playing Diablo III. =)

Sadly, I have a severe problem. This morning I broke my leg in a little village in the nowhere while crawling through the door of one of these smaller black houses.

Now that my leg is broken i can't stand up again and from what I've understand reading this forum the only possible cure is to use morphine. However i don't have any morphine with me and i cleared the village twice - there is no morphine. I'm not gonna crawl to the next big city to find morphine, that would take ages. And I'm not gonna whine around in the chat either "Please come to XXX, my leg is broken and i have tons of good items please kill me".

I suggest to disable the ability to break bones, as long as the char has bones made of glass and breaks them crawling around.

Don't get me wrong, i actually like the feature to break bones, there is no problem with it. But it is annoying that you can break them doing such random, innocuous stuff as crawling through a door.

Thanks for considering.

You used to spawn with morphine, which limited this problem. Now? Not so much.

All I can say is- Find a friend and get them to find or deliver you some morphine, or note where you are, respawn and find your stuff.

Personally, I like the broken bone status. I wish they would expand on it.

And I think you can stand up (I used to on 1.60) but as soon as you walk forward you fall down again. Use that to get inside of buildings.

But hey, you can either sit in that town until you die, or you can place hope on another and try getting someone else to help you (hoping they won't kill you). Trading works, just don't mention you have good items. Let them negotiate the price, don't mention what you have on you.

I crawled miles to find morphine twice, once when I got a broken bone due to a glitch too, and I know many other players who did the same. Your only argument against that and to ask to have the feature removed is the fact that you don't want to do the exact same thing other players did?

I hope you understand the exact same argument can be used in any form to change anything in game, and it has no value whatsoever.

So basically you're saying "Because I had to crawl miles everybody else should also have to crawl miles", do I understand this right?

The things is: I'm sure you and these other players didn't enjoy crawling miles too much, did you? So why keep a BUG that is obviously annoying everyone except for a couple freaked out hardcore bobs? After all this remains a GAME and is supposed to be fun.

I hope YOU see that your exact argument can be used to block any progress in development. Example: "What, you found a glitch and want it fixed? - Well, everybody else has to deal with the same glitch so your argument has no value..." See what I mean?

Bugs are bugs, you report them and hope they are fixed. Broken bones is a neat part of the game, and sure it sucks if you are alone and lack morphine.

But they could add something like the ability to set the bone manually, without morphine to dull the senses. But it would be very costly in either blood, bandages or even going unconscious like you had less than 3000 blood.

Yes, broken bones is a neat part of the game. Signed. We don't need to discuss this, as i stated in the OP I like and appreciate this feature.

BUT breaking a bone while crawling over a doorstep of about 15cm height is just ridiculous. This is not a feature, as I said this is a bug/glitch which needs to be fixed asap.

Morphine also seems suddenly rare in this update. I got my legs broken last night, which is apparently much easier for zeds to do to you now, and I actually did crawl around looking for Morphine. I went through 4 barns, 3 large apartment buildings and the entire hospital and didn't find a single Morphine.

Has anyone else noticed them becoming suddenly rare? I used to find them all the time, and last night, of course when I needed it more than ever, they were nowhere to be found.

No no. Keep bones implement a diff system. Splint so u can walk slowly only. Use wood planks and cloth to splint the leg.

Use morphine as a temporary fix. Allows you to run for 5 minute spans but has the chance to lose blood.

You need a friend to cast your leg which will heal it in 15 minutes but you can still walk. Adds teamwork.

Implement carrying for friends and groups.

Morphine does not cure leg breAks. CAsts do. 15 minutes for gameplay sAke

You didn't said you wanted the glitch fixed. You said you want the breaking bones feature disabled.

It's natural to assume the glitch is being fixed right now or it's in the issues list.

Crawling over a doorstep is a known bug that can lead to broken bones.

I agree it should be fixed. Just like falling a few steps from a barn ladder doesn't usually break any bones. It hurts a bit.

So while I agree the system needs an overhaul, I cannot agree with the suggestion to turn it off until then. It adds flair. Be aware of the bugs and avoid them.

Also there is one more problem with breaking bones, and that are zombies, i had my leg broken by zombie at least 20 times, in 1.60 it wasn't that often but now they break it on sight. The biggest problem with this is that u basically have 3 towns where u can get med supplies... and that's all if you're somewhere far away from cherno/elektro and u spent your 5 morphines cause u glitched 3x once you got hit by player and once by zombie and had your leg broken, well pretty much you're fucked... you have to crawl for hours or have your friends walk for hours. Worst thing is all you need to do is pack up on morphine, get a full backpack of morph and you're good to go, so basically it adds nothing to the game except the bore of having to crawl, especially since it's mostly glitches you break bones to. And also why zombies who hit you in the head break your leg? Bullets hitting you in the leg is fine mechanic i don't mind it, but zombie hitting you in the head... and jumping down from 2m ....
