The Hourglass

[DarkOverlord 0]

What kind of bloody purpose does it serve other than to annoy the fuck out of you with its 30sec-2min cooldown?

I (personally) think that the whole hourglass thing is okay overall but needs a bit "fine tuning" per se.

I've had few cases where you get knocked out by the very first zombie that manages to hit you and then you're just staring that hourglass thing til you just die. Might as well throw this theme on the background while at it:

:P

Does anyone know if the timer in hourglass is random or is it affected by your condition ? ie. your blood / food / drink status. If not, it could be something to look in to, as in better the shape you are, less hourglass staring !

Put in a script where your keyboard doesnt work like Alt F4 or Ctrl Alt Del while unconcious.

You also need a script that prevents the users power button on the computer from being pressed, and the power cable from being unplugged.

I wouldn't turn my off my whole pc in case i got only AKM or M16 but people with NVG's, GPS and High end gear would do it.

Just got another mechanic idea, let the players stay in the server until the timer finish while being passed out.

When you are low on blood , you fall inconcious randomly. And this kind of feature is what pushes the ppl to play together. because if you're alone you are obviously dead when falling inconcious while being slain by Zeds

Unconsciousness is a result of;

A. A zombie striking you when you have <9000 blood (should be 8000 and it has a chance of occurring after the third hit by a zombie within 5 minutes). You're as good as dead if you dont rage quit. Happened to me with some good gear, I sprinted my ass back and grabbed my stuff luckily.

B. Taking far too much damage in a short amount of time.

C. Having <5000 blood (which is fair).

Problem is with A. is when a zombie hits you in some fucked up way and you're doomed. But hey, it's an alpha.

I really don't like how the hourglass graphic is broken in which only half of it degrades. I'm not sure if that is fixed, but I believe that is the most game-breaking bug. DC'ers, wire-blockers, and server-hoppers got nuthin' on this (obviously I'm kidding). However I have yet to use this but I have my internet to my PC by cable and the port in the wall is right behind me. If I unplug the fucker, which I may be coaxed to do if something complete bullshit is happening to me when I've got high-end gear, what penalty is set on me versus people who lose connection for real? I know you may spawn in an empty forest if you lose connection like that but it's no big deal, you could reconnect and I believe your put back to where you force dc'ed.
