Just because my brain is leaking out of my skull through my nose at the moment...I thought of something no other game I've ever played had....random colds and flu. It'd ruin your stamina, but could be treated by medic made drugs. You could get leaky noses that give roundtimes to wipe...and scratchy throats that wouldn't let you talk right...maybe stomach sickness that makes you run to find the nearest bathroom in town or bush out of town.
Aside from that, prolonged exposure to rainy weather or too much time in the wilderness could get you sick too. _________________ "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" -- Adam Savage

Eeps. Well i suppose it would make more sense for a medic to actually have medicines than alchemy. But somehow i don't think anyone's gonna go for the cold/flu thing though I could be wrong. It's a neat idea but if it interferes with hunting or other moola making activities, would cause a big big ruckus. _________________ Sage. |

I can see it once they get weather in. Hearing about your brain leaking out of your nose is going to give me nightmares though. |

i dislike the idea because it doesn't offer anything other than me having to go annoy a medic. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

at the expense of me having to go out of my way to deal with randomly generated illnesses that offer nothing to my character but player agitation.
if something is made that helps medics but doesn't help me at all, i'm all for it. but if something is made that helps medics but hinders me, i have an issue with it. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

While I am not directly working on anything of this nature right now, I can tell you all that illnesses (and medicines to combat them) will be added to the game at some point. They have been planned for quite some time.
Please also remember that while Medics will have medicines, the rest of you will have remedies. While not as potent or reliable as medicine, they will help you deal with certain ailments. _________________ Counselor Faith Tempest

i'm assuming illnesses are caused by doing things though, and not just a case of the "sitting around and boom you're ill sucks to be you" though, right? _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

I hear "tailor's pox" and "knitting elbow" are particulary nasty. _________________ ** The phrase "break a leg" just wasn't ambitious enough for Mellie Knight. [8:31 pm]

As I'm not designing any illnesses, I can't answer that question. I only wanted to let you know illnesses are planned. _________________ Counselor Faith Tempest

fair enough. i'm all for things like "running naked on a mountaintop gets you a bit of a cold," but i don't want anything like "sitting in your house gets you ass herpes".

If any of you get afflicted with ass herpes, you're on your own. |
