Removing Cloner removes a failsafe for Medbay incompetence

Post by Helios » #555759

Did anyone else notice occasionally having a round where medbay isn't on their game, and you end up repeatedly dying in medbay, as they are unable to revive you?

It's kind of an edge case situation, but ending up in limbo, where your character isn't dead so you can ghost, but isn't alive and you're in perpetual crit kind of sucks. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen more since the removal. Did other people have similar experiences? In the most recent situation, I think it was because they accidentally had me overdosing on some drugs, like Epinephrine, and even if I got revived I still had it in my blood and would go back into crit and die.

People decided the game needed to be hardcore, and we can't support two versions of the game so its either arcade fast pace or slowed down for RP where things are removed rather than improved or listening to any feedback from the people who play.

Honestly Helios. I recommend figuring out some sort of roundstart strategy with pod-personing. Maybe co-operate with botany, or ask them for one of their own trays and a cabbage and try to make a pod-person tray on the side.

Even botany mutating got neutered though. So.....it's a tough slice no matter where you look.

epipen od isnt that bad to send you back to crit repeatly, in your case its either bloodloss (perpetual crit state) or liver failure (they gave you the wrong meds)

If anything, right now, the biggest problem is ye old poison. Purge stomach doesn't work forever (Once the person run out of nutrient he's done vomitting), and high amounts of poison are irrecoverable otherwise since ytou can't feed dead people pentetic/salbutamol. but really, the problem is that most people will get organ damage too quickly when they die in maints or such, and by the time they get in a stasis bed (Assuming they aren't all occupied, and taht there is power on the station, and that medbay hasn't been bombed to the stone age yet), the recovery process requires a bunch of transplants (Which requires autolathe or a supply of stored organs), a lengthy session of surgery and a defib. It can easily take 30 minutes to get a ded man to life properly, even if you everything efficiently. If the doctor has any lack of familiarity, it will take longer yet.

I hold no stock in the argument that we can't make the game better because our players are too stupid sorry.

Don't worry, they're removing stasis beds and replacing them with a dozen machines that don't do anything. Soon you won't have to worry about being revived every five seconds, you'll just stay dead.

Yeah, I saw that. Actually made me chuckle a bit. First PR after getting the github back? More medbay nerfs.

I still don't understand why they're trying to code an HRP medical system for an LRP/NRP playerbase.

How is occasional collective incompetence of medbay fucking with people's round anyhow different from incompetent engineering leaving station devoid of power, incompetent cargo leaving station without mats/money for articles of first need in some situations or incompetent security throwing station into chaos and anarchy?

It's like the game makes your life more valuable since you have to actually watch out for yourself or something.
Also, if medbay is too incompetent routinely then there's an answer for that and it was the same for engineering releasing the sing at the start of the story.
Take some responsibility and do it yourself, maybe.

Here's an idea for Manuel: there's no cloning, no defibs, no anything. People die when killed. But then you can respawn with a new character after short cooldown.

That way you would have to maintain 10 maps instead of 5. One with cloning, one without.

This is true. But this was only an issue when half the station was dead so quick cloning was necessary.
If there's 10 people in line for the cloner, I can succumb by whispering, if they keep fucking up people's cloning, and whisper to them stop turning off the power while they're by the tank

The RP level we're at right now is just fine thanks.

Increasing it only serves to gut actual fun mechanics and battles, with words words words words and emotes.

for an example, antags on paradise can't do a thing without getting banned. Even attacking sec attacking them! would cop a ban.
