I received a disturbing pm from Lord Foul just now regarding the death of one of my more skilled characters. Ben Conroy appears to have passed away in the Somerset Hospital. Last I knew he was in decent health with no injuries. Any explanation for his sudden death?

SS Hospital is registered as the place of death when a character dies due to aging/wear-and-tear (i.e., when Str, Dex, or Spd hit zero)

Wait, so people die naturally when one of those stats hit zero, and that's the only reason, so if I have a deteriorating fast guy with high of all 3 stats, he will still live for a while?

Sam, the reason I made Kom aware was that you originally stated that a character dies when a stat Str,Dex or Spd reachs 0.

But after some discussions you had later agreed to change it so that a character only dies if their Str reaches 0 as Str represents the characters health. When I noticed Koms guy dead, but his Str was still high, I sent him a PM asking how he died because I had presumed you made the change back when you agreed to do so. It appears Kom's guy died due to his Dex reaching 0.

I'm going to make a change so that speed and dexterity never drop to zero, therefore it's only strength that kills you at zero. This is more in line with the role that strength has always had in the game (it's a combination of str+con in D&D language.. I always thought it was a bit redundant having them as separate stats)

Of course, since everyone recently started with zero mileage, no character is actually anywhere near having aging effects yet.

That's a change that never got made then, maybe it's not to late to make it *Nudge Nudge*  :)

"It appears Kom's guy died due to his Dex reaching 0. "

Or, due to a routine rectal examination that went horribly wrong.....

Maaaan, we'll have to call you Marrkos II.
I have no recollection of this..

edit: I have now implemented this change. Dex and Spd will now not drop below 1.

Kom: I'll resurrect your character and set his Dex to 1. If anyone else has any that need fixing, send me a PM!

Not me - my guys seem to die from MY mistakes, not from wearing out... :)

My biggest mistakes in the past? Oh, I'll take them out before they get too close... "them" = MM, Polt, Cres, another MM, Sir Rocket... Yep - that many in one scout one time...

Oh - and my other biggest mistake? "yes I'm breached but I want to capture that lorry..." when I could have let them escape and live... sheesh...

My biggest mistake was trusting TTs once they'd been fixed.

Got one to renowned in 2 weeks when they first came out... because the AI couldn't seem to shoot them...

Then sam fixed it, and I still thought I was invincible...

Lost a whole bunch of good guys that day, 2 of them were 200+ gunners :(

If this is derailing into a mistake thread then mine was accidentally shooting my own psi peds with rockets Twice! and the second hit knocked one off into the mire of a atg, plus he had defensive energy specialsm, and i forgot about it!

Haha, my most memorable mistake was...

Other guy: You sure that laser osprey is out of the line of fire?
Me: Yeah, it's clear!

And turn goes by, it gets nudged by an npc... in front of a twin TG firetruck...

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom... Yeah, it rapidshoots both guns, what gives?

Suffice to say, there was no lasers, crew or osprey left to drive home, good times :rolleyes:
