Okay more and more this is dividing people and a poll will probably divide the base more.
As much as some people are in favor of this. I tend to like more chill... and if I die and have myself be prescanned to have that as a safety net.
I like the CHOICE.
If I don't want it to matter or make it harder, I'd be puritan OR in some cases, I do not take the scan cause it is funnier. Once again MY CHOICE.
This stuff and the suggestion of removing pre-scan... undermines MY CHOICE of an easier relaxing time.
But I had a round where I didnt get scanned.. and it took medbay having my body for 10+ mins in their bay and... They let me rot to death :|
I was salty like hell... cause I died in medbay infront of doctors who could have scanned me.
Heck I died prescanned, my disk blinking and it took... well 15+ mins before they noticed: Oh crap this guy is dead, lets scan em.
I could have respawned as a new charater in that time. So even prescanning in both disk and even before the disk change didn't get me instacloned.
But the real reason I bring this stuff up....
I am just seeing this as a hardcore vs casual problem.
We made hygiene optional since it was ANNOYING to maintain and now we are basically reintroducing it for people who want to use pre-scanning.
Like I hear people say: Well now medbay gets to do something during quiet hours.
That's just it... lately medbay has been anything but quiet with shifts I am on.
In my opinion, if you all want to really add this. Classic only, I'd wouldn't mind that.
But overall I rather have a different mechanic then I introduced in an earlier post.
But what I don't want is my choice to become a hassle with no alternatives.
But I would be fine with let's say.. removing pre-cloning.
EDIT:
I notice a lot of the previous posts mention: FIND THE BODY.
Okay the body doesn't get pinged... it can be tossed out or dispossed em.
Or can get gibbed. There is no way you can fight it but pre-scanning.
