DaveTheHeadcrab Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 What are your general opinions on melee weapons sticking in wounds? What I would like to see happen is this only occur when an object is thrown at a person, and not when you slice someone with the weapon. I generally find this confusing as an addition. because all it does is put someone's attacks through an RNG to see if they lose their weapon arbitrarily or not, and it otherwise serves no real gameplay purpose I can think of. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigercat2000 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It doesn't make much sense to have small weapons such as knifes stick embed, but, I think it makes for a more fair fight when larger weapons such as axes get stuck in the enemy.

Sheakhan Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 When a weapon sticks in an enemy, historically and realistically speaking, you put your dirty-ass boot on them and pull it out. Only a complete numbskull would get his weapon stuck in someone and then just go: "Huh, well, guess that's lost forever." before letting it go. Basically, it's obnoxious, doesn't seem to add anything to the game, and doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNG isn't exactly what I would call "fair" and really, big weapons like fireaxes/E-swords are pretty balanced already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereticChurch Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Yeah, the embedding is really annoying in combat, and it's really noticable in highlander, where if your claymore gets stuck in someone on the first hit you do, GG. If it were to be kept in, at least make it do triple damage or something if that happens, or knock the person down long enough to pull the damn thing out again, because losing your weapon in a single hit in equal combat due to RNG hating you is no fun. Also chaplain losing his null rod in a cultist's head kinda screws him over until surgery is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plotron Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Remove or make it rare enough. And disable it for more shit, like the null rod (never even heard of it getting stuck!). The claymore is way too annoying. And I love the idea of this "sticking in wound" shit being in fact crittical damage and knock over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midaychi Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 There's actually a verb for yanking embedded objects out of nearby people. It does some nasty damage too. Problem is it requires the victim to stand still a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkvA Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Yep, remove it. Nothing but a nuisance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemanspark Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 If an energy sword got stuck in you, it would slice you right in half along with your insides. If someone threw a knife at you, it would stick inside. Other than that, this feature is unneeded and irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox McCloud Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Dave has made a proc for this; he or I just need to go through and start adding this to a few high-damage items (fire-axe, cleavers, toolbox of robustness, etc)...I seriously doubt a fire-axe can get embedded in a wound. Thank goodness bullets don't cause dismemberment anymore, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceTimeNow Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I am not sure what we agreed on here, but in case some weapons still keep stuck in bodies: It should either be faster to pull out a weapon, the time you need to find/type that verb is annoyance enough, or make it so that pulling out a weapon deals some massive damage. Also there should be some very distinctive noice it makes when a weapon gets stuck. One round i just didn't notice it getting stuck and ran around with a hatchet in my head for like 3 minutes until i was wondering why i still take additional damage...

belarion Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes please, get rid of it, or at least apply it to certain weapons only (broken bottles stick a lot IRL don't they?). Its annoying as hell when your only immediate weapon is inexplicably taken from you by the damn RNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
