These 20/80 events are disgusting

[existenzrippa]

With most every caracter, i get these 80% you die events. The 20% dont have any chance to get. Savescumming didn´t work. One year older save also didn´t work. The event triggers always on the same date ingame. When makes the game the decision to trigger these event?

Sry for bad english, i´m not a native english speaker.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I've also been having this problem

Just had my starting character die within 10years of starting the game, to one of these unavoidable 80% chance to die Events.
The Harm system is just atrocious and needs rebalancing, it should not happen that quickly or frequently, I wasn't even given a CHANCE to get an heir yet (non-stop romancing and seducing,but like in so many other playthroughs my wives only pump out daughters) and not given a chance to avoid the event in any way either. It's just flat out "80% chance your game that you set up is over now". That's just stupid.

I know the events are tweakable, but there needs to be a more reasonable option to pick from. Right now our options are either
- Standard, aka "RNG can randomly mark your characters for death and kill the player off at any moment, which in unmodded games with 200+ years of partition would also be absolute hell,not to mention ruin the entire point of the skilltrees and end games early because LOL 80% DICEROLL.
or
- Illusion of safety (unexplained what it does unless someone is willing to datamine, why isn't that setting properly explained?)
or
- "Turn the system off" (stupid because the IDEA behind it is solid and the game needs a way to shake up the mid-to lategame, but the current implementation is just trash, RNG stacked ontop of RNG with a heavy (80%) bias against the player)

100% agree. There are some major balance issues in the new release and it's incredibly frustrating, making completing a campaign nearly impossible. Feels like Ruler is constantly dying, becoming incapable, or some other horrible event, which almost always results in needing to start over. At first I thought it was just bad luck, but it's clearly a balance issue. I tend to be a conservative player and tend not to take too many risk, but this is just garbage.

Developers need to fix this balance issue ASAP. Shouldn't have to play in "safe" mode.

[londonhokie]

Update: changed settings to "safe" and started a new campaign. Ruler died within 20 mins of playing. This is a joke.

I can confirm the "Safe" option is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I've already seen too many rulers incapable and it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying.

So in my most recent game, I have an absolute Chad who is 19, has 24 prowess, decide to go hunting. Corners Bison with 10% chance to die. Rolls the dice and next thing you know I'm in a Regency for my 1 year old daughter. I guess there are times when 10% is too great a chance to take.

That might merit a 3-fingered salute.

Since this got digged, does anybody know of a way to disable random deaths in tournaments as well? At least for the player?
I've been playing on safe for forever now, but I still try to avoid wrestling tournaments because getting my neck snapped is extremely common still (even from people with less than half my prowess).

The CK3 Devs are really bad at balancing their Game, Characters should not die in Tournaments, if they can not die in Battles(Prowess Skill over 40).

I do disagree about that in particular, as I think the freak accident makes sense to simulate.
But I don't think it does when you purposefully enable an option to disable such occurrences. I just think the tournament coding is separate and unaffected, which sucks, but even savescumming can be difficult in some cases.

For instance I "solved" one of these by sabotaging the specific dude that was going to kill me, but that's already annoying because it was against my character's traits.
Another time I straight up had to install a cheat menu and murder the dude or renounce my campaign. It really sucks.

There's a lot going sour with % in the tournament DLC related content (hunts seem super borked for me and the archery win% is always wrong, for instance) but the killing thing is what gets to me because of the safe setting.

This is a Game and it has an Mechanic, that prevent Characters from dying in Battles, if their Prowess Skill is over 40, so this should work for Tournaments too.

I think they should stick with the gambling deaths they feel much more like my own fault.
I've died from laughing once. It was a tiny 1% chance and very inconvenient but that was at least my fault for picking the prompt. Those kind of "harm events" are a lot more fulfilling then "whoooaa, I stepped out of bed too quickly, try to grab a curtain! Oh I"m dead."

You can dodge the harm event by switching to other playable chatacter for couple of days, and then switch back.

Stop save scumming and restart. You were meant to die so let it happen. Play Ironman mode and accept your fate.
