It's incredibly boring to die early in this game

[Disappearing Salami]

There needs to be a way to be helpful when dead, or atleast entertain yourself a little.

you can add an upgrade or item in the game that supports this.

Like Drones. People who die become a drone that fly around, you can make beeps and help scout, maybe having 2 or 3 emotes that can show "DANGER" when you beep. Or "This way". etc.
Or a mini bot, you become a smaller version of yourself, a bot that can collect non-heavy treasures, with one equipment slot. You can still die to monsters, and you cant talk. maybe you can still use emotes to communicate.

Dying early just means waiting and sitting around, very boring game mechanic. Let's make it fun or atleast less taxing.

hehehe yeah I think the same goes for Phasmophobia, but there you can throw some bottles around I guess. But it doesnt have to be boring to die early, it can just be a change, like in Forewarned.

I don't think there should be a reward for failure.

Yeah, I find dying later in the game is way more exciting and shows off my high level game play skills

You can die from random instances.

And if your three friends survive the whole day, then you're just there waiting. This doesn't always happen, but some of my friends always die early, and I want them to have a fun time playing this.

That has to be the most useless comment I've ever seen.

I still think we should be accommodating for people who are new to the game, or friend groups who have one bad player.

There's no reason not to have a system here for this when the result is one player waiting 10minutes for the other while only monitoring their gameplay without any affect to the game.

It isn't a reward, merely a system that supports a fun gameplay experience. There's so many games that have this, or simply END when you lose. You can't end this instance when you lose, you end up having one player that waits for 5-15min while the rest of the crew plays the game.

how does this suggestion hurt your gaming experience while playing? Do you really think this is a bad idea?

It's a similar problem that RoN has where someone dies and they can't do anything for the rest of the round, usually resulting in them leaving. At least in RoN the game could continue if the host doesn't leave (which they usually die first), but in this game if someone leaves that is a slot which will never be refilled.

Yeah, something like being able to help (far less) with a drone or something would make for a good gameplay experience.

watching my friends try to piece together what was going on after I die is super funny, and I honestly never got bored of being dead.

Maybe playing counter strike for almost a decade now made me not care about spectating after death but it seems like such a non issue to me

absolutely, I'm crying of laughter every damn time. That the whole point of this game anyway. If you want to have a better change to survive early, stay in regular maps with no eclipse or stuff. My friends and I are always aiming for the crazy stuff. We love it!
