Suicide meta OP

[DeityofGreed]

Anyone else just letting themselves die the first five levels instead of healing/eating/drinking?
I pretty much never utilized it before, but the new lack of water isn't really difficult as much as it is just tedious/inconvenient. Now I just drop a bed and have a little glass as a treat before I do my quests. I don't mind glass jars not spawning in toilets, but I should be able to boil tincans or find useable containers in a kitchen.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

Yes, the game tends to be much easier when you just kill yourself over and over again instead of even remotely trying to not die.

big true its what i do food and drink get low i store my stuff then either eat glass or feed myself to zombies to reset my bars the 25% exp loss isn't a big deal and is very easy to get back and lvl up still

Yeah I suspect sometime they will go the Project Zomboid rout to prevent this. Having you spawn as a new person with fresh stats after each death.

Even with critical injuries like a sprained leg which is worse than a broken leg since you can't treat it...Just finish the job and fully break it so you can heal it. Some people just take the glass way out and are fully cured of disease and broken bones.

It's why I play perma death but yeah, lol core game loop

[Outhous]

Dying to cure issues is such a cheese move.

if you're a good player... you dont need this chicken way... If you think you need it... it's a shame...

[Darren]

its not about needing, its about how effective it is. and, sadly its more effective then trying to survive. In a Survival. Wouldnt do this, but i testet and yes, this is a way to make your Progress faster 'cause the exp aren't so valuable anymore - you dont need them till midgame.

The problem isn't that people need to do it, it's that the game HEAVILY incentivizes it.

If you are enjoying playing that way, cool, more power to you!

I going to admit doing something like this when wellness was a thing. I just died until reached the bottom, and just played with the bottom as the new normal.
That way I didn't had to worry about wellness anymore.

the incentive is not really there... in my entire playing time I didn't think about it once...

it depends on the nature of the player...a player who does that would also engage in creative to heal... or use another way to do that.

If they don't want to follow through with the consequences, there's not much that can be done. You don't have to play with them... and if there are any exploiting them on the server... you can think of yourself as something better since you don't need to do that.

very easily.

U didn't think about != it doesn't exist.

i know it exist... but I'm a good player so i dont need to do something like this... that is why i didnt think above this.

[XelNigma]

also, playing like that takes the fun out of playing. Might as well enable cheats and turn on invincibility and no clip while your at it. Your just cheating your self by playing that way.

[Darren]

it has nothing to do with good or bad player or playstyle. It's the ability to see the fact and to recognize it as a maybe not wanted result. I say that because you said good players dont need it, and i say other ones also dont "need" to, but use it. The Gamedesign should be like this way isn't lucrative anymore.

In A20 I played with this modlet:
