Arachnophobia mode is even worse

[Zaketh]

Hey, as someone who does not jive at all with big spiders in games, I LOVE that you guys tried to alleviate that a bit. Thank you so much for taking people's sensitivity into account. With that in mind though...I wish it was implemented a bit better. The funny cat pictures are funny at first but they have a few problems:

1) They make the hit boxes very ambiguous, making it harder to kill the little buggers when they swarm you
2) There's no way to tell if a spider is dead or alive when it's a static png of a cat
3) They don't remove the sounds of the spiders, which is (arguably, IMO) the WORST PART of spiders
4) The floating cat heads sliding along the ground at pretty freaking creepy in their own right! (not to mention they still sound like spiders, so it's not that much better, see above.)

I would love to see some effort into making a different model instead of just a floaty cat PNG. Maybe just floating spheres/cubes so the hit boxes are more clear, or maybe reusing the Hog models or, dare I say, just removing spider spawns all together in arachnophobia mode.

At the very least, please, please remove the sounds. Cats that sounds and jump like spiders are even more terrifying.

EDIT: I found the Real Arachnophobia Mod but I still think it would be great if some of these features were implemented into the base game. Thank you for reading!

Also, I love cats too much to be killing them. :(
I know it's just a game, but still...happy thoughts, right? lol

Hmm....should I even post on this thread?

My stingers sound like cats in arachnophobia mode, I never get spider sounds with the mode enabled but yeah that is the worst part of spiders... The movement of those critters alone...

They know, they don't care, just like dedicated severs.

Instead of attacking ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, stop being one and face the monster behind the cute little pictures.

You can't expect everyone to use their eyes to look at thread dates lol. Someone had to fall between the cracks.

Devs put so much love into Stinger's models and their animation, so why would anybody want to use the Arachnophobia mode in the first place? Really a shame...

This is a 3 year old thread that has been necroed by someone who deliberatly spent time just to get mad.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
