Dead Interactions

We’re only making the experience worse by removing dead interaction.

It’s nice to be able to do something, even if it isn’t huge. And I’ve never seen dead interaction work against the user.

We also wall of a host of potential abilities.

It’s a fun addition that’s worth every downside.

I like Trapped Soul.

can we elaborate on trapped soul ?

They can’t do dead interaction until the Poss dies or jumps again.

I really like the idea of Trapped Soul. I feel like it’s a better alternative to removing Call of the Dead completely, and even if Call of the Dead stays removed, it would be cool to talk to whoever’s possessing you at night.

Unseen and Cult already know their allies.

But even if you are BD you know you are telling an ally information. And if you are reanimated, you need to judge who to use the ability on.

It definitely doesn’t work against their own team.

I also feel that these 3 of Aquillon’s arguments are strong reasons for keeping dead interaction.

What about the argument"Since about 70% of the people leave the game after being dead(not kidding about the number, I had several games when I was unable to revive a DK due to leavers) the majority of the players probably sees being dead as not interesting, which means dead interactions should be removed so that they can leave without us having to ban large parts of the community"

Classes do need to be not soley focused on the dead to account for this, and it also helps to have abilities affect the entire dead chat in order to lower the chances of just failing.

However, as long as it isn’t dependent on dead chat, it can still be a useful and engaging side ability.

And while many players do leave, that isn’t all players.

As long as Psychic/Physician can be useful without their dead based secondary abilities, it’s still an interesting part of the game.

@Ellie - do you have stats on % of people who leave while dead that you’d be willing to share with us to put this in perspective?

Trapped Soul is pretty genius so you wouldn’t say “Psychic 5 is poss”

Replying to this just to indicate that I agree that removing dead interactions are a problem, if nothing else. Obviously.

I do not, but it’s pretty obvious when you’re playing that the majority of people leave.

It’s not fun having your abilities be unusable because people leave the game when they are allowed to.
So to fix that problem, there are two solutions, force people to stay while dead, or remove all dead interaction.

Nobody wants to be forced to stay. If you want to make them want to stay, then you’re gonna end up with ways the dead can heavily impact the current game, at which point killing someone is almost pointless.

It was something we had been planning on for a while. We just needed to get the gold thing implemented first.
