Idea: Hunger Emotion

Simple idea to make the game a bit more newbie friendly.
when someone would be fairly hungry (let's say, only 2 hunger bar left), his face could turn into an hungry look.
This will allow veteran players to help new players stay alive.

So the game won't be any easier for veterans (might even add more skills since you also have to feed the weak players), but it will help beginners get more help from expert players.

Yes, and I should also be able to force feed you mushrooms in this condition so you go from "OMG I'm dying" to "OMG I'm tripping balls."

Re: Idea: Hunger Emotion

I like the idea, it has to three effects on the same time.

Next to signaling other players the player is in need (may also be due to disconnect) it also gives an additional feedback to the newer player themselves something needs to be done now.

Third effect would be, it would change baby-mother interactions not needing the "F for food" anymore. If this is desirable or a problem, I don't know. It's an effect.

Evolution is about finding the laziest way to survive. I'm all for this idea.

If you're two pips away from death, I'm pretty sure it means you haven't planned out your yum chain correctly. No reason to be starving if you're doing yum yums, which from experience means you always have new food prepared near you.

Untrue. If I'm young or eating a particularly filling food, I like to wait to get the most out of it. I don't want someone to think I'm starving and feed me just because I waited until my last hunger bar to eat that cactus fruit as a teenager.

Re: Idea: Hunger Emotion

I had a conversation with two newer players in the middle of the green plains.  They were both naked, as most of that town was/is in the desert.  When I pulled out my pie to feed myself, I fed both of them and kept answering their questions.  So an experienced player can intuit that someone is having difficulty and help.

On the other hand, the more dramatic play session of the past couple of days ended with the boy I had named Orphan dying in the middle of asking me who had saved him from the murder rampage.   For that I really wish we already had your hungry emoticon feature.  I knew he was pretty inexperienced, and in hindsight he politely waited for my other conversation to end before asking his own question.  This game never lets you prioritize social niceties... 

Which is another reason to like this idea.  I often have to run away from conversations when I realize I'm hungry.  If my face automatically conveyed that I'm running away for a reason, that would be nice.

Maybe it could be a setting that is on by default for newer players?  And when people are experienced enough to do yum stacking they can turn it off.

When you dissconnect, your character will lie on the ground to show that you fainted and went into a coma or something when you woke up


I enjoy the simpler things in life, but only if I'm calm.

Re: Idea: Hunger Emotion

Stop feeding other people when they haven't asked. Not everyone is incapable of eating.


What are you even trying to prevent by feeding someone that can't even feed themselves. They'll lose what? 15 minutes maybe and learn that this game has a fast paced hunger system. New players aren't make of crystal.

I swear, everytime i spawn as a EVE in an old village with plenty of food, at least half the people somehow die to starvation. A lot of people either are really bad or really get bored in advanced villages.
