Minecraft Survival - hardcoe mode.

That way, you would heal slowly over time which would mean waiting now makes sense, but you could get injuries which could cause damage over time (bleeding out) or drain stats (broken leg) which would require potions or healing.

I really do think you just want an action game. Having healing over time is geared towards making other ways of healing more and more superfluous so that you spend less time ROLE-PLAYING and more time fighting. I like a combination of the two.

Personally I would have it so that in normal mode health doesn't regenerate and if there were a hardcoe mode, anything that does a certain amount of damage causes your health to slowly degenerate.

I don't know if that would fix the problem, or just exacerbate it.

I wouldn't mind this, but they should make each individual encounter more difficult. As in if you mess up an enemy might gut you in 1-2 hits.

No. Notch has already stated that he is adding a hardcoe mode on top of that: were enemies can break blocks and when you die the entire world resets.
Everytime you remove a restriction it makes the game easier. There's nothing fun in simply spamming your way through every game using cheat codes (My flawless strategy for beating Age of Empires when I was eight)

The system was dumbed down with easy wait 1 hour full heal in Oblivion. It does not need to be dumbed down again. The less rules we have and the game makes for us, the more it simply becomes like sitting in a cardboard box like we used to do, and pretend up some rules and fantasy.

Depends on how powerful the healing over time is.

How about one little tick (and I mean little) per 20 seconds? That doesn't sound very "action game" like to me.

How so? The problem I'm addressing is characters who have had no training in or understanding of magicka, the arcange arts being able to heal themselves from near death.

It doesn't matter if they have all the time in the World to fart around outside of combat, those sorts of skills should be soleley granted to people who have trained and studied in restoration.

I abhor auto regeneration. It caters to our societies impatience. That is all it is there for. I hate that CoD went to that system. IF there were to be an auto-regen system I would like it to be far cry 2 style. You have 6-8 tiers of health and when you are damaged a little bit, you regen to the maximum tier but stopping there. If you are damaged below the next tier, that is now your new max health (remedied by a 'med pack').

Perhaps this should be a higher level perk? I don't want to go into combat, wait a few minutes, and then continue. What is the point of alchemy then? OK, to buff us, but isn't alchemy's primary function to heal health and magika and stamina? Keep mass effect out of my skyrim please.

Yeah, I'm still with the idea of resting as an action. I think, if they have a similar system to Fallout, where you can get crippled or something, then health should only heal to a set barrier, where only once your limbs have healed, you can heal to full health. I think resting should be a definitive action to get health back though.

Not really, unless it's a completely negligable amount.




Inbetween two dungeons a character who has this ability may not need to do anything to make sure they are ready for their next combat. I'd say that sounds action game to me. After leaving some combat and being injured, a character shouldn't be able to frolic in the forest for a bit and miraculously heal the countless gashes they have all over their bodies. They should have the necessary arcane capablity, or have to rely on scrolls, enchantments e.t.c.

Maybe we see different problems. My problem is how all class types are forced into leveling there restoration skill so that they can heal. Putting healing deep inside of restoration might make players look elsewhere for healing or it might make players invest even more time leveling restoration so they can heal.

At that rate, what's the point? I honestly don't see why you want it this much.It's out of genre for an RPG. No one's saying it's a bad a thing by itself; several games handle it well: Shadow of the Colossus, CoD, Halo, e.t.c. It's just not an aspect of a video game that fits that well in a role-playing game.

d20 star wars did this kind of good, at least one of the editions did. You had 2 healths, hit points and wounds. Crits went to wounds and represented real injuries. Hit points represented bruises, fatigue, luck running out etc. Once your HPs were out everything else went to wounds. In Skyrim I could see something like that. You heal naturally from most damage because you really should not have been shot by 30 arrows and still be standing, but you might have been grazed by a crap ton of attacks. Crits or some other representing of a good hit requires magic or medicine of some kind to heal be it alchemy of a sawbones in the next town.

Ah. I can see that as an issue, only if other ways of healing are made unreasonable inaccessible in comparrison. Hopefully, that wouldn't be the case.

I would disagree with you. If you take on the roleplaying of a character like a woodsman or hermit who doesn't go into town or make potions or use restoration then you are pretty much roleplaying a type of character that is, by default, more difficult to play than those who do go to town, make potions, or use restoration. If you severly limit your playstyle then you really can't complain that it isn't fair because others have it easier.

That doesn't mean that I would not like some form of slowly healing over time, but I had no problem with how OB did it.





I wouldn't have a problem with this if the wait was proportional to the amount to be healed. If you are really low on health it should take much longer to regen by waiting than if you were just missing a few health. And you could be interupted while waiting (if in the wild) as bandits, wolves, etc... could stumble upon you or smell your blood in the air and track you down. Since time in the game is much faster than RL time then it would seem to fit if it took 12 hours (game time) to heal up all the way if you were almost completely out of health.

If you want to use healing potions, you have to buy them, give up inventory space to them, then travel back threw at least 3 loading screens to buy more after they run out. Now you compare that to a healing spell that takes up no inventory space, cost no money to use and lets you heal with out back tracking. It's no wonder I always kept my heal spell equipped.

Exactly, but other methods do not result in this. The balance between accessablity and useablity has to be perfect. In Oblivion, it wasn't.

I agree, there are plenty of ways to heal already.

No....

And they should take out the full heal on wait, or at the very least make the regeneration much slower when you do wait.

How much more hand-holding do we need...

What other methods are you suggesting? I think the thing that really kills potion use for me, it's not the cost or that they take away my inventory space. It's the loading screens. Having to run back to town to heal, is not something I am willing to do.

It might help to reduce the number of things that can deal damage to you. Blocking can block all incoming damage and convert it to stamina damage. Falling down could also deal stamina damage.

In Daggerfall, you could pick Regenerate Health as an advantage, during class making.

Although I really think it is unneeded.

Anyways, if it has to be in, make it a perk instead of a permanent change.

Enchantments and sapping magic, sleeping?

I wouldn't want that. Really super slow regeneration would be kind of pointless. Fast regeneration like in shooters would be super ridiculous.
