Add a toggle which disables online events

#1 Post by Chronorider »

While Vorpal Bunnification is hilarious and I am sure the majority absolutely loves it, the crit boost is a concrete mechanical advantage which you cannot turn off. I hate feeling like I have an unfair advantage over other players simply because I happened to be playing at the right time. In a way it cheapens the sense of achievement I get when I finally do manage to beat the area that devoured all of my best characters up until now.

You can make it an 'I take this game way too seriously and hate fun [ ]' checkbox :P.

Can you not remove it with right-click like other temporary buffs?

You can remove everything beside Vorpal Bunnification, as far as I am aware.

When I right-clicked on it (meaning the status indicator to the right of the screen), it asked me if I wanted to deactivate it. Didn't try actually doing it, because I'm not a mean bunny-hating such-and-such, but I'd imagine that should work.

Last I tried that, it did not work. It could be a bug.

Hmm, well it probably wouldn't hurt to have the option you're purposing anyway for those who want their game to be insulated from such contingencies.

Supporting and bumping.

Also, I'd love incompatible events not to trigger. I play a bit of ID and there's no way I'm gonna go do bearscape from there (unless somehow a rod of recall spawns - I have already got Orb of Many Ways).
