Suffocation

#1 Post by HousePet »

Currently autoexplore/rest is interrupted when you are at 75% air remaining.
For a normal character this is an annoyance, but if you are a Yeek or are wielding Vargh's Redemption its horrible.
Could the warning limit please be changed to < 50 (not percent)?

I've never encountered a situation where I don't realize I'm suffocating, even when zipping through on auto. Changing it would be fine, in my opinion.

Well, lowering the current % makes it less safe at the cost of convenience-it's definitely possible to autoexplore your way from 100 to a place where you can't get to any bubbles(hit autoexplore after exhausting some bubbles and get pretty unlucky, can happen.).

I'm not against that-I'm usually shrugging a little at handholding systems-but I have to say that death'd be very anger-inducing.

Since the question here is partially about Yeeks/Vargh Redemption, there is another solution that might be better? Make the check for Air>75, rather than a percent check. That fixes the Yeek/Vargh problem easily.

I'm only asking for it to be change to check for 50 air or less, not remove it completely.

Make it a configurable option.

Leave it where it is for the safety of the n00bz0rz, but let "grown-up" players take their lives in their own hand.
Check out my addons: Nullpack (classes), Null Tweaks (items & talents), and New Gems fork.
