"You've been spottted/heard" Notification

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

"You've been spottted/heard" Notification

Post by Anomandaris »

We currently get a notification when disguise is broken, why not when stealth has been broken? It's not only important info but entirely reasonable a character would notice being noticed (there are visible tells given when spotting someone creeping around, eyes following you, head turning, anxiety increases & body tenses, avoiding the space you're in deliberately so on and so on).

It doesn't need to be listen/spot specific, just you've been caught sneaking or something generic would suffice. If you wanted to make this really slick the "spotter" could roll off a bluff/perform against the sneaker's spot to see if they are "noticed, noticing" too. Just a thought.

Approved for this to be tied to the sneakers spot. It's a solid suggestion.

Unfortunately this is being moved to rejected, as we tested this earlier in the year and it could not be made to work reliably.
