Waying echo and low stun

[Potaje]

I know this has been mentioned before, and the easy solution is simply to be more aware of ones stun when waying.

But sometimes things get heated or intense over the way and your rolling off your thought with little pause as it comes to you. It would be nice to have a warning, buffer zone, at stun level 10-20, saying -you begin to feel dizzy-.

This would work for most any time your stun was at that point. and seem pretty realistic that you might notice your over doing things before completely knocking yourself out.

I know, a patch for dummies, right.

Do you not put your stun levels in your prompt?   

[Barsook]

I dig this for the realism!

[Barzalene]

Heehee! It's in my prompt and yet...
It's ok. I play it off as my pc is an idiot.

[Refugee]

You can put a trigger in your client to beep if it gets too low.  This helps!

[Maso]

Oh my god. That would be SO freaking amazing. I have my ST in my prompt...but basically I'm an idiot. My characters pass out way too much.

I find it kind of hilarious when extremely powerful people, plagued as they are by mass Wayings, suddenly collapse in the bar.

[Barsook]

I think that Potaje's idea of the code idea.

[RogueGunslinger]

I like this idea. Instead of "you suffer from use of the way" It could start saying "you greatly suffer from the way, and feel dizzy" as you get lower.

My way stats will turn red when they fall below 50% :X

Also if you wanted you could always just throw in a trigger to echo exactly what you wanted. In fact...*does that right now*.

I'm not popular enough to collapse from Waying...

It's alright, they are all to intimidated by you to think it is okay to way you without your expressed permission.

[AreteX]

I think people should collapse from the way more often, not less! :0

This has never really been a problem for me.  I think I have passed out from the way once in five years or something.  Is it really that big of an issue with other people?  I have my stun in my prompt and if it gets to a certain point I just stop waying.

Lower stun cost on Waying by a massive amount.

Problem fixed.

@janeshepard: I could see that, especially if things were done in such a way that contact attempts, barriers, and everything else was totally unchanged, so the only real meat and potatoes of the results of that change would be allowing you to talk more -to the same person-, or to use the same stun taken now, to keep subsequently talking if you're contact/cease'ing 3 people and carrying on a bunch of conversations.

Tell ya what - do that, with the added bonus of *automatially* bringing your stun points to ZERO if you try to do this in a bar, or other public place where other people are apt to pay attention to your character...

Because, y'know, it's more realistic to be paying attention to your surroundings and not be able to pay attention to other people in your head...Or uh - it's more realistic to have telepathic conversations with three different people, but not notice the templar in the bar asking your name.

And hm - how about negative points if you DO notice the templar in the bar asking your name, while having a telepathic conversation with three different people, but only because you color-coded the word "you" in your mud client so that you, the player, would be better able to notice even though your character *should* be too busy trying not to pass out, to notice anyone or anything in the bar - and in fact should probably have his eyes shut, or maybe be...in a quiet room by himself?

Sorry - making it easier for people to use telepathy does not excite me. Making it more difficult to use telepathy doesn't excite me either. The only people who should have it harder, are people who are trying to multi-task. And the only people who should have it easier, are psionicists. Presently, the code supports exactly that, and so I'm satisfied with it.

No. These aren't telephones. These are minds.
