TOPIC: [DEATHRUN] Remove purple fog

Server Name: Deathrun

Suggestion Title: Remove purple fog from the Halloween update

How would it benefit the server: You can actually see the runners/traps

Potential Issues/Exploits: None

Additional notes: Don't really think this was the greatest addition in a gamemode like this. Not only is it hard just to see the runners as death, but its also impossible to see people in BHOP gamemodes after a runner wins.

agreed made me leave yesterday

REMOVE ASAP PLEASE

Hi

Yes, a blanket use of fog on all maps isn't appropriate for the original map designs of those maps. But as a temporary thing, gamemode wide and in the context of a theme, I think it's worth.

Rule wrote: I will admit, one thing i have not made super clear, is that you can use your flashlight - by pressing f (or 'impulse 100' in the console, if you have it unbinded) - to increase visibility in the fog, a bit.
Durring testing the fog visibility was increased to it's current state.
Are there any specific maps you found were visibility for deaths is an issue?

Rule wrote: If you are aiming directly at a player through the fog their name will appear on your sceen. - Assuming you haven't disabled that in the F2 menu.

Kanna. wrote: It doesn't add anything good to the event though, its not really 'spooky', it just makes it tedious to try and play, especially while bhopping. Most people who have actually tried the event have agreed lol.

Kanna. wrote: Yes, you can turn your flashlight on for an extra meter or something of visibility, its really not much better.
Most maps I've played have the same problem, like sure, you can see them when they actually go into the trap, but you can't see them while they're getting ready to go (like building up speed by bhopping).

Kanna. wrote: Their name initially pops up when you aim at them, but the name stays in the same place for a few seconds before disappearing, so its still overly difficult to hit them. Either way, I don't think you should have to rely on seeing nametags to hit someone you physically cant see at all.

The release of the Deathrun Halloween update being when it was, is something that was completely out of Kanna’s control, due to the issues within the community team at the time we never had the availability to help him test the update until it was gone Halloween however, Kanna has had the update ready to go a week or so before Halloween and had we actually been able to get everyone on to test it would have been released on time.

Probably not fair to take that out on Kanna is all I’m saying.

I'm supportive of this suggestion as it became from an aesthetic addition to the Halloween, to a view obstruction which purely makes the death role a bit harder than it should be IMO. I'd be willing to put up with it, as Kanna mentioned until the near end of the month, but only if it gets replaced from a thick fog to a thin cloud or colored smoke instead which can be present throughout the whole map without becoming an obstacle to the smooth gameplay but still give Halloween vibes.

I think you’re missing the point of what I was getting at, I was simply replying to the comment that the Halloween update was released after Halloween. As for your point of removing the fog, it is literally only a temporary feature, if Kanna was to accept this suggestion I’m sure the soonest it would be removed is the next update anyhow. Changes were made to the fog overall and Kanna also went out of his way to individually check all the maps and even disable it in some cases for deaths.

Kanna is more than welcome to get rid of it whenever he wants, it’s an existing server feature and therefore doesn’t need any testing or agreement from us to remove it, I just personally think it’s easier to remove features at times of other updates, particularly seasonal ones. Your other point loops back to the release date of the update, which again I’ve already stated why that happened. I know you haven’t already directly said this but most of the features designed for a Halloween update will have a “spooky” feel about them so removing them deducts from a Halloween update.

Lets get this handled before the event ends

Took this screenshot from the last time I was on deathrun, spot the runner
