New Hail effect ideas

[Edible Coal]

since they will add back threats to hail, and we know it wont be falling debrides because is too performance heavy , what ideas do you people have for the new hail ?

I'd really rather it not mess with movement. That's just annoying.

Lowering the defense of your equipment is doable. Make a survivor's max health matter a bit more.

glass shards piles sounds cool, I like it.

I only hope they are two-faced, as a threat but also can be use by player with game knowledge.

Those brain dead WASD-only action scenes only for killing player character are really boring.

Surface cave-ins were sooo boring though. So bad of a mechanic you either stood under a tree for 3 minutes, or had to rely on the opposite affinity rift to solve the issues with an umbralla.

I imagined something like the moon glass building up on your character, but instead of slowing you down, the next hit you take will shatter the glass and cause you to take extra damage, maybe planar damage equal to how much you've let the glass build up.

That being said, I like the lunar birds attacking you too, maybe pecking the glass off your body. Reminds me of Home Alone.

Or dodge it.

In fact, the current state looks pretty good.
The only one' what he lacks is the constant small damage to the player...
and the glass... Do this' so that instead of glass, a smaller analog would fall out, from which glass can already be made.
Have stacks of glass near the house... It's too strong.

Many people forget this feature... And unlike earthquakes, your screen doesn't shake.
