Arcita Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 When you face other players in a PvP context or a hibernating Bearger, induced sleep and subsequent drowsiness is incredibly overpowering. There's quite simply nothing at all that you can do to combat it. Some ideas: - some type of amulet that wards off sleep at the cost of an armor slot and an insanity aura.- a new crockpot food that is caffeinated and will immediately dispel drowsiness once eaten.

Asparagus Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 - some type of amulet that wards off sleep at the cost of an armor slot and an insanity aura. Hmmm... expensive... sounds fair...recipe pls - a new crockpot food that is caffeinated and will immediately dispel drowsiness once eaten. how are you going to eat it if you're asleep? O__O My take (if I may):Make the rabbit earmuffs null out sound related attacks (like the panflute, or mandrake screech... which is something I would also like t push) Then again, yawns are contagious by just seeing someone yawn... but in DST, just being in the area (even when not directly facing the Bearger) can make you feel drowsy... O___O My suggestion: Gramophone.

leonseye Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Elaborate O___O Well, I was thinking a sort of dropped (or placed) object that prevents sleep in its vicinity due to its annoying (or awesome, depending on point of view) muzac tunes.

One might still be caught by surprise w/ it in their inventory, but you could drop it quickly if you notice your character getting drowsy. Also... gramophone!

O___OBut just in case, what do you suggest would be the recipe, and extent of the effect (stats) O___OIn my experience, it is drowsiness that is the real killer. They can get at minimum one hit in when you're asleep, but drowsiness lasts for like ten seconds allowing your aggressor to just pummel you for the entire duration. Maybe the food, if eaten beforehand, will prevent you from going to sleep entirely, but you'll still go to the drowsy state, and you have to eat another one to get out of that. So if someone puts you to sleep and you haven't eaten anything yet, they'll get one hit in, and then you'll eat your caffeinated food and be immune from sleep for the rest of the battle (until it goes past the point of effect). I also think eating this food should reduce sanity so if the two players enter a sleep-wake cycle it becomes a sanity game. Another idea: the aggressor is also susceptible to their own call to sleep, and must have done something to protect themselves before they use it. I like this because it adds another layer of preparation that is required, and there is a greater sanity cost to their aggressor (who also has a bigger potential payoff if their adversary hasn't prepped properly). As far as recipes, I think adding cacao to the farm crops might be a viable solution. Cacao contains theobromine which is chemically and effectually similar to caffeine. edit: the durian could act like or be used in the crafting of smelling salts due to its extreme smelliness.

GiddyGuy Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Would be cool if the gramophone could make others players to start dancing and you could use it in PvP to make people stop running or in PvE could raise sanity depending on the music. ^_^ Edit : I would also like it if you like in terraria you could record music cause I love the other season music better than the Autumn music.

About sleeping state at fight: You are still able to fight at same state as you are awake. Don't underestimate yourself. I even killed at least 3 people ( not in the same time ), while I was in that sleepy state fighting (Wigfrid XD) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/54515-something-to-counter-sleep-and-drowsiness/#findComment-643707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenix Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Armor alone should counter it. Putting a person to sleep unless through a flute, should not be possible when someone has any type of armor on. Combat should be remade in this game for the sake of PvP. After playing some PvP, I had the most fun in this game than I've ever had even though it's not even attended for that playstyle.

Johnnyprofane Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 You could also use like... Smelling salts. You could make them with the smelliest foods or items, like a durian, maybe some evil petals, and a rotten egg. They could be used to provide sleep immunity for a limited amount of time or to cure drowsiness. Maybe you take a sanity hit when you use them. Who am I kidding the gramophone sounds way cooler. Gramophone for the win! Maybe this could be the cheap way and the gramophone master race could be the expensive, reusable, super awesome way.
