Witch Doctor Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Disclaimer: I haven't survived long past day 20 so i might be speaking about something, that for all i know, is in the game already. I would love to see some kind of progression of age, something that is obvious just by looking at someones player to say "Damn, this guys been playing for awhile..". I was thinking of an extreme beard, a long white beard that trails on the ground as you run that you could only receive after being alive for a long, long time. I'm picturing something like the picture below. Not sure how long a "long, long time" should be, since that's kind of subjective but you get the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptCalavera Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I was really hoping the beard would continue growing after time. But its the same on day 60 as it is on day 16. Has anyone gone longer and noticed more beard growth? However you do get more beard hair when you cut it after day 60 than you do on day 16, and it takes forever to shave :PBut I like the idea of beard (or hair) showing how long you have played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch Doctor Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just throwing out a couple more ideas that could make Winston look older. A walking stick in the off-hand, so it stays equip even while holding an Axe, etc. I figure that Winston's hair is like his trademark so i would prefer not to suggest things that change the shape of his hair. But if his hair and beard go white, that would show him aging without messing up his style. Wrinkles, bushy eyebrows .. just general traits you find in elderly men If these changes were put into the game, they could be unlocked gradually. Beard goes white at day 30 Hair goes white at day 40 Wrinkles form and Eyebrows become huge at day 50 He gets a walking stick at day 60 and his beard grows into its full glory at day 70 or something to that effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonradosHut Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I think it will only feel "ok-ish", if the age effects appear only after 100 days... and maybe double the frequency of the changes. Days 130, 150, 170, 190, 210 changes would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellusious Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Dragging beard physics!But seriously, what about his actual hair, doesn't that grow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonradosHut Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Cellusius, nope, his hair has no need of growing. And it is all explained: it is because... SCIENCE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serrrg Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 But than you will have to decrease the strenght of a character proportionally to the age....like if you need 5 hits for a rock at day 1, you will need 8 or 9 at the stage of white beard..?

Smissen Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I think 26 hours for last stage is alittle much since atleast now you would have to afk "farm" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptCalavera Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I think that would just make the game more tedious over time, but maybe some other way of making the game more difficult the older your character is? Thats an interesting idea.The longer you survive, the harder it is and death will be more and more likely. And it would trigger a need for long term planning.
