How's The Game?

[havenmods]

Hello Havenites!

This is a post for you to give feedback on the game itself, not on other player's (that's what the HMD is for). This includes the mod team itself, the events, the mechanics of the game on an OOC side, and so on. This can be on anything from things that we are doing right, to things you would like to see changed. We encourage an open discourse of ideas, so please feel free to discuss things with other players as well as just leaving your own ideas here for the mods to see.

-> Please try to be specific in your comments!
-> Anonymous is allowed.
-> Rudeness or insults will not be tolerated, just as on the HMD. People may have differing opinions, and that's fine, as long as it's discussed civilly.

Please note that requesting a change on this post does not automatically mean it will go into effect. If any changes or concerns are reasonable and could be workable, they will be gathered together into one post and put to a game-wide vote to make sure that the interests of the game as a majority are being followed. If an idea or change would not be workable, then I will do my utmost to explain why without just dismissing it out of hand.

And because one of the issues that has already been brought up is a burn out on the intensity of the events, allow me to reassure you that the next event is definitely low key. This is as it focuses more on the introduction of plot points that will become relevant down the line, rather than an immediate horror that month.

Thank you!

I agree with this wholeheartedly, and would hasten to add that, as I'm playing a character who's taken quite a few mental and emotional blows in the past few weeks, it can be really hard to play someone going through so much intensity and still retaining his ability to function properly. Far too often I've had to stave off my character suffering from a complete and total mental breakdown because I know something more awful is just going to appear over the horizon. I feel like this limits me from what I can do with my character, as I have to try to make his reaction as believable as possible without playing out that he's been completely traumatized, as any normal person would be given the circumstances.

I also feel like it's very hard for new characters to get into the swing of things, as events are just moving too quickly for newbies to really find their place. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm having a very hard time getting my new character to find his footing, and I think it's due to all the growing intensity of the events-- I feel like it's hard for me to kind of think quickly about what this new character would do or react to certain situations, especially since it's my first time playing him and I'm still a little shaky about his voice.

Just adding my two cents here-- this is still the best game I've ever been in and I'll never even think of quitting, but this is something that has been bothering me for the last few months, so I figured I'd get it off my chest.
