Implemented Increase Beard Growth Timer

[hawke]

As the thread title states a change to the timer value for beard growth on male characters. Right now, it takes almost no time at all to grow a full beard, something that would realistically take someone months to grow.

Nearly all my characters are turning into Moses with their rapid beard growth, it'd be helpful if the timer was increased.

How long exactly would you say then?

 

[Robert]

Can be sorted out. Just need to discuss how long it should take.

86400 seconds or 24 hours at the very least.

I'd say make it an in-game week or two

My understanding is that it tracks in-game time rather than OOC time. So the problem is that if you set it too long and someone only plays one hour per day, then they could theoretically play for months and never have their beard grow at all. And on the other hand people who play ridiculous amounts will have the beard-growing at reasonable or excessive rates.

86400 seconds or 24 hours at the very least.

I think 24 hours is reasonable, for most players this is about a fair amount of game time and makes sense.

There are two stages to consider, first stage is 6 hours of gameplay and is semi long beard, second is 12 hours of gameplay and is long beard. Both allows styling.

This seems like good option

But this is what it is now

Shit maybe I don't have a life then. I only started playing a few days ago and had a full beard within 2 days. Oof. Should just double what it currently is.

It used to be 3 and 6 hours but I guess the increase to 6 and 12 wasn’t enough. I can make it be 12 and 24 hours instead. Or would you rather have 24 and 48?

I think it should be 6 and 24 so that people that play just a little a day can get a beard, but so it is still harder to max out the beard level. (So long as it is possible to set it to that)

I also would personally love to see an additional beard level for the more dedicated players, and make the system more exponential. Like: 6, 18, 48. This would allow for players that play an hour a day grow a small beard in a week and give people with a lot of free time a beard to look forward to after a few days. But I also understand that this would take more work to implement.

I mean it already is exponential but in two variations which is why we’re talking about 6 and 12 and so forth. I think I’ll conclude this at 24 and 48 because 6 and 12 or 12 and 24 will still be complained about.

 

[Robert]

24 and 48 it is?

 

[Fruity]

24 and 48 it is, accepted.
