Game Mechanics Health Regen

Idk if this has been said anywhere but I'm going to make it anyway just to resurface this issue
Also I'll be posting this exact text on both the forums and discord so hi there to both of you

The modern Mana Regen triggering every like half a second or so is cool and all but why does Health Regen still take like a full five seconds? Is there a non Dev-Time gameplay design decision reason to keep this or is this also planned on being split like its mana ID counterpart?

Idk maybe I just really don't like the long pauses inbetween the bursts of health it feels very... empty



PZ is not a valid argument shush

 

hpr only regenning your health every 5s is not intuitive, which I think should be prioritized over any balancing reasons like "it makes you die much easier" which btw, is an argument to hpr numbers being broken more than anything

 

Then it should be clarified that Regen ticks every 5 seconds

 

still unintuitive

 

I'm glad someone is bringing this up because I've always had a problem with the way regen works, especially when game so heavily implies that health regen and mana regen are meant to be sister statistics so the fact that they behave differently is silly, and it's not like constant health regen is impossible for the game to utilize because Paladins literally have it as a passive for 30 seconds after taking any damage.

 

It’s funny how people on the forums thread and people on discord thread have such wildly different opinions

 

I made a similar post a while back:

I think its like this for game balance
reasons so enemies can get more hits in between heal pulses so the player is easier to kill

 

Its not that we can't do it, it's that we don't want to. One of the reasons Regen ticks every few seconds instead of constantly is to make it so mobs are able to pose a threat. Consider if your 5 thousand health you would get every 5 seconds was instead 1 thousand every second, that means that for you to die, you'd need to take more than a thousand damage in a second to counteract the regeneration. Having it put on a larger delay makes it easier for mobs to chip in their damage without reducing your health gain.

Regen should be clarified in game so that the fact that it isn't a constant rate is easily accessible knowledge to the player

 

w guess
