Removed Plasmaman Stuttering

• Removed Plasmaman stuttering, no more "S-s-s-s-s-ally s-s-s-s-sells s-s-s-s-sea-s-shellssss by the sssss-s-s-sea ss-s-s-s-shore"

I guess the stutter was adding to make them seem like they're eternally in pain or something? But basically it just comes off as horribly annoying and hard to understand them at all times.

Which is probably why no one plays them.

I believe the Ss were intended to mimic the sound of plasma gas hissing. If people really want a plasmamen speech gimmick, now that skeletons are gone why not give the plasmamen ACK ACK? Plasmamen are skeletons, too. They're just made of plasma.

I'd like to think that as opposed to actually being a "race" or whatever the fuck Skellingtons lore is supposed to be, Plasmamen are just completely burnt alive, but were once human. So instead of being 2spooky for you it's more like 2horrifying4thisworld5killmeplease7everythinghurts

Still think making S-s-s-s-s become Sssss is a workable solution.

Or that amazing idea of making them randomly scream.

Ace. Also don't replace it with another wordfilter or people will continue to not play them.

yes please i've always thought wordfilters were a retarded idea

👍 I don't personally care but people have consistently cited it as a bad addition over the last 3 or 4 months.

I'm pretty sure the wordfilter isn't why people refuse to play them

Given the amount of people complaining about how annoying it is, I'd say that's probably one of the main reasons.

I know for myself that playing them is fucking annoying because no one can ever understand me because everytime i use the letter s it's sss-s-s-ss

I think that pales in comparison to dying when cloned, surgery not being possible, and having to wear the crappier plasmaman suit for everything.

Plasmaman suit is pretty good considering breathing and cold is never a problem.

But yes, the rest of the stuff is pretty shitty.

But I think this just adds to how shitty they are, so if it's removed it might make playing plasmamen a little bit more sufferable

Added Conflicts label

Not sure if these conflicts can be resolved until Nexis' Deus Ex Update is completed. Will wait til' then

tbh the word filter is fine, otherwise I'm playing a humang stuck in a RIG The suits should have slight changes based on the department; atmos having higher temperature resists, engineering having radiation shielding, sec being more robust protection, science maybe more of a bomb suit, etc.

It's been 5ever since I've looked at the code, but if you can make surgery possible through the plasmaman suit, you can just change the incision text to "suit" instead of "skin".
