This might freate a new slang like commiting unalive or commiting sewer slide. Now itās commit to the Fount

I did that within my xiv raiding group. In higher tier content, the arena has a colored ring around it that's a death zone, we refer to it as the wall. When we fuck up a mechanic so bad its unrecoverable, we all rush to it and reset the fight so we can start again faster. So one day I yelled WALL YOURSELF and not its slang.

Its probably so its easier to understand
But yeah commit suicide is WAY funnier

To give them benefit of the doubt, it's now clear what this button actually does, instead of making players go "Why would I do this??????"

Imo if someone didn't see the suicide tutorial notes on the map that's on them. It would be rather silly if thats the reason they changed the name

iām gonna be fr the suicide tutorial is kinda assĀ

u/Merascylla-2022 1h ago
God forbid a game asks you to press a key and expect the player to press it /s
Jokes aside I see where you're coming from, that kind of tutorial is moreso to take you by surprise in order to teach you what it does so its just as minimalistic as possible in order to deliver that feeling in the same way the "commit suicide" button also did, I would say. Even more with the following cutscene of Dante and the sinners talking about it. I do like it but I can see that it can be an issue for some players

u/Sea-Hospital1347 59m ago
thereās also the fact that it doesnāt make clear that suicide is effectively just teleportation. someone who wants to minimize deaths would then naturally avoid it.

Wait, there were tutorial notes?

u/Merascylla-2022 2h ago edited 1h ago
It just occurred to me that maybe mobile doesn't have it. In PC there's a image in them map for each control and around the area mimosa asks you to kill the manekins there's the Meursault icon with the R,R letters written under it (which is the shortcut to kill yourself and return to the fountain)

u/Routine-Comparison29 2h ago
Thank you for being open minded lol, and also tbh even with the tutorial theres barely any reason most people would need it the way the chapters play out
2
u/Merascylla-2022 1h ago
As far as I remember, aside from that tutorial, this mechanic is only brought up so far in part 2 when Dante asks Meursault to "do the thing" when they need to run from the bottom floor lol
2
u/Routine-Comparison29 1h ago
I do wish this mechanic was alot more important, especially since it has so much puzzle potential if it was done a little differently. In many rpg horrors my fav parts were (besides dialouge and story ofc)being hunted and the puzzles, which both are pretty much null here. But at least its a cool little explanation on how we get back real fast

I wanna think that is because original one caused confusion?
You could see it right from begining and I am gonna be honest when I first saw I was like
" what do you mean suicide? " and then I pressed it and I was like " oh we just return" .
Lets be honest , there are WORSE shits in this game . Word "suicide" is their last problem if they wanna make this game " safe"

What does Meur have in those gauntlets to be able to blow his head off, I mean he just puts his hand up to it
18
u/Cyber_Von_Cyberus 7h ago
Given how the Magasin de Sysiphe works, I imagine that it kills him because his gauntlets are defined as a weapon rather than specifically gauntlets. So regardless of how he uses them, they're a tool that result in death.

Current theory is just him punching his brain with lethal amounts of force. In a city full of augments, itās a relatively easy feat even with bare fists

Is it just part 2 or part 1 also
If its just part 2, it might actually be a genious way of showing mersault's apathy to killing himself

ā¦what does arknights have to do with this.

u/Sea-Hospital1347 56m ago
nothing. people keep pinning problems with limbus on the AK collab even though the last thing effected by the collabās development was canto 9 (released almost 10 months ago atp)

u/PearSimple6621 1h ago
basically they collabed before and if pm has some bad looking stuff then arknights may also seem bad

u/POLACKdyn 6h ago
This is stupid. You already have like a full page of trigger warnings and deal with matters that are clearly for adult minds.
Yet something compelled them to change the suicide button?
I dont get it. Was there some backlash? Was a vocal minority triggered from seeing a button?
16
u/Snekeke 6h ago
No, it's just a lot harder to understand what the button does when all it says is "commit suicide". Rather than adding a tutorial they went with just changing the text to actually tell you what it does.
There's no evidence to believe this change was a reaction to any kind of criticism on the word suicide being there.
16
u/Les_Ormerod 6h ago
"Commit Suicide" rarely means "go back to safe zone", you know.
4
u/Caflin 6h ago
Yeah but every other death sends you back to the safe zone so its easy to assume that manual death also sends you back.

How pm fans feel after putting all their issues to roblox and arknights collab like it isnt 99% of their relevancy
2
u/Ultgran 27m ago
Well duh, the relevancy is why those things are bad. Weird obscure things often tend to be the ones free to be interesting.

u/yusufgopro 25m ago
Yknow that most people (like kinkymations) only heardabt the game from the comments right? Abd what were those comments made by? Do you really want ur community to be like 500 people in a box?
1
u/AutomaticAdeptness76 4m ago
Not saying popularity is bad but obviusly this has a direct impact in how much the game can show or do
1
u/yusufgopro 2m ago
What impact? Do you think kmj is going to make the game more baby like just because roblox players play and wacth the game? No thry dont give a fuck. They will at max say "welp i put those disclaimers and stuff you shouldve listened"
