Make a help popup when a bat attaches to you

Postby ericbomb » Sun Apr 12, 2015 7:12 pm

Now first off I'd like to say when I got hit by a bat, I knew exactly what to do (I have very little life and thus read the forums a lot), so I ctrl'd it and hit round house kick right after.

Anyway, I just think it'd cut down on the amount of spam we're getting in the "bugs" section for people thinking they're bugged out, when all they have is a bat stuck to their neck.

I also suggest a passive aggressive message in the help popup, such as

"But of course you already know about bats because you read the forums like a smart pilgrim, right?"

What if after someone KO's multiple times it pops up and says "You seem to be having trouble, why don't you read the forums?"

Imagine this - player get's KOed by a bat, gets this popup and goes to read the forums. In the meantime his character KO-loops like 20 times.

Well people are already doing that, I assume they log off. This just pushes them to the inevitable a little faster XD

You don't need to read the forums, just the damn manual they went out of the way to create.

I dont understand why bats are so hard for people to deal with.

Its because I generated leniency on the tinder drills and the mushroom poisoning thus ushering in an entire generation who was not picked off from the herd before advancing too far.

What we need is some sort of Chief to prune these people off.
