Vitality - Combat and Damage Modification Patch

A personal patch that removes movement speed adjustments and nerfs endurance draining through movement.

I've always liked the endurance and combat features introduced by Vigor, but I'm personally not a fan of how it changes your movement. While this may be a big change for players who prefer more one-on-one focused combat, the way I currently set up the game is not compatible with that style of play. So I decided to make some simple straight forward modifications to better suit my playstyle and maybe others.

change

No more slowly swaying from side to side, no more walking backwards

Background: Vitality's raw moves make maneuvering nearly impossible when you've got a few highly aggressive enemies up your ass. This variation is for those who like a chaotic playstyle and enjoy fighting large hordes of enemies like me.

Stamina Rate Debuff reduced from 100% to 25% by running

Background: While I like that Vigor makes endurance a real stat, I feel like it's a little too harsh on how it punishes you through movement. If you fall below a certain threshold, your stamina is effectively depleted. This becomes very tedious for me even when you're not in combat because it affects you when you travel. Reducing the debuff to 25% will no longer drain your stamina through movement, but instead slow down your Stamina Regen. The decelerated Stamina Regen isn't turtle speed, but it's noticeable. So if it forces you to stop moving, it encourages you to pace yourself.

This still makes Stamina a valuable stat and an interesting mod. Please thank and acknowledge original author Alex9ndre for making an original and wonderful VIGOR, and be sure to check out Hazado's VIGOR MCM PATCH!

I always loved the stamina and combat features introduced by Vigor however i'm personally not a big fan of how it changes your movement. While this may be a great change for players who prefers more of a 1 on 1 focused combat, the way I currently have my game set up isn't compatible with that playstyle. So I decided to make some simple direct modifications to better suit my playstyle and maybe for others as well.

CHANGES

No longer move slower swaying side to side nor walking backwards



Context: The Vigor's original movement made it almost impossible to maneuver when you have several highly aggressive enemies on your ass at all time. This change is suited for people who prefer more of a chaotic playstyle and likes to fight against a horde of enemies like me.

Stamina Rate Debuff through running lowered from 100% to 25%

Context: While I loved that Vigor made stamina an actual stat, I felt it was a bit too harsh when it came to how it punishes you by movement. Making it so that your Stamina would actually drain if you're below a certain threshold. Even when you're not in combat this becomes very tedious for me as this affects you when you're just traveling. Lowering the Debuff to 25% will no longer drain your Stamina via movement but instead slows your Stamina Regen. The slowed Stamina Regen isn't turtle speed but it is noticeable. So rather forcing you to stop your actions it will encourage you to pace yourself.

This still makes Stamina a valuable stat and a fun mod to use. Please thank and endorse the original author Alex9ndre for making the original wonderful VIGOR and be sure to check out Hazado's VIGOR MCM PATCH as well!
