Barotrauma Dev Tracker

I wouldn't actually consider it that huge: most of the text-only events have been expanded so the things the event describes "actually happen" (e.g. you actually see an NPC spray-painting a wall, or can see Mike the Idiot as an actual NPC sitting in the crew quarters), but gameplay-wise there's been no major changes or new events. Regardless, I still think it's a nice little improvement that makes the events a bit more immersive. :)

I'm very glad to see that people get the point of the diving suit changes! We know this is going to be a contentious change, and have already gotten a lot of negative feedback about it (as always, when it comes to any kind of nerfing), but we feel it was necessary and long overdue: the way I see it, if there's practically no downside to always wearing a suit, that in a sense removes the entire pressure mechanic from the game, and means you're basically forced to always wear one because not doing so just makes you more vulnerable for no good reason.

You're probably thinking of the setting that controls how much skills you lose when you die. Reaper's Tax was an additional penalty on top of that when you opt to respawn mid-round instead of waiting for the next round, which has now been replaced with this adjustable setting.

That's cheating though, Honkmother loves you more if you do it while it's alive

It's been replaced with a slider that lets the server host choose how much skill gains you lose when you opt to respawn mid-round. So, it's up to you: you can disable the penalty entirely if you want to, or crank it all the way to 100% if you're looking for a more punishing experience. :)

Gj! That's more than I have. :D
