Hardcore Mode
Added 2020-11-18 05:58:15 +0000 UTCA « hardcore » mode of the game has been requested for a long time and I’d like to implement it for the next version. Hardcore would be aimed for players that mostly go to online chat rooms and want a deeper sense of helplessness when restrained.
To activate or deactivate hardcore mode, you would need to go in your preference menu and agree to a quick form that explains the details. You would be able to deactivate hardcore any time, but only activate it if you’ve been a club member for a week and if you haven’t deactivated it in the last week. So if you opt-out of hardcore, you’ll need to wait for 7 days before activating it again.
Hardcore mode would be visible in your character profile with the number of days since you went hardcore. This data would be managed on the server side to prevent cheating.
These are the changes that could be applied for accounts that are on hardcore mode. Let me know if you think some of them are too intense or if we need to add more.
- No rescue maid.
- No safeword.
- No chastity removal by the club management Mistresses.
- No blocked items. (Maybe allow blocking some items like combo locks.)
- If using arousal, force the locked version. (Not sure about this one.)
- Can break trials but cannot leave your owner from the club management Mistresses.
- Force drag to the owner room when beeped. (Not sure about his one.)
- Force some immersion settings. (Which settings should be forced?)
This means that a hardcore submissive will not be able to ever leave her owner or get out of owner locks without her Mistress help. The submissive is a full slave.
Do you like the idea? Thanks for your input. Stay kinky!

The only thing I think that would need adjusting is blocked items. I'm heavily against certain fetishes and there's items that I absolutely don't like associated with them. I feel like, despite what a master/slave relationship is, Having the option to turn off devices that just don't appeal to the player is a must. What I'd do though, is limit it so that you cannot turn off more than, say, 25% of the devices in an area, if that's possible. I'm mostly for this because, although slaves don't get to pick, it is a game, and I, for one, feel like I should have some say if I don't like certain items or devices, even if I want to be as helpless as possible.

If you play hardcore, there's no toggle, you're a full slave. Yes, immersion could be total for sure. And yes, the player owner can still enforce extra rules for keys or remotes of course. Thanks for the input!

2020-11-18 14:51:50 +0000 UTCI'm glad you like the concept. Auto-rejoining room would be create, but it opens the door for trolling. For blocked items I'm not sure yet. Does an actual slave can choose which restrain is allowed or not? Not sure about the arousal either, I'll think about it. Counters are a good idea in general, maybe in a future version. Thanks!

2020-11-18 14:45:43 +0000 UTCThanks for all the suggestions, I will remember these. I'm not sure about blocked items, if you're an hardcore slave do you really have a say on what can be used on you or not? Forcing the return to a room is a great idea but since there are trolls out there, players could get stuck in a very bad situation. Cheers!

2020-11-18 14:45:22 +0000 UTCI'm not sure what you mean there. "No blocked items" means that the submissive cannot choose which items are blocked on her or not, there won't be any permission screen for that.

2020-11-18 14:41:08 +0000 UTCI love the idea of a hardcore mode. Here are a few of my thoughts on that: If Hardcore is deactivated, you have to wait 1 hour until it is deactivated. During this time you can activate it again if you have changed your mind. You can only activate the hardcore mode after a week at the earliest (maybe even longer). How about if you add the settings that the mistress can activate. For example, whether you can have keys or use the remote controls. So the mistress could individually determine whether you can use the saveword or whether you can block items and, if so, for when you can block items. I also think it's good not to be able to leave the mistress in hardcore mode. I would be immersion settings for: Total (but with permitted whispers, which can also be forbidden by the mistress), "Disable examining people when blind" active, "Keep all of your restrains when relogging" active and "Prevent Out-Of-Character chat while gagged “inactive. In addition, in hardcore mode, the mistress can take away the “Mistress Padlock Key” if you have access to it. For everyone who thinks this is going too far: Remember that you can turn on the hardcore mode voluntarily and turn it off again.

2020-11-18 13:51:38 +0000 UTCA kopeika for your thoughts: - No rescue maid, no safeword, no access to the club management Mistresses while Hardcore is engaged, also force drag to the owner room when beeped: these sound like something a Hardcore-seeking person will enjoy. I would really like curse's functionality being adopted by Hardcore mode. - Auto-rejoining the room where the Hardcore character logged out of would be awesome, particularly if it worked in the Asylum as well. Such characters shouldn't wake up in their asylum "home" wearing only pajamas and straitjacket after being confined in an asylum room, right? - blocked items need to stay blocked in Hardcore, because squicks need to be addressed. You are trying to create fun, not ragequits. - opting out of Hardcore giving a 7 day cooldown sounds about right. No shorter than that, though. - Forcing the locked version of arousal is not necessary. Perhaps, allow the owner to change arousal settings? Simply asking the subbie to go to the other setting should be enough. - A general improvement: include a static counter for non-chatroom stuff. e.g. tracking the number of each jobs done, orgasms had or orgasms resisted. Of particular interest is number of therapies done for asylum play. Let this information be visible to the owner. Ona a related note, perhaps the owner could view and add asylum time.

2020-11-18 10:59:22 +0000 UTCHey Ben. Now, when the Hardcore topic is, at last, discussed, I arrive! Hihihi Saying honestly, the curse gives me all or almost all hardcore settings I would like to see in the game, but if some of these things will be implemented from the game side instead of a game extension, I believe it would be great! About your ideas, my personal simple opinion is that I would extend the period during which you can't activate the Hardcore mod again after turning it off, to 3 or 4 weeks so that people didn't abuse the turning off button. Otherwise, it is not Hardcore. Also, the possibility to block items SHOULD exist anyway! I like the club very much, I met a few wonderful people here and have a lot of fun, but some of the items... I just do not like the way they look and some, I find fully inappropriate for me. It is a matter of tastes and limits and I believe it doesn't need to take away from me. About "Force drag to the owner room when beeped". It is implemented in Ace's curse and a very useful thing I believe. 3 times beep and you are dragged to your owner's room. From the immersions, I would like to see in the game, that is certainly 1) Garbled text when someone whispers to you while you have earplugs on. (In the current moment this immerse option does not work for me.) 2) Garbled names and text when someone whispers to you while you have earplugs and blindfold on. (Again, the Total (no whisper) sensory deprivation setting does not work for me right now so maybe this idea is already about to be true ) 3) Impossibility to whisper while you are gagged. 4) Forced returning to the room while you can't walk or the room is locked even if the room does not exist anymore. Well, I have a feeling that is something that 99% of hardcore players would like to see. So that your account has been always remembering in which room you were before leaving the game last time and was returning you to this room if you can't walk freely. If this room is full or it does not exist anymore, the room automatically creates, having the same owner, the same name, description, and all other settings. I don't know how hard it would be to code it and how many spam it will make to the server given that in this way there will be a lot of rooms with only one person in it, who is locked there after being played, but isn't it the way the real club would look like? Isn't it nice to give your owner an opportunity to just lock the room so that you couldn't leave it?
2020-11-18 08:37:13 +0000 UTCgood idea except "No blocked items". only the mistress must have access to everything, for the others, the blocked elements must remain so.
