Ninja role fails to communicate limitations and usage of abilities #20839

Open AJimmyU opened 1 year ago

Description

Ninja spawns with a sidebar filled to the brim with abilities that have very little description on how to use them. Ninja spawns suffocating, having to fiddle and rearrange their sidebar only to figure out how to breathe. Ninja glove stun mechanic is not user friendly, refuses to work on harm intent punches and doesn't explain how it's supposed to be used. Ninja can't use any guns, yet this is not communicated to the player in any way until a gun is attempted to be used- usually in a combat situation resulting in a failure state due to no fault of the ninja player, but obscured limitations. Ninja is supposed to be stealth, yet the cloak field and katana sounds are easily recognized on sight/hearing by any veteran player as a ninja, across long distances. Ninja has no source of light and can't see in the darkness.

Reproduction

  1. Play ninja
