My main complaint with the current build and previous ones, are how random and annoying Thorns AI is. Sometimes she just rushes you down, others she'll stop when stared at. On top of that, she is INSANELY fast. I get that this is a horror game and she's supposed to chase you, but she's inescapable, and if she doesn't stop when stared at, it's a guaranteed game over. At the very least, make her slightly slower than the sprint and add in a stamina bar. 

She has a messing mechanic. If she needs a change, she will charge you aggressively. Just press 'E' when next to her. It's still risky, but it puts her back into the weeping angel type behavior where she stops when you are looking at her.

Yup. I am thinking about slightly rewarding the player to offset if thorn gets one hit in during that

Yeah, she is getting nerfed across the board. I am slowing her down, making her hit less hard and making her completely ease off once you stare her down for a few seconds rather then forcing the player to ease off themselves while looking at her. I am keeping her difficult but she is considered over kill right now.

   I personally don't find her too too hard. I agree she could use a bit of a nerf, but the only thing that really bothered me with her so far is that sometimes she will have another accident right after you change her.

   I had her in her aggressive mode chasing me, so I let her get close enough to change her. Then I was only able to back a few paces away before she had an accident again and resumed chasing me. So, perhaps a delay should be added that prevents her from messing right after she is changed? Either way, it's still an interesting experience.

Yeah I plan on keeping her difficult but she does have some rough corners that need to be shaved. The accident system currently allows cultists to mess and wet a 2nd time zthe tldr means there are 2 counters at around 3 to 4 minutes that are always counting down and can over lap like you experienced. 


The aggro when she needs a change is a recent addition when I found her too easy and predictable and that issue is an easy enough fix for the next patch.
