Thats the random i was talking about, when it comes to dms you can never predict because they sometimes appear from the nowhere.

Althought to fix this you just had to create decent mods but with decent mods there should also be better torimodels since the game has bugs.

So IMO fix the game then think abotu Esports

For example, that aforementioned leg break can happen for many reasons.

One, getting hit previously on that joint causes it to have an reduced threshold to breaking. Like in real life, several small hits can cause the same damage that one large hit causes.

Two, momentum generated during a fight can put the joint in question under a force it's not designed to withstand. For example, a knee can break because of too much momentum from simply extending the knee because the amount of momentum generated causes the knee to extend too far, causing it to generate force on itself resulting in it breaking.

Three, there are established glitches which cause certain joints to phase, or jump, after certain movements. The most well-known one is the glute glitch, where after extending or contracting the glute, holding it cause the joint to suddenly jump in position, often resulting in a break. Even when it's not visible on ghost, it still causes some tension in the joint, which can result in a break.

Four, sometimes you just get grazed and that puts enough force to break the limb. Why? Because of basic physics. Hits hurt more if they are focused to a smaller point. That limb may have swung wildly and grazed you, but that slicing motion had a large amount of force behind it, focusing it on to a small point. Sure, some of the force was deflected away because it grazed, but it still doesn't mean it couldn't have been enough to break the limb. There's a reason why some players actually enjoy having their hands broken off, and that's because the stub that remains is PERFECT for these types of grazing blows. I've had decaps occur easily because I just graze the neck with the stub to result in the break.

Most players don't recognize these subtleties until after years of playing. Likewise, most e-sports have a depth to them most players don't understand until after years of playing. However, Toribash doesn't have the established popularity that most e-sports have to actually succeed as an e-sport. It'd be nice, but it's not likely at this point in time.
