Nerf Cave Anglers

[Nightdawg]

So I put my vclaim on some random land, dig some minehole, and there it is: q450 cave angler spawn, right under me. What does my enemy get? q80, cause fuck them.

Zero skill, just RNG.
Would be nice if animals didn't have quality nodes, but rather random qualities every time. Or something like (base quality + accumulated bonus from quests + the random extra quality).
Just animals

I was stupid when I said this and now I'd like to believe that I am less stupid now.
Random animal quality will just mean 1 billion corpses left all over the world, HOWEVER maybe we could have random qualities for those rare beings at least?

I mean I have checked 7 individual angler spots so far and I can't find one above q150, while some other guy has been studying q300 angler lights for who knows how many weeks now. This is bullshit, I want 15m LP and q400 bones, mulch and 1200 str from a single unfair advantage too.

I think the animal node quality range is simply too large. I'd say it should be limited between -25% and +25% of base quality. For larger differences, I'd go with giving different continents different base qualities.

I wonder if you'd be complaining here if you had q300?

Which leads to the issue that many established players don't want changes that make the game better, because they'd lose the advantage over others that they have.

reimplement shitty legacy node vandalisation

I hated that mechanic

*Me complaining*

I did complain when I had q250 angler node right under my village last world, knowing how many q70 spots were out there, and how I literally did nothing to make sure I settle right above a q250 angler pool. I guess I shouldn't complain about making a game equal for all players.
In the end it doesn't affect me since I have no chance against a big faction either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but it would be nice to at least have half of their UA so I can run to my airlock without getting KITO'd for 80% red.

The fleeing mechanic needs work to avoid hearthlings imo, I should not be able to stand at the shore waiting for the fish to swim back into my sting after he bounces off a few walls.

Who doesn't like to play pong with cave anglers ?

I'd rather just buff moose and bears up to cave angler level than nerf cave angler, it's one of my favorite things in the game, and I get excited whenever I see a new body of water underground at what quality it will be

All the people that already have their angler nodes are balling.
The rest of you can eat shit.

Fixed that for you. Our high quality mammoth supply has been going great.

250q cave angler is nice lazy str food on the side though.

[shubla]

Yea nerf them for sure, but wait a day or few until I have 10 full stockpiles of q300 scales!
