Midges...

Postby Nexit » Sat Feb 16, 2019 4:35 am

Honestly what is the point of having midges in the game. They serve no purpose other than to give the player undeserved random injuries and are just another unnecessary obstacle for the players to deal with. The only place midges have a purpose are in swamps where they have some function. Why do we have to deal with things like these in order to play the game.

Delete midges from game.

They were meant to punish swamp campers and bots but they are basically just a hilarious and epic 9gag-tier trick implemented to make things just kind of bad and shittier under the guise of challenge or some shit and not let you afk outside your house.

I'm fine with them swarming swamps. Don't let people settle on them so they actually respawn. But there's no reason they should show up in deep forest to bother the hell out of me trying to spitroast a bat.

Midges are fine, they teach you to be grateful when you are in a place without midges.

Like any other game, for example, that does not punish you for using a spitroast, boiling clay cauldron, harvesting/replanting crops or just leveling or paving land.

As a rule of thumb, everything that makes life easyer and less boring/grinding for players is a great idea. Everything that makes the game harder is crap coming from sadistic tendencies of Jorbtar helped by the few players with the same kind of disorders.

They are the worst addition to the game and seem to be there the second I step outside or try to do anything which involves being in one spot ... think they are utterly pointless tbh ... except maybe in swamps.
