Game Development: Stop. It's Hammertime.

I find that I can, in fact, still hunt using a sling, it just takes a lot more ammo. I think we could use some new ammo containers for stones and arrows.

But i wanna be able to 2 hit a bear!!!

Hunting is my favorite part of the game. I achieve 3k, now 12k or 7k now that im full peaceful, depends on if its mouflons or aurochsens. When i read about the update and tested it out, my way of playing was lost. So I tried out a bow. Its not that bad. Just get q40+ wooden bow and q 30+ bone or stone arrows. Thats what I use. Im about to buy a q340 bow from sodom. The point is, its not hard to kill animals with as bow. I have a q40 bow, used q20 bone arrows and stone to kill a herd last night. And i had 41 MM. People whining about bows being slow: Its called a wiki. If you read, it says the quality of the bow and arrow affects your marksmanship. So clearly, you cant go into a forest and pick off a random branch and low quality bone. Hell no. Thats a bad idea. You need to
make a decent q tree and decent string quality. Once you do that, you can do this

Edit: Going to make a extremly huge wheat field to lagg the server..

Wheat does not cause any lag on the server

Oh and for the sake of new bow users, add more slots. I was seduced to putting arrows in a chest for more but I had a dead bear in the other slot. Make it like ts so the quality means something and the value raises.

Well, been doing some hunting. So far results are good. Best news: Deer- 4 guts, 10 meat. Bear- 6 guts, 18 meat.

I cooked up a q154 bow waiting for a Sodom uberbow, and using some q160ish arrows. X bears die in 2 hits... seems shots are interrupted even if defense bar isn't broken (boooo). But with decent MM you can still easily sneak shots on a bear. Luckily I have a balanced build so I'm able to take out X boars with UA alone (looking forward to my q119 knucks adding damage correctly.) Definitely trying to conserve ammo if I can.

Hunting for LP is much slower now. I'm not randomly blasting boar and fox for LP since the ammo use kills. I would carry a quiver of cheap arrows but how could I tell them apart? Hunting for meat is also much slower due to the loss of pack space. Oh god it hurts really bad. Please do something about this jorb.... ='( I don't want to just hunt the shoreline packing all those meats into a boat, there's so much open land out there begging to be hunted for meat!

It "feels" so good to hunt with a bow. I really love it. With a few more improvements I think this could really be great even though it probably won't be the LP machine it was before. I'm hoping I could actually tickle someone in random PvP with a wooden bow now, but that remains to be seen. I hate feeling like a useless chump since I can't use a RB yet.

Hehe, yeah sounds like a mess. I haven't touched q10 meat in a long time. =)

I forgot to add that the agility attack speed buff is pretty noticeable. Makes killing those boars pretty fast.

I tried to kill an X deer with a sling.

It doesn't work too well!
