Case in point I just killed three boars in 20 minutes.

I honestly do. I've gotten screwed over by every single fucking nerf there is because the times when the LP/FEPs from them were good, I've been busy. As soon as I get to a point where I can play actively, its been nerfed.

First it was tables. I join Sodom, stock up on food. NERF.

Then it was Melee. I start recovering from my death, get to a point where melee hunting is easy. NERF

Then it was slings. I bump up my MM, start doing my sling hunting. NERF

Rangers Bows too. My MM was nearing a decent point where I would have soon been potent in PvP. NERF

Now World 3 starts on not on a weekend. I have school, finals, busy with not this game. I'm able to do a mediocre amount of hunting, not near as much as I would on a Weekend or even a normal, non-finals, week.

Weekend comes, finals over, hunting time. NERF

Thanks a bunch. Stop the nerfs in the middle of a world because, contrary to popular belief, you can catch up.


Maybe instead you should plan ahead. I would start putting all of your LP into stealth because at any moment they could Implement a new hunting technique using stealth. Then you would be miles ahead of everyone else!

tbh the lack of animals is annoying, and so is the lack of LP from said animals.

Either make animals more common or give us more lp from them, thats how i see is the best way to resolve this.

I see foxes all the damn time, sometimes boars are incredibly common too, but i don't want to risk being too far from the river on a hunting trip because if a bear or boar comes out of nowhere and KO's me i'm completely fucked. This is bad because not all the animals are ON/NEAR/WITHIN SIGHT of the river.

For example, i was killing a fox today, and when I got out to go punch it because its HP was low, the server lagged and i ended up face-to-face with a bear.

If it wasn't for my boat i'd be dead.

to sum up that loosely connected string of sentences, the server at the moment is extremely unsafe to people as the server lag, combined with scarce animals (and hunting said animals) combined with the fact that animals have murder, makes it very deadly to go hunting, in the worst case scenario.

With my luck having stealth would then decrease your characters learning ability by 20% per point in stealth.

Where you using your default client? I tried for about 1 hours to find animals and could only 1 boar using default client. The computer i was using is a netbook and lagged so much i could not use my usual exploits for killing animals. you can only see animals right by the water edge and about 30% of the area is behind tree cover. Then there is that to kill boars you need to abuse defects in the AI of animals to get kills right now.

Using modified client + hide trees you can find one ever few minutes... not with your default client.

I never complain about changes but the constant push towards farming for lp annoys me. 1 hour 40 minutes 3 boars aka 12kish lp. Sure you can find 3 in 20 minutes but chances of that are low, the main problem is hunting is not consistent where your wheat farm will be there same time every day. /rant
