New archery formulas

[azrid]

I like the new archery. Before you could just kill q200 bear and jump bone saw quality quick.
There is some progression now to killing animals.
And why wouldn't a thousand arrows ruin the quality of the pelt?

IMO animals should swim and climb too.

IMO animals should swim and climb too.

And build groups, raid player camps, kill, and prevent any building

Thing is... all these changes do is cause hunting to be exploits of boat punching instead of boat shooting?

[azrid]

boat punching instead of boat shooting

I see this as a problem too. And the step forward would be to make animals swim.
The easy way out and a step backward would be to bring back bow cheesing where you shoot q200 bear safely from your boat and get high q bone in hours with fresh character.

I don't see why low level archery shouldn't be perfectly viable to hunt animals with, what is with this desire to have animals be near impossible to kill without groups of people and trivial once you've grinded your stats sufficiently


bow hunting should be an easy affair, wrestling a moose or bear in hand to hand combat, not so much.

thats why you shoot them in the heart and not the antlers

Because actual trapping should be an easy way to hunt animals.

You're not though, you're just smashing them with a sword on a horse. People didn't used to do this to kill animals, they used ranged projectiles.

Not being able to hunt animals with a bow and arrow is really unrealistic. Maybe hunting mammoths (thick hides) and trolls with bow and arrows could remain pointless, but other animals should be huntable.

Besides, if you make river blocking/cliff blocking not work, then a lot of archery cheese becomes irrelevant. Some of the more creative melee cheese I've seen will still work perfectly though .

its good as it is honestly
