Reasonable idea.


Yeah. There needs to be *some* way to get away from them. Just inevitable death no matter what you do is not 'challenging' or 'dangerous', it's just bullshit; random deaths to people unlucky enough to have walruses walking towards them while they can't easily move away (or even if they can and the walrus just happens to be too fast).

Great, now that animals re-aggro you can stop softcapping them with arrows because that is the STUPIDEST MECHANIC EVER!

There are players cheesing the fucking mammoths to get full quality out of them via melee combat only and you want to punish ranged combat users by softcapping the quality for their methods and it makes no sense at all.

You can change it back now.

Fixed a bug by which it was possible to use Knarrs and boats to teleport while redhanded. What a shame :D

That doesn't make sense nor do I care about what you're trying to say, arrows soft capping animal quality is dumb and he wants players to go and "be men" instead so why have ranged at all in the first place? Why does every single change to ranged combat make it entirely worse for the people that want to use it normally? Is he going to do anything to punish the players that have killed a full quality mammoth now because I don't think so.

Goal is to be unable to cheese animal. Making you able to cheese animal with range is counter to this goal. It is very simple to understand.

But you still can? Just not with ranged combat as far as I know so why is ranged combat still absolutely terrible if it is fixed?
