Fix for Mining Combat Encounters

Post by Ardennesss »

Simple, disable the weapon swap cooldown if the combat encounter was triggered by a mining event. The worst part of spawning 15 slimes is having to swap weapons and run around until you can actually defend yourself. Thx

Initial equipping a weapon at start of combat should have no cooldown anyway, I have no idea how they came up with what they torture us currently...

Let's not get greedy now.. But I agree. I understand the need for the weapon swap cooldown but I can't see a situation in the first 5-10 seconds of any combat encounter where swapping weapons gives anyone a gigantic advantage.

I would appreciate more fluid switching to sword+shield from pickaxe.

Revolutionaries should suffer the consequences of their actions....
digging through the social orders should have its consequences.
Punish those who would rupture the social fabrique.
“We still, alas, cannot forestall it-
This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”

Or make pickaxe a weapon.

I think one switch without cooldown before any action is used would be better.
Give a man a game engine and he delivers a game. Teach a man how to make a game engine and he never delivers anything.

pickaxes should most definitely be weapons but should instead use masonry for combat weight with no armor pierce and good damage. ofc for the dwarven way

just have no defensive maneuvers that use masonry and it'll be like another version of b12/ua
