Game Development: Crystal Patch

[Zephroze]

I was able to extend my claim no problem.

Changes with animals so far have been worthless. So they run when they can't reach me. I've played an MMO or two. I just get closer to lure it back. When it's low HP and runs, I use re-aggro feature.

This made solo hunting take like 30 seconds longer, and group hunting annoying as fuck. Bad change.

Now, you're making more changes and not even listing them! Somebody told me you can't tame in your own plot now. I sure hope this isn't the case.

I want PVE to be good but the changes you're making aren't good. Revert and try something else.

Yea looks like a shadowpatch to animal AI. Mammoths (and likely other critters) wont walk through an open pally gate. They bounce off so no more mammoth trapping. People who already got their mammoth guards better keep em because looks like its a dog pile with steel armor for em now.

It's gonna be so funny if it turns out the whole animal ai change with claims is just bcs loftar wanted them to bounce off brodgars claim and accidentally did it for all the claims.

Guess we'll find out in 4 weeks when he reads the forums again.

After testing my traps, and trying to lure animals.
The shadow patch to animals is they no longer enter claims.
This kills my whale trap, mammoth trap, slime traps, cave louse traps, trap traps, ect traps that I had to take 10 mins to redesign them.
I don't say this in a joking manner

(this pic render like shit because my service that host my image is down...)

Also another shadowpatch surprise, animals will hit you through building doors and caves now and/or reduce their openings.

I think the shadow patch to animal AI so they attack through caves and can't be trapped in claims or enter gates is possibly the worst change this game has ever seen, and has likely just killed the game.

This makes taming virtually impossible for anybody but the largest groups since most people will run around and agro random animals they see tied up unclaimed. Anybody joining W16.2 from this point or any future world is fucked basically.

Haven't tested bow nerf but if true that they take reduced damage then hunting has been completely removed from anybody not in a 6+ size group, they will likely never kill a bear, a mammoth, an angler. You've made hunting big game unaccessible to hermits and more casual players.

Youre literally removing the fun from your game, this is garbage.

Just what the hell with shadow patch to animals and their pathfinding, they cannot enter pc now, for real, wtf... God fk damn...
Can I get a refund please?

[WowGain]

genuinely what is the intention with animal AI
like what are you trying to work toward with this because it makes no sense

Maybe a bit exaggerating here but basically yes, hunting will be garbage for the vast majority of players, especially early world.
