cause a person without every single resource in game could actually increase their damage

now a sling will do same damage as quality 1 I am guessing so in other words... ranger bow or no hunting.

wow just did 48 dmg to a level 5 boar with a Q298 sling.
so i guess i will have to go back to grinding wheat flour to get LP.
great so lets see a Aurochs has 300 hit points at a max of 60 dmg per shot and an average size herd of 6-8.......it will now take 30-40 stones to kill one herd.

Edit: opps forgot the 1 in 3 miss even with full aim bar so....40-55 stones my bad.

wow Jorb and Loftar must really hate sling hunters.

BOWS (not Ranger's) should at least be buffed from being absolute shit if this is the case. because seriously.... seriously?

I got happy with the gloves and sledgehammer, but the sling change made me die on the inside. Very sad.

this update disappointed me.

Sledgehammers are pickaxes on steroids because they're like, 40x more expensive.

Slings are now completely useless.

Ranger's Bows are weaker

Soldier's Gauntlets are expensive.

etc etc.

looks like with the weak slings the economy is taking a big blow, seeing as how everyone bought hq slings.

Most of these sound like reasonable to awesome fixes, but I do agree that nerfing slings sucks. Now I really only have one option to grind lp. Being able to switch between hunting and making flour/cooking kept things at least a little interesting.

Oh well, time to make a big ass wheat field I guess...

"until we have time to implement a more convincing fix."
This is only for now, slings were getting silly anyway only took 1 second to kill mostly every animal in the game which was just stupid. Also most animals have double the meat now which I doubt people care about as hunting was only for lp anyway
