Remove the quality bottleneck from arrows

Post by Nek »

With the new change to how survival works when determining butchered animal quality, I see no logical reason why arrow Q should crucify the quality of animals you kill with them. Have it just be capped by survival, like how it works with unarmed/melee.

Would it really though? The reason for the arrow cap in the first place was to stop that, but then people just switched to doing similar cheesy strats with unarmed/melee, you're just as safe as an archer when hunting as long as you know to move away to clear openings.

Archery is in a shit spot right now due to its only use being at high as fuck levels and with a rangers bow being equipped, I don't think hunting will be effected hard as long as there is still a cap in place and having survival be that cap rather than arrows seems sufficient IMO.

It would make hunting more accessible to noobs who don't know how to properly melee hunt.

We still have it, just using UA/MC instead of MM. There's effectively little difference. Buff archery vs animals by making them never turn and attack after they've been hit by ranged attack. Make it impossible to fire from boats? Dunno maybe a fix.

MM being completely useless for hunting feels pretty bad atm.

It's not like its not easy already, and I also doubt that keeping the quality makes the target stronger :roll:

Yeah it would be horrible. People would be killing animals on day 2 or 3 with slings and bows instead of on day 2 or 3 with their fists oh no

And the hunter credo bonus for arrows could be changed to surv softcap animal q instead of hardcap.

Or maybe just remove the arrow softcap in that credo bonus instead.
