JESUS MOTHERFUCKING ARROWS PLEASE JORB LORFAT HELP HALP HELG

[Sotsa]

after the update i decided to try hunting with arrows, and a wood bow. After stealing some arrows and a quiver from a dead neighbour, i decided to give my shiny new bow a try. I figured the 7 slightly hq arrows i had in my quiver would be enough to kill some fuckers and get more arrows.

However.

Upon encountering my first herd of aurochsen, and noting with some pleasure that the wood bow would kill a herd of aurochsen 1 shot for each animal, i also noted to my displeasure that most of my arrows simply disintegrated at hitting an animal. After killing my herd of aurochsen i started making some arrows. Of course, these arrows were q10, but i now had 17 of them. woo.

bummmmmmmmmer! i have never used a bow since my noob days, since i always used melee or UA for pvp. shitty arrows takes ages to aim with.

So i now had to empty my quiver of shitty arrows to replace them with better ones. problem is, there is no 'empty' command with quivers, which is pretty gay. In addition, i can no longer spam shoot my arrows at some poor fucking fox, because i now need 10% aim bar to actually let go of the arrow. which is also pretty gay jesus fuck.

(note that the above takes some time with shitty arrows, aiming to 10% that is.)



so i have some suggestions that may or may not solve the problem or make it more bearable, but ehre they are.

MAKE ARROWS IMMORTAL
or
let me always recover the arrow head.
and
give me an empty command from the quiver
and
fucking quiver in belt slot


thanks woopwop

MAKE ARROWS IMMORTAL

Meh... I would definetly finally be arsed to pick the ammo up (who the hell bothered picking up rocks for the sluing if you have a pickaxe in your inventory?) but it'd be a bit overpowered/imbalanced.

So that'll be a no.

let me always recover the arrow head.

Almost same as above. <50% chance would be better suited.

give me an empty command from the quiver

Yes, yes, yes.

fucking quiver in belt slot

This is given.

Do. It. Already.

why would immortal arrows be overpowered/imbalanced? it's not like it's game breaking, you wouldn't hunt faster than with a sling anyways, and those simply made hunting about as lucrative lp-wise as farming was, which doesn't sound like 'broken mechanics' as jorb or someone stated. Sure it was wierd that slings were better than bows, but it was hardly overpowered just 'misplaced' somehow.

I think after the sling nerf bows should be made about as convenient as slings were, or atleast less of a hassle than now. OR nerf farming lp so i could hunt like this ANYWAY without thinking that bluah bluah i should be farming because i have skills to push.

+1 Let us repair them atleast ..

[Jackard]

some games just removed ammunition altogether, sometimes in favor of repairing the weapon

you could do the same thing with the quiver here. rely on its quality instead of arrows, take arrows out entirely, add a durability to the quiver if you really want ammunition management



basically, individual ammo items arent really a thing worth keeping

[Sotsa]

Maybe.
But I kinda like the idea that you can bring a couple of extra hq arrows for bears/random encounters with baddies, and use less expensive/hard to make arrows for all of the animals.

[Jackard]

bring a higher quality quiver with a fresh dura, obviously.

edit: you know this wasnt exactly difficult to imagine

[Sotsa]

I get what you're saying but there's a part of me that takes great pleasure in 'of course, I have to refill my quiver with carefully crafter arrows, and maybe bring these too, just in case.' and at this point, jackard, the shitstorm really starts between the two of us because I know we have different opinions on inventory management as a mechanic.

Plus, if they ever add poisons with debuffs, it would be cool to be able to dip individual arrows in it.

[Jackard]

either your dude gets a temporary poison attack buff
or you apply the poison to the quiver





what has changed here? nothing but aesthetics. there is no animation for any of this, but you are somehow unable to picture him doing it my way?

[Sotsa]

and the delightful act of sorting through inventory and managing it in the delightful way that comes with 'inventory tetris' but i won't go there
