Ransurias 36 Posted January 4, 2019 Loving many of these changes! Fire arrows needed to be toned down, and being able to grief other players by offline raiding their ships with pickaxes and hatchets was frustrating to say the least. This new round of patches is a massive step in the right direction. Thanks a ton! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellentro 107 Posted January 4, 2019 Yes. Nerf Flame arrows and make plate armor literally unkillable until monday, while making this Alpha elephant require 45 bows to kill. Good changes xD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good changes xD. Taking a regular elephant down with a bow would be quite the accomplishment. And Alpha-anything is supposed to be super difficult! I was always surprised that my bows never seemed to take any damage and seemed to last forever. Right now bows in general are maybe a little OP though. There's little advantage to switching to guns (which take forever to reload, carbines can't be used in water, etc), so this is just added incentive to make the switch (and encouraging progression is always a good thing) 1 minute ago, UDO said: it is game gets better daily , all those negative players that slated the game at start dont understand what EA means Hahaha, right? It's crazy what a little patience will get you! I think some of those negative players would have found anything to complain about though. There's just no pleasing some people (especially if they're just naturally miserable people) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They acknowledged that and are going to buff them (On Monday), but that leaves the question of why are they pushing a nerf to literally all aspects of the game (IE Nerfing bows) over an issue solved by buffing fire arms so it doesn't take 180 shots from a pistol to kill an alpha chicken.

Hackjob 57 Posted January 4, 2019 i would wait to see how the nerf is , its just the impact of arrow that was reduced and some fire damage . It was already 1-3 fire arrows to kill and alpha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fire arrows are undeniably over powered compared to every other option currently in the game. Try digging up a treasure chest with each of the weapons and you'll find fire arrows are MUCH easier than literally every other option, whether it's in a group or solo. A low level recipe shouldn't be waaaaay more powerful than firearms which take significantly more skill points to unlock. (That's not to say that guns don't also need a buff, though! They do! Blunderbus = trash) And you're looking at alpha chickens all wrong... you gain exp for each shot you take at it. So next time, use a regular bow, put a hundred or more arrows into it, and start raking in the levels! (I wouldn't suggest this with something like an Alpha wolf though! Haha) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't disagree with nerfing them, but nerfing them before buffing firearms to be a usable alternative is awful. As it stands you probably are better off pickaxing something to death then using a gun. Edited January 4, 2019 by Ellentro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linea 80 Posted January 4, 2019 i wonder where will the territory taxes go? will they add a new chest for it or will they drop into the owners inventory, sinking its ship? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Territory taxes are already in the game. You can set them via the placable/craftable Tax bank. Items harvested in your claimed region with a tax bank active will have a tax you set (0 to 30%) placed automatically in the bank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ucan_Kizmiaz 54 Posted January 4, 2019 ok, nerfed arrow flame arrows and bows on top. what about borged hitboxes ? it would make perfect sense if your nerfed arrows in the end would do the damage they're intented to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
