Killing animals that cant fight back.

[unclean666]

fatboy dont turn this into a ddt hate thread like drevar said it has nothing to do with his hp.TBH i would rather see animals just taken out of the game then to work my butt off skilling hunting and getting my butt handed to me everytime I run into a tough animals while anyone can just walk in the game day one and kill any and everything with this weak "tactic".Btw how the hell is this a tactic its 100% zero risk that is not a tactic at all.

Xsyon stated that it is a bug, but its a valid tactic. Which basicly translates into "yeah, its an exploit but we cant enforce it."

They are saying that this is a bug and they are working on fixing it. ""this is bugged. Creatures should not stay and fight in water. We'll look into this.""

@MrDDT.
Yes I do get hit sometimes, and as you've said it takes all "skill, armor, time..." to pull something like that with a tough animal.
You can pull something like that even if you are a 1 second old as well, if you have previous experience in other similar games, take a Scyrim for example, when fighting giants, you just can't kill him by confronting head-on, you need to have some kind of tactic involved.

I really love the challenge, it is not a time for me to PVP just yet though, need to learn more about game and other people tactics, but that's another topic.

Try killing a Shadowbear using your tactics with a 1 second old char. Im willing to bet you will lose 90% of the time. Would you care to make a wager? I can supply the account if you wish.
Shadowbears kill new players in 1 maybe 2 hits. So if you mess up in your long long long fight once, you are dead. Which is how it should be. These tactics make for good gameplay and economy. However, not needing armor, good weapons, or any risk at all doesnt.

Is it even fun to kill stuff that cant fight you back and isnt risky?

hrmm missed the water part, but yea still ties into my post. ALot of us average folks use that water as a saftey net. Hell me n loki a month was doin that to a bear, guess what, he kept outruning us and we never killed him. Animals run from ya so unless ur packin heavy damages vs the big animals, the water has 0 barring in this picture. its nice for new folks to use, Doesnt mean the animals will stick around as all ofem run, and when the bear runs, he fights back, and the noob will still die, So just sayin :-P

You could loose with those 10%

Killing animal in a water is not fun but it is beneficial.
People who are looking for challenge, are against this tactic.

^^this.

It's a bug. It's not supposed to be this way. It's not going to stay this way. I'm sure they'd rather not have to deal with it in the middle of polishing other features like totem decay but... whatcha gonna do.

Easiest thing to do for the time being is say "yeah sure, valid...don't get used to it and prepare yourself for the emotional trauma when it changes..." and then they can get back to work on whatever they're focused on. Blip on the radar in the long run.


Oneeyed, sup...
Feels like kind of a different topic since this whole animal in water thing is really just a temporary fluke but...
Player interaction and cooperation is indeed awesome to have and the more the better, however, I'd really like to stress :
Anything that encourages players to work together = good.
Anything that forces players to work together = bad.
May not seem like a very important distinction but good will yield better result than bad, because bad... is dumb.
