No I wouldn't destroy you, your icon is too cute. I had a baby deer in my front yard today I got about 10' to it. Super cute, maybe 2' tall. I thought it was a runaway wiener dog or something at first glance out the window and couldn't believe a fawn was in my yard. It was like chocolate brown with little white dots, the grown deer we see all the time are tan.
This only happens with guns, though. With a bow (or even a crossbow), you can basically kill things from afar very safely and quietly, without having to worry about them suddenly increasing their speed - or at least not worry as much as you would if you were melee. In other words, you have a very large margin of error, and the only "con" is that you may be limited on ammo, if you haven't been farming.
Definitely, as well as the other gains.
I like those better. More modern than the standard +
No. It has nothing to do with minmax and everything to do with lumping non combat perks with a specific combat style. And no, mother lode does not make any sense in strength - swinging harder is not going to result in more usable resource - realistically it will likely yield less. Mother lode would belong in perception if we are going for putting it 'where it belongs.' Of course, that would be a terrible decision in game play terms - splitting up the mining perks in 2 categories.
I think this is what most players expect - I know it is what I expected.
It's not about how often you miss, at least not directly. It's probably best to show rather than just tell.
Missing due to the weapon's built-in inaccuracy basically means RNG decides whether you succeed or fail. Yeah, games do it all the time, but more for regular projectiles you don’t have to retrieve. I think it’d be cooler if the spear were a decent melee weapon without perks, and then you get a perk that enables spear throwing. To put it differently, I like 'chunky' perks that change how you play in more fundamental ways, more than granular perks that increment stats.
Still rarely if EVER...use guns in 7DtD...just like most games , just like real life...I prefer unarmed or melee...working as a private security/bodyguard for 23 almost 24 years...just retired in April at the ripe old age of 45...almost all of my incident reports were with my bare hands or some type of melee weapon...Just a preference . Even though , as in game...I have a ♥♥♥♥ ton of guns! which I enjoy shooting...I just don't count on them...
Point taken. I was thinking more about firearms... I guess I’ll have to get used to thinking of the 9 mm pistol as the ‘stone age’ sidearm.
And that’s fine... we can have a philosophical debate about whether the master crafter is a 'snob' that demands the very best for raw materials, or whether the master crafter is a 'visionary' that sees how to work with even the most basic materials and turn them into refined works of art. What I'd want to avoid is more like, the master chef’s pantry is nearly empty, but he can’t make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches anymore for some reason.
I would love to see separate iron boulders, lead boulders, coal boulders, etc., where they all have stone but each one only drops one other mineral. I feel getting a trace of iron AND nitrate AND coal AND lead from every boulder just clutters the inventory with small quantities that aren’t useful for what you were mining the boulder for in the first place.
It has to go somewhere, and strength makes the most sense because pickaxes and augers take a lot of strength to wield IRL. Most of the perks have nothing to do with combat so what makes mining a special snowflake that doesn't fit? 999% of players will just buy strength and accept it and not think another thing about it. You can't be weak and mine IRL.
You know I love to use a fireaxe in the game....You know your avatar looks like the Good Intentions Axe Murderer, right?
We could diminish effectiveness probably pretty easy, but why should food be complicated. Its just food, people have better things to do like build forts, gather mats, mine, do quests, loot, trade, etc.
