Important BETA RELEASE DISCUSSION - DECEMBER 4TH (*ALL* beta discussion goes here. Other threads deleted)

I imagine there are grocers in NPC villages, so it's possible you could also just buy food from NPCs. Still think more weapons should be able to gather meat though.

 

I wonder if they made it the trait of bows just to justify keeping them around in later tiers? Guns/weaklasers and just about any scifi weapon would out do a bow for food gathering. Yet people probably would expect them to be in game after Terraria, even when just about anything else would be a better ranged weapon for it.

 

Pretty much. I do hope Chucklefish makes bows a bit useful though and not for food gathering.

I'm going to mod in harvester rays if you can only use bows .

 

From what I understand KAG is a more pvp-centric Terraria.
I own Hammerwatch, its an old-school Gauntlet Clone with more depth, with about the same level of difficulty.

 

In a world full of laser cannons and hyper-beam-gatling-grenades it takes a real badass to look at all the technological advancement and think "Man, fuck technology, I can just use a piece of wood and some string and be just as effective" and then proceed to be more effective.

Technological evolution? Fuck it, bows.

EDIT: Thinking about it, it would be sweet to have hyper-beam-gatling-grenades. If these aren't in the beta I'll be sorely disappointed, Chucklefish, make it happen!

 

I have KAG and if you enter it thinking its Terraria you will get wrecked. Its not.

Its more of a PVP focused building/combat game. And there is some physics involved like supports so your towers wont fall down.

Anyways sorry for interrupting .

 

Thanks for explaining pretty much what I meant.

 

"From what I understand KAG is a more pvp-centric Terraria."

Not really.

 

Get with the times! Crysis 3 proved that bows are superior to guns 9 months ago!

 

I'm not sure fragmentation arrows would be practical for hunting though .

 

Instant stew beef not good enough for ya'?

 

Of course they would be practical for hunting! It would kill, cook, and prepare the meat instantly! You would just need to pick out shrapnel from the bits you manage to find, though...

Edit:Woah that quoted weird.

 

I wish I knew explosions cook food. This would make my home life so interesting .

 

The problem is it wouldn't be cooked well. You would have partially cooked bits of meat scattered everywhere.

Perfectly edible!

Edit:I won't fix it this time. Quote--You win!

 

I think shock arrows would be better for cooking .

 

Oh, but they can

Edit: Image spoilered because huge

 

You know how people talk about the "Nuclear Option"? This is what they're referencing. Definitely. It can't be anything but this.

 

5 days...

 

dame i have mist all the fun. i think a best system would be to have a % chance of meat dropping based on the weapon tip so lets say hunting bow 90% B.F.G 20% tactical nuke 0.5% and so on.

ofc beta feedback will help them sort this stuff out. its not just about bugs its abut game play too

 

Tactical nuke...........

Anyways good idea .
