So, I can take on the 3rd Boss, the Dragon, but he's really hard to beat without a ranged weapon, and you really need a gun to beat him. I've been traveling to planets, looking for the Pirate Ship, but no luck. It's really frustrating to get stuck behind this, because I can't progress any further in the game without a gun to kill the dragon. And the worst part is that I kill NPCs with guns and they drop swords and hammers. Really? Guns feel like they are too hard to get.
I'm fairly sure that gun availability's going to be tweaked and fixed soon. As for the bone dragon, at the moment it's possible to beat him with the right sort of arena? You want somewhere fortified where you can drop down and shoot arrows at the dragon while you're healing up, plus platformed gaps so you can quickly ascend and whack the thing in melee, then drop back down when his pesky goshdarn feetclaws wear your health down too low so you can heal, rinse and repeat.
I got a gun from a big monster... BUT IT'S BULLETS SPLIT AND FLY TO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS FFFFFFFFFFFF
You don't know how annoying that is. In the heat of a battle you don't have time to approximate the exact location 45 degrees away from a constantly moving thing.
In my opinion, this is the single most broken aspect of the game, and I've made it known on these forms before. There's absolutely no reason at all that I should be running around with a sword! I live on an interstellar spaceship! I can't be the only one who's this bothered by this! Guns not only need to be craftable, but gun merchants need to be way more common. It also wouldn't hurt to find them in chests more often.
I don't understand why guns are so rare in the first place. At least have the dungeon/village guards drop appropriate weapons so that common guns are available early on. Not only does it make more sense, but it doesn't ruin the early game concept of having low tech. Think about it: If I take a gun from a guard, does that suddenly mean I don't need primitive tools anymore? Of course not. I can't mine or chop trees with a gun. Since Bows still have the advantage of providing meat and leather, I can't think of any other reason why they are so hard to get.
I heard a good tactic is to run around on planets untill you find an anchor stuck in the ground. On the other end of the chain are space pirates that often sell guns.
Right, but I highly doubt that every gun-wielding guard in the entire universe got their's from Avian Pirates.
Mock NOT the holy Avian Pirate-Monks, dark masters of the lost science of projectile weaponry! FEAR their knowledge, for their airborne forgework RULES THE COSMOS!!!!!
I kill lots of guys who have guns and shoot at me, but apparently I chop up the gun when I kill them because they leave no gun behind, no parts, no ammo no nothing. WTFIT!
We shouldn't use sword to begin with. This is not Terraria or Minecraft. Give me Lightsabers, Chainsaws, power fists and GUNS ! Tons of guns !! It should be the main weapon everyone use!
