Announcements of major changes to Salem.

We are currently modeling new mobs that are similar to the march-hare but for other animals.

As for bunny/crickets. I'd rather see the bug/cricket get toned down, as nobody fully expects for a cricket to knock them unconscious. Once a player can then successfully kill something, I'm then a lot more inclined to ramp up bunnies just a tad so they can still get that "holy crap this game is hard" early experience. My reason for wanting crickets as the entry-level critter is also because they have the smaller reward. A bunny provides meat, skins, etc, whereas, a cricket is very limited in what he unlocks by comparison.

Crickets = Silver. That's not that limiting.

Besides all of that, it is also more logic. Would a cricket win a fight against a bunny in reality?

A cricket the size of a bunny probably would.

Remember, these are Warbite crickets. Or is that supposed to be an oxymoron?

Pretty sure that's just to make them visible, seeing as they still are pretty weak.

Sorry if someone mentioned this haven't read every post but are you guys looking at different aggro mechanics for animals instead of the throw a stone at it to piss the animal off else its a coward that we have currently? I understand rabbits and deer running away, bears are generally aggressive (still feels dumb the bear runs away from me until it roars) and crickets well no idea id rather see giant ants tbh they'd be scarier and moving in armies.

Re: A Brave New Salem: combat is horrid

Postby cryptfilter » Fri Jun 13, 2014 2:06 am

how are you going to tackle the horrible combat system currently in place. I primarily just build stuff and gather because fighting is just way too clunky and horrid
