Do you test these types of changes before putting them on the live server? How is one supposed to kill a cricket or rabbit when they permanently are on the run and nearly impossible to catch?

why would they test it? that's what beta testers are for.

Why? Because they should want people to actually play this game, having started a few days ago with some friends, the ability to kill crickets and rabbits has become a key aspect of our experience and growth in the game. One small patch later and as things stand now it is literally impossible for us to even enter into combat with these creatures. There is no need to test every edge case, but simple/common scenarios should and need to be tested or these types of changes will simply lead to people quitting, testing needs to be completed by everybody involved, devs, new players and veterans alike.

It was good while it lasted

so.. 75s = 10 bullets 60s = 50.kg it takes 5.kg for each shot. SO each shot is worth 13s aprox......

Two suggestions. First, aim the sling like bullrun, not like...something horrid. Second, rock bag. We need it. Even if it can only hold ten or something. Otherwise, small game hunting just took a huge nerf, and it wasn't even good in the first place unless you just started. Looks like I clawed my way up to mediocrity just in time.

60s = 0.05kg gunpowder it takes 0.005kg for each shot.

It's in the grams, not kilograms [ftfy].

for the sling, what skills are the crafting/usage tied to?

small game hunting? (which i assume is it) or is it big game hunting/beaver hunting?

just wondering for help info for newbs as i already have 99.99% of every ingame skill already :/ its hard to say its such and such skill.

also is damage going to be similar to hnh where different ammo types effects damage? (stone/bone/ect) ??

does it make 13 silver per shot any less absurd?
