Development Roadmap

[Dallane]

I get your point. But I don't think our devs dispose of the necessary instruments to implement that thing.

Not true.

Jorb and loftar hate range combat. No idea about the current devs

[Nektaris]

If they do I'd really like to have it implemented.

Time to put an "X" on PVP Arson

[JohnCarver]

Yes. I'll try to update this soon.

[KruskDaMangled]

We could actually have more in the way of Muskets and stuff and still have them be in a way, "Scrubby".

Mostly because real Muskets are wildly inaccurate at any real distance and you could reasonably have something that gave you a small chance to hit the enemy regardless, that would be worse than actually aiming, but still terrible and very unlikely to hit. If you got hit it would really really hurt, but the accuracy of such guns was on the level that it was widely commented that you had to shoot a man's weight in musket balls to actually kill someone.

Granted, that's at some distance. The odds would be better at the ranges we engage at by far, but just having a auto aim feature with a very small chance to actually succeed (especially versus moving targets) and an equally random damage would probably be Ok.

On the topic of firearms, it was stupid to have them int he game doing the puny damage they did when they were implemented. Guns were a HUGE factor in the successful take over of the region. Inaccurate, yes for sure, but when they hit the damage was severe. Even getting shot in the arm or leg would frequently result in amputation or death. Firearms were what allowed the people to police themselves against criminals and natives alike. I think they should be treated carefully in terms of balance, but should not be weakened to the point of absurdity.
