All I can comment on is the Sambar. You mention fun, well most people I talk to love how hard the Sambar are at the moment and it's fun to finally have an animal in the game that is a challenge to hunt. Getting one is the best feeling. We have however many other animals that you can get easy. Why not spice it up a little bit? You say it's not your skills that's in question, so how do you think people are getting them then? They are stupid hard to hunt in real life and the game does a good job to replicate this. I am super taken back by your line of comments actually Gas, I had picked you for a hard working person who doesn't mind a challenge or getting his hands dirty. I am not sure about the steel armor as some people have illuded to, because I don't have an issue dropping them. Only thing I think is very very hard is bow hunting them, but again bows are a little broken in the game because the animals are too easy to lure in. So it's nice to have an animal where shooting them is a better option. In saying that I have shot a few with the bow now, it is possible still.
I will ask the team about the steel armor.
P.s I like it how you are a straight up guy, who says it how he sees it. I am trying to be the same and I don't mean any offense
just trying to talk your language, respect.
Sambar are stupid hard to hunt in real life, but are no harder than what a Whitetail trophy Buck Deer is, and that should be an equal prey species with their evasive maneuvers where
it is set at it's abilities in the game or switch all deer to be just as stupid hard to hunt.
When I play a game I want to see animals and be able to have those hunting skills in the game, but with the hunter gameplay their is no skills to speak of.
Spotting, Tracking, and weapons skills, about sums it up. For the hunter themselves their is no stealth, knowing when to make movement, wind direction counter(with cover scent) and years experience knowledge, not making noise and noise movement skills.
I never mentioned that I cannot shoot Sambar in the game, but when I'm playing a game I don't want an extremely long chase on 1 animal,.. I want to see a lot of animals in the game,
their movements, That's the difference between a game and real hunting.. A real Deer may take a day, a week, a month or a whole season to get.
In a game what is the point to sit around or stalking just 1 animal ? I don't really want to be out there taking screenshots of the terrain, I want to shoot the animals.
That is why I play a game,.. to have fun getting animals that IRL would otherwise be impossible to get or even be able to hunt on a daily basis.
An hour or two on the game is enough for me an I want to be able to have the choice of shooting a bunch of animals in the time frame instead of a dead serious tracking hunt where the
only thing it is replicating is the "time", not fun in that description IMO.
Hope you understand where I am coming from at this point.
Have a good 1.......................GAS
P.S. and I am not a waterfowl hunter in the game...........
