Hey Lion... Firstly I'd just like to say that although there are bits that need fixing, you guys really do deserve high praise for the work you do and have done on this and many other additions to the game.Lion Martinez wrote:Hey all, thank you for your feedback. We read it and take special heed to concerns and negative feedback, we won't rest on our laurels. However we need to really dig down in to what's perception and what's real. Please be sure not to argue with others about your standpoints, if you post it once we will have read it and taken notice.
A note about the effectiveness of the Birdshot; it's effective up to 40m/131ft. Please remember that when out hunting the birds and that they might be further away than you think. If this is still too short in your opinion, please give your feedback but do so constructively.
It's also good to here that what we say is being noted.
Obviously the Birds are a new area of game play and one thats quite tricky to get right straight off. The difficulty you have is making the flight realistic an not look to animated, unsynchronised or sluggish. But yet have the bird stay in range long enough for the hunter to react, again will an element of realism.
So Just a thought but obviously the potency, pattern and pellet count of the bird shot already needs looking at and as you've mentioned, will be.
But perhaps for game play sake maybe slightly exaggerate the effective range of the shot. This could help eliminate some of the raised issues, enhance game play with out cabelarising it and still produce realistic results... probably far more realistic results.
And before folks kick off I'm not on about taking it out to 100 m I'm suggesting maybe 55 or so depending on what other elements you change regarding bird flight and shot dynamics.
Basically it would mean that the birds can still move at a good pace and look realistic an still offer a good chance of shot or 2.
This would be especially useful for future developments if you intend to include faster paced birds like dove, quail, partridge or teal, which as it stands at the moment we wouldn't stand a chance of hitting with any consistency lol
Keep up the good work and thanks for adding Birdies
