I was trying to enchant a wolf teeth necklace with tier 2 dexterity, but with the rss to make that possible, it allows for 5 different enchantments. I can't pick which one to enchant it with and it keeps giving me everything except the only one i am after... Like... it could at least go for the enchantment with the damn highest amount of the circles filled. what is the point in trying to enchant your necklace for dexterity when you get magic damage up? At least let us CHOOSE what we want... so, what? i need to make 10000 necklaces till i get one with the 4 enchantments i want? and have my old descent one break before i get to make a new descent one, even tho all i am doing is farming for materials for the necklace?

My character has 6 intelligence for a reason... I don't want more... same for cooldown reduction... who cares about that when u almost never use skills?

My charisma is at max... like, that's what luck is for isn't it?

@islesofurth if not for the daily post, i dont think i would be active in the forums at all. i am sure alot of other people are the same. at first, i didnt post much stuff and alot of my posts were in the daily post, but for quite a while now, i have avoided the daily post thread. i try to post stuff that is useful and the devs sometimes think it is, or i wouldnt have won a few of the weekly draws... all because there was soneyhing pushing me to post in the first place.

all the people that post in dail post and spam will be losing out, because they will never have a chance to win bonus points through the weekly reward things, coz they never post anything useful.

sure, it isnt good there are people that never commit properly in the first place, but there will be people like that regardless of what u do.

sounds rather interesting. I might consider joining your side, despite being a pretty reclusive person and player alike!! perhaps i could be a hermit, but still provide support every now and then

living on my own in amongst the wildlife could prove fruitful for rss gathering to then sell to the merchants or craft into powerful potions!!

oh, woww ^c^ thanks. i wasn't expecting to be a winner in one of these any time soon

@PeachMcD said in Mount conundrum....:

I can't even imagine riding a gorilla, tbh. They are intelligent beings like dolphins. Unless it offered me a ride, I would never.

I'll probably keep my mount as a companion and just not ride her unless under duress. I'd imagine Wolflings will have decent stamina and speed on foot. Or I might come up with a backstory that would make her conveying me believable. I just wanted to raise this as a question cuz it's a funny mental image to see a wolf riding a wolf.

to be fair, some people treat their mounts as companions. Treat a mount well, and it will treat you well... Treat it poorly and it will run away as soon as it gets the chance. Horse riders are a great example. a lot of people i have met that ride their horses absolutely love them... feed them, water them, brush them, give them plwntly of room to run around and sometimes even play with them.

@Jairone said in People who buy a founders pack today get more than yesterday:

@Xzait Glad you opened up to join the community on a deeper level!

i am too. Has certainly made the game alot more interesting, despite not being able yo play it unless an alpha is up. Rhe community is wonderful and we all have fun chatting about all the updates and potential mechanics! ^c^

@Jairone said in Attacks speeds depending on armor ?:

Further, it's actually realistic to run at about the same speed. Especially for trained warriors. The idea otherwise is tied pretty heavily to being outrun over long distances, which remains true... but that's best represented not as a maximum speed, but a limited time for going full speed.

That is not true at all. No matter how well trained someone is in a full plate mail, they would not be able to keep up with someone that is running away from them in light armour that weighs literally 10x less. It is the same for weapons. A master Greatswordsman will not physically be able to swing a large greatsword faster than someone swinging a rapier.

A greatsword is designed for great physical power, as a heavy armour is designed for a formidable defence. Using a rapier sacrifices brute power for speed and piercing. Light armour sacrifices a large amount of defence for agility and manouverability.

Running at the same speed in all armour is in no means realistic at all.

@Xzoviac oo. the idea of damaged trophies is interesting... maybe they deteriorate over time like the house does if you dont maintain it... so you can only have a trophy if you have killed the difficult enemy rescently. Like, in the last 6 months for example (not sure if that is too long tho tbh, with the rate of which houses are planned to deteriorate).

@Prometheus does bow damage stat off or PER? it's hard to tell how its' damage goes up looking at stats, as there is no mention of bows in the character creation. Perhaps there should be a tip put into it in future updates? I got my str to 15 this test in case bow damage statted off of that, but it doesn't seem to have helped.

I have been trying to do a bow build from the get-go in this game, but the lack of info does make it difficult. I havn't read up much on the news, because i like to discover things for myself instead of be spoiled for info and not have the excitement of discovery, so it is probably my fault... BUT, when the game is eventually released as open beta or a full game, New players with no background knowledge (like I, in effect would be testing as) NEED to be able to find out how they need their build on their own through wit and the descriptions of the different stats before them.

To add to this, my suggestion would be to add some kind of 'advanced descriptions' to the game. Have the basic description of everything that u do now, but then an extra button to open up more detailed notes on EXACTLY what each stat does for you in-game. Of course, this probably can't be done until all the stats are fleshed out completely and are exactly what u guys want, but I hope to see it implemented ^c^

@PeachMcD lol. you can sleep with the wolves and giant spiders outside instead of the cutw mice inside if you really want The tavern could be a 'safer' place to sleep rather than a cleaner one. i really like the idea of this. maybe you could get a minor debuff if you slept outside on the hard ground. Not enough to be dangerous, just a minor hinderance.

It seems that either enemies with an accuracy of 240 OR enemies with the Bleeding Strike skill, like Dire wolves and Splinterlings, have a guaranteed chance to hit. I have stacked up 785 evasion and 1000 luck, and they literally never miss their attacks. Yes, their skill is guaranteed to hit... but their basic attacks that follow it, shouldn't be.

I don't know if it is a special bear meat, from a legend that we just killed, but there is a lone bear meat that the tavern won't let me cook for whatever reason.

On top of this, the damage you deal, is affected. I was getting the bow damage bonus on my quarterstaff earlier, instead of my bow.

I should have realised this issue earlier, when i was dealing almost as much damage with my quarterstaff as i was with my bow, despite having no perks to melee damage and less than half of my perception stat, in strength. (22 perception and 10 strength)

after resting, the game tells me I have +92% dmg with bows, after all my bonuses from gear, enchants and talent points.

After clicking tab, to my first unarmed slot, it thinks i am still using a bow, and shows me my talent bonus from bows:

Clicking tab twice more, getting back to the bow, it shows me a different number to my actual damage. This number will change based on where you have talents. Even if different talent presets have the same damage bonuses, they will show a different number in the inventory:

Clicking tab a few more times, will break it even more:

The only way to get back to the damage you should be dealing, is by resting at a tavern or fireplace again. While having your bow selected.

Here is a typical archery skill that you should be able to use any type of bow:

Here is a skill with a weapon weight requirement. I cannot use a Longbow with this, only a primitve bow or a shortbow:

@baaldas said in [FRAC-2302] can't use skills coz no reasons at all?:

Man relax, you are using HEAVY longbow, your skills requires MEDIUM or LIGHT bow.

I try to find and usually post tonnes of bugs in the alphas i get to play. but this has just killed the alpha for me... I log in and run around for 5 mins before i log off, coz i can't use the skills i worked hard to get... and there has even been a patch since i posted the bug, where it wasn't fixed.

The weight of the weapon doesn't matter for most bow skills. the light/medium requirements is in the armour, not the weapon class. I will send a screenshot as proof. Also, looking at my initial screenshot, the game is saying I am wearing heavy armour specifically, despite not having any armour equipped at all. If i try to use stealth with a heavy longbow (which i don't have this test), it will tell me that i am using a heavy weapon, as you can only use medium weight weapons with it.

skills are the foundation of this game.

What do you think players would do if it was magic skills that had this issue? something like probably 40%of players use... They literally wouldn't be able to play their characters.

@Ostaff said in [FRAC-2302] can't use skills coz no reasons at all?:

@Xzait

The Longbow is considered a Heavy Weapon, and I think some of the archery skills require a non-heavy weapon as well as armor.

I would suggest taking a look at the picture properly before commenting. I have every possible archer skill in my hotbar and NONE of them are lit up to be able to be used. Most of them just require a ranged weapon, not a specific weight class. This bug has killed the alpha for me till it gets fixed... and it shouldn't even have developed. What could the devs possibly have done during a patch to mess this up? It wasn't an issue 2 days before i created this bug thread.

Also, skill armour requirements are only affected if you are wearing the wrong weight-class armour. Wearing nothing at all has no effect on your skills.
