Stun Bow

Feedback please!
I would like to read more opinions before I make changes to the Stats. :2017stickytube:

  • How big is the demand for a nerf?
  • Is it really too easy in the current state?

Don't worry about simplicity,it's the player's preference to use it。the place for me to improve is to use other arrows

Alright, I'm glad to read.

Hm, the base damage of the stun bow is lowered to not kill the targets.
Shooting normal arrows with the stun bow would not be effective.

I love the idea of this mod. Using it feels a bit OP for me tho. Can go through set city in minutes just knocking everyone out with one shot a piece. Would love to see a way to edit the cost of these arrows to include like star metal ore. Or just take more shots to knock out a thrall.

I could change the material requirements, but that's not in the interest of most PvE players.

I use the bow to stun certain enemies, then take the sword for the rest.

An alternative version of the mod with higher material requirements would be possible, I will think about it when the game is released in May.

I honestly find knocking out the thrall, even legendary ones, the least difficult part of obtaining a thrall, honestly. That is true with the club/sheild, or the arrows.
I can see how kocking out everyone in a town could make it op, but as the game currently stands, when someone wakes up from being knocked out they are invulnerable, so I wouldn't want to be arround for that. If knocking out opponents in lieu of killing them makes the game to easy for someone, they should not do that.
I wouldn't mind some herb being added to the recipe or something, though. That'd be fun.

In early testing, I found out that normal arrows do too much damage and often killed the target.

For this reason, the stun bow and arrow are incompatible with other versions.

Should I revise the crafting requirements?
e.g. Crafting on a workbench or other manufacturing materials like "Ichor"?

if Possible can you fix or make a version that does not knock out thralls in 1 arrow even higher tier thralls are getting one shotted which is kind of OP and takes some of the fun out of collecting slaves. maybe give the arrows the same amount of Uncontious damage as tier 1 or 2 Trencheon per a shot so it takes a few more arrows as the trade off because the arrows are so cheap to make and way too OP right now especially for the cost of the bow and arrows.

Definently need them to cost more so there not so easy to craft early on they should be a mid to end game item . like at least should cost some demon blood or glowing essence so they require killing a large crocodile or shaleback at the least and shoulndt make more than 2-4 arrows per a craft . there way too OP as it is they are way too cheap to craft and knock out almost any thrall in 1 shot which is too OP especially on a Server cause people could just knock out your thralls and then raid you or knock out your thralls and take them as there own way to easily with little to no effort.

the strongest arrow now has 20 piercing, it ends up killing the thrall, it was useless, I went back to the club.

Hey JB, I just tasted it with some spawned NPCs and was able to stun each one of them.

Just fired this up on a new server and am having the same issue but with the weaker arrows also.
The stun arrows are causing way to much damage to the thralls and they are being killed before knocked out.
Not all of them.. the weaker ones drop like flies and are stunned.. but higher tier are dying.
I dont mind if I have to use 30 stun arrows to knock a thrall out.... but dodging and weaving and trying to stay alive for 20+ arrows just to have them die... kinda annoying.
I know if we are being realistic here.. 20 arrows of any type is enough to kill a man but lets not get into that!!!
When I last ran the server with this mod.. there was no issue at all with thralls dying.
Id recommend taking away ALL damage from them... only have torpor.
It is a stun arrow after all.. I shouldn't be able to kill anything with them.
Appreciate your work though!!!

Was using the strong ones last night with no issues at all.

I think the balance is great for them, Sober. For PVE Single player it says lot of time. Thanks for your good mod and hard work on it. :)
