Ranged Weapon Crafting ?

[mirthd]

Don't know if its just me, but I cant find any way to learn Ranged Weapon Crafting on the Newbie Isle, and no guns for sale either.

I presume this is deliberate, but I can't see the logic in its exclusion.

I assume they are not putting it in there until it is rebalanced.

I think range in it's current state is best left off the noob island till it is fixed. Range frustrates new players and is best left as a bonus skill to play around with on the mainland.

Newb here, what's wrong (or not wrong if it's a feature ) with ranged?

I wouldn't say ranged is "wrong" or "broken" myself. I find it can be helpful to teams AND be soloed easily enough, which puts it a few paces ahead of some other skills I can think of. I do believe it needs some improvements, just like 1-handed melee, but we don't say that's broken.

As for whether or not it should be on the starter island, I don't know. I will definitely agree it's incredibly frustrating at low levels because of ammo. It's either very expensive for poor quality stuff or incredibly tedious to make your own good quality stuff. At new levels when you have little dapper and poor harvestiong skills, it can be a nightmare to get enough ammo to gain a few ranged levels hunting.

I guess I'd rather see it introduced to players after they have some experience under their belt so they're more likely to continue as opposed to trying it when they're new and thinking it's broken.

Besides, the PvP crowd all know the Tryker gunman Crythos and how to stay away from him... Sehraci is mostly right, it is best not meddled with untill you can get your own usable ammo.
You see, a gun is one but you need to get bullets and these bullets you have to craft yourself etc...

Ranged can work as a skill on its own, it needs a little dev love maybe here and there but (as mentioned before), plus the fact you have to lvl three skills at once to use it effectively is maybe why they left it off the Island.

Some Homins just dont like to dig and without knowing how to make 100/100 damage ammo could be put of ranged as a skill for life.
