Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2005 10:14 pm Post subject: An Issue with Weaknesses |
|
|
Alrighty. So I brought me a weapon that excels at blunt damage out to hunt me some kamokahuns. Kit's site proves true, I do devastating, unbelievable, etc. type hits to these creatures.
However, it takes the same amount of time to kill as if I hunted them with my gun. All those extra-powerful hits don't do a bit of difference in the long run, so my question is...why have weaknesses if they don't do anything? Is this a true issue, or me being dumb? _________________ Why use logic when you can just...make stuff up? |

the issue is more that only hitting vital areas can land a killing blow.
so you may land tons of devs on kuchos, but unless it's head, neck, chest, abdomen, or back, it doesn't matter in the "does it die" sense.
at least that's my experience. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

I landed at least 10 devastatings to various places, 1 unbelievable in the eye, and lots of other hits in god knows where. _________________ Why use logic when you can just...make stuff up? |

yeah, you need to try to focus your strikes on vital areas.
it takes a TON less time to kill something if you aim your blows. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Unless I've completely botched the syntax, hitting a targetted area is as simple as "bash kam left leg" right? _________________ Why use logic when you can just...make stuff up? |

yes but i think people have said something is up with hitting parts with melee weapons (or you may need more coord/perc. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

I wonder if it really is buggy right now? I can't hit anything I target with a melee weapon. _________________ Why use logic when you can just...make stuff up? |

That is the syntax, and yes there is something up with it, Trevor posted elsewhere that he was going to look into it.

As for hitting non-vital areas, it is possible to destroy every non-vital body part without killing the creature (provided they don't die from health point loss). If it is an undead (and kamokahuns are), it will not bleed out either. _________________ Counselor Faith Tempest

I STILL have trouble at melee shooting things in the head. Not all my aimed shots go there. _________________ "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" -- Adam Savage

I hit maybe 2 out of 10 to the head when I aim at the head, and no matter if I land a devastating or good hit I always get scuffs. Also no matter weather I use my gun which is I believe bone-crushing or my blades. _________________ Mellie Amresh says, "Send someone with a bigger dick."

My aim on bodyparts is a lil better with my guns but when I said only 2 out of ten (and thats generous) I meant with my blades, sorry I know I wasnt very clear on that point. _________________ Mellie Amresh says, "Send someone with a bigger dick."

Fumbling a bit in the process of taking a shot, you fire a golden metal gridgun with black accents at a fledgling kamohakun. Amazingly, you land a superficial hit to its chest as a fledgling kamohakun fails to dodge the attack.
... another shot hits a fledgling kamohakun in the chest!
... another shot hits a fledgling kamohakun in the chest!
... another shot hits a fledgling kamohakun in the chest!
... another shot hits a fledgling kamohakun in the chest!
