Glorious Alpha Two Testers!

Alpha Two Phase III testing has begun! During this phase, our realms will be open every day, and we'll only have downtime for updates and maintenance. We'll keep everyone up-to-date about downtimes in Discord.

If you have Alpha Two, you can download the game launcher here, and we encourage you to join us on our Official Discord Server for the most up to date testing news.

Hunting

Could someone point me to a source of information regarding the future implementation of the hunting profession?

The current state, where you are forced to find special animals that do not move and pet them (press F to hunt) is ridiculously repulsive.

I hope that some change is planned, where hunting and subsequent skinning will be applied to any, even aggressive, animals. For example, in a way where a special skill is applied to the animal after reducing its life to a certain level, which subsequently allows taming or skinning.

    I doubt hunting is in it's final state. Why they haven't worked on it is a mystery, it impacts leather working and other crafts, it cripples them to the point of uselessness...

    I would like to be able to attempt to skin every animals. I think if you 'hunt' the animal you should get a better chance at a skin/meat/materials. But if you just attack and kill it then you get a much much lower chance. If you're hunting/skinning skill is too low you just fail.

    They need to add in trapping for this too, for taming. Maybe for taming too you can get close and pet it try to tame it, but just have it run away (reset) if you fail, not die... Then people can go a more passive route for hunting if they want.

    I'd have to guess no one on the team has ever harvested game.

    Excited to check out the new fishing stuff, I hope hunting, farming, breeding, all follow the same route. If they do then the game will a solid life skills loop. It'd be cool to see some innovation on gathering skills like mining and flower picking too. Those are less interesting to me though.

    Implementation is one thing, but hunting is one of the major bottlenecks in the game and has been since P1 really. Nothing has been done on the LIVE server to improve the experience so far.
