Nerf Brahmin shoveling, Really?!!?

(1/10) > >>

Trokanis:
I'm sorry, I normally want to give the Dev's the benefit of the doubt, they are trying, but I just can't understand the need or the feelings behind nerfing Shit shoveling.  I thought it was a novel idea to have the XP scale for levels, made a fair amount of sense, and the brahmins for some reason being raging lunatics and charging you for merely cleaning up their shit, ok that was sorta funny the first few times.  But the fact that they charge you from the other side of the pen, or from right next to you, combined with more than one charging you at the same time making you be knocked down for more than 10 seconds is just not right.  Now they also take hp away every time you get knocked over, so if you're unlucky enough to be level 1 and not get out of the way fast enough you could lose a fair amount of HP in one of the multi-Brahmin pens.  I'm just not seeing any good from that change.  I see a lot more annoyance and redundancy to an already tedious task.  I understand the want behind having it be more than just click shovel, click shovel.  Like I said the XP thing great idea, and maybe them knocking you over could be funny if it didn't happen EVERY time you shovel a single pile of Shit, and in many pens it is every time, but hp loss too, when your only defense is being quick on the mouse, and pray you don't lag, nah I'm sorry I just don't agree.

I know that the people behind this change are spreading their wings some, and trying new things, but sometimes you just have to accept that not all ideas will work in game vs. on paper.  I am not going to say it was a stupid idea, I just feel IMHO we could live with it being toned down, and the damage thing removed, maybe if we could hit the Brahmins back to discourage them being raging psychos, but even that's a stretch.

P.S.  Fix Repairing please!

I thought this was a stupid idea when it was stated that they might implament this feature. Glad to see you proved my point that this is more of an annoyance to players than anything worth while. There is better things to do to get past those first few levels I suggest crafting guns and ammo then go hunt geckos for pelts than wasting time with shit shoveling.

But you know its just another pointless feature to make players react like this...

Bego:
It's actually a very good feature, if you exp on shit shoveling you really do deserve to get your ass kicked.

JovankaB:
The way the brahmin react will be tweaked to make it less about monkey agility.
But actually it might be made even more difficult.

No they don't, only those 5 or less hexes from the poop might get agitated.

I used it to level a 1 strength character to level 3 recently and i have to say it was good for that purpose, but i agree its a bit much with the cows i was taken to 2hp by them at level 2 i think and could have easily died. I like the feature quite a bit though it helped a ton especially for a low strength alt with no charisma etc.
