HG Kits Update - 2/7/16

We're looking to buff the really poor quality kits. If people don't like the certain buff, we'll change it to a different buff, not back to its original phase.

 

I will test lifeline today and post how I feel about it.

 

Perhaps kits was a bad example. I'm talking about major changes, like feast, biomes etc. Save the old code for the feast and whatever, and if people hate the new, back with the old.

My point is: Get HG out of beta first, then do major changes. With stats, maybe people will come back

 

YES! Finally! I'll try everything out <3!

 

What's the problem with the kangaroo and grappler change? The point is to give the kits full use of the abilities they have, but not the ability to run away endlessly. Out of all the changes, probably my favorite one.

 

Dear amazing coder, THANK YOU! I want to thank you on behalf of 11 people (12 Including myself). This is not a joke. I have received 11 "thank you"s to send to you, my packs LOVING the kit changes. We get that mcpvp feeling man, it feels so real again!
Firewolfy(me): Dear amazing coder, THANK YOU!

Haruthewolfy: Timelords not in the shop yet? Still thanks coding person.
neowolfy: what happened to my kit? thanks for the update I guess.

 

Are you guys a pack or something?

 

For all the retired kits, will we still own them? or will they be taken away? and my last question is, if they are taken away will we get a refund?

 

Why was castaway removed? It was a good kit for noobs.

 

Too similar to hermit and it didn't really end up serving too much of a purpose compared to a real kit. It's easy enough to travel out 200 blocks without having to pick a kit specifically for it.

 

Glad to see the work that's been being finished and revamped! I can't wait for the weather events, and stats to "kick in".

 

I know how to use the grappler kit to the full potential, and believe me, 100 uses is enough for maybe just 1 long fight. Besides, what prevents them from running away endlessly with this? They could save the uses till they need to run.

I don't know about kangaroo, but I know for grappler, to give it the full use of its ability is to revert it back to the previous state. The best way to use grappler is to grapple onto the person, hit them as you pass them, and continuously do this, so they can't hit you too much. Another way to use it is if you're getting comboed, so you grapple to them to get out of the combo. Convinced?

 

What this change allows them to do is choose which aspect of the game they want to apply the grappler to. You still can PvP, you just need to be more careful about when you grapple and ask yourself the question "Would it really be justified to do this?".

If you are using a kit 100 times in one fight, your clearly abusing the features of the kit - and that only proves the point it needs to be changed.

 

I love the kits, but the poor ones really get to me because it makes it unfair.. Hopefully they might change, who knows!

How is that abusing? That is making full use of the kit. If I were using it to run forever and piss people off, that's abusing.

Anyway, 100 is still way too low. Let's talk about kangaroo. If you're going to a far away swamp, for someone with **** ms like me, it would take about 10 times to go 200 blocks. That's 90 left. Normally people use kangaroo/grappler to get out of ravines. Most of the time, you fail at least 2 times. That's another 2 down, just getting out of a ravine. 300 is the least it should be

 

I agree with Mattyz_ on this. The uses on the grappler kit is way to low, and kangaroo even more so. I would even argue that kangaroo is worse off before. I like the kangaroo buff about the damage nerf thing, but there shouldn't be any uses to it. Also, isn't the whole point of grappler and kangaroo is to be a mobility kit? I have never had a problem with kanagroos running away from me or trying to catch up to me. I just consider it part of the game and what makes HG fun. Anyway, now people are switching over to ninja instead of kangaroo and grappler, so this didn't really solve anything. Now another round of kits are going to have to be nerfed, and another, and another, etc.

 

Remove WHATEVER THE HELL you have done to Thor. It was fine. You can't break blocks with the axe? That's BS as hell.

 

Lol now jellyfish is more op than thor.
Anyway is the redstoner kit fixed yet?
