Hey guys, has anyone else had strange issues with weapons?
I spent a couple weeks in a new game and finally reached a level I could make steel weapons.
So, I make me a good steel short sword. I figured a short sword would be a bit easier to handle ya know.
Anyway, I get my medium armor on and get my new short sword and off I go to kill some unsuspecting NPC’s.
I found a blackhand camp and I crouched and snuck up on a guy, who was evidently paying pretty close attention
because he noticed me, yelled something and came running.
I pulled my short sword and began to swing. As I was swinging I noticed a couple of his friends come running to join the fight,
I figured because they knew I was going to destroy their buddy.
So I am swinging away at these Blackhands and I swear all I hit was air, but they didn’t miss me once.
So when I respawned at my base, because I forgot to put down my bedroll… probably another bug.
I made me some new armor and a axe this time. I killed a kappa and totally destroyed the poor thing in less than 10 minutes, testing the axe.
This time I decided to run out to the jungle and go for some Lemurians. You know, Derketo worshippers, the lovers not fighters theory.
I knew there was a camp up on a plateu so I wound my way around through the mountains and jungle and found my way up.
There was a lone Lemurian sitting on the edge of a cliff, not paying attention to anything.
Knowing that sneaking wasn’t working properly, I decided this time I would just bum rush the NPC.
I pulled my axe, ran at a sprint, swung my axe and the swing through me off the cliff, without touching the NPC.
So when I respawned at my base, because the bedroll bug again. I made some new armor.
This time thinking maybe the armor was bugged, I made heavy armor.
Knowing the sword and axe are bugged I made a mace this time. I went back to the Blackhand camp and the NPC that had killed me before was still standing there.
So this time knowing I was going to crush him, I ran in and began to swing the mace.
That NPC must have been a veteran or something because as soon as I swung the mace he kind of side stepped the blow, and the momentum of the swing threw me into the center of the camp spinning in circles.
The next thing I knew, every NPC in the camp was hitting me.
So when I respawned at my base (lets not talk about the bedroll bug).
I decided maybe a bow. So because I am now going to be an archer, I made light armor and a new Nemedian bow with some iron arrows.
Thinking that NPC at the Blackhand camp stands no chance now.
I run back over there and… there he is. I think he saw me because he had this smurk on his face and was yelling again.
So I drew the bow, which I forgot to drag the iron arrows onto so it said “No Ammo”.
Quickly opening my inventory I see the NPC has decided to come for me. So I drag the arrows onto my bow and closed my inventory, just as he hit me with a sword.
Knowing I was out gunned, I took off running, the NPC hot on my tail.
Now I tried everything but no matter how fast I ran, I could not shoot that bow behind me while he was chasing me.
Well the NPC finally turned around, knowing he wasn’t going to catch me, I can run like a jack rabbit.
I thought fine, I’ll shoot him from a distance this time. So I draw the bow and let loose an arrow.
I damaged 3 rocks and a banner but finally hit him and he was mad. So I fired the bow a few more times.
Arrows look pretty cool when they hit cliffs, rocks and trees. So the NPC is closing on me, I unequip the bow, and realize I forgot to make another sword or anything.
So when I respawned at my base, I decided to call it a night and report these bugs.
Any help would be appreciated.
