shield and throwing axe are not getting poison I want to make people bleed and poison

[Azzend]

Was the shield supposed to get poison I know that it did on SP. Bows didn’t though so guess throwing weapons included In that?

Game Mode: Testlive_US_1
Problem: Ummm…

Sorry, but this was so amusing to me that I had to share it.

PS: We really need a server restart…

Well people definitely want mounts and that mammoth is definitely mounting that house.

The things that happen when a Testlive server hasn’t been restarted for a week…

I was actually in that hut knocking out a smelter when it got up there. Could hear him rampaging through New Asgarth terrorizing the locals, shaking the ground. This shot was taken 5 hours later.

Seems like they should be restarting testlive servers daily just like they do live ones. that would also help find bugs that only come up with restarts.

Shadoza I understand your point, I too hate using admin panel as an excuse to fix some of the problem on solo. especially few months ago I had adjust just enough to fight against the wold boss because of their massive health pool enough to make you bore and go to sleep half way.

On top of that I had to use cheat just finish some of the new base to avoid crazy grinding time that I had to spend wasting. Where is the fair challenge if I keep using admin panel all the time right?

Yeah that’s the main point against this “just use admin” line of thinking really. That’s why I prefer official servers, even though I play without a clan. There’s just no choice to “admin it in”. Well, that and occasionally coming across other players’ structures when out and about, and knowing someone might come across mine.

I agree that using admin can remove the challenge; however, I use it to improve the challenge as well. I really enjoy the admin option when I want to change the stats to serve my personal preferences for difficulty and availability.

Oh don’t misunderstand me, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using admin mode for any or all purposes that suit you. I use it extensively myself to test out builds before committing untold hours to building them “for real”.

My point is solely that it’s not a good argument against changes that players who don’t like it can “just use admin to change the game”.
