Anticlimb is still anticlimb yes. And was also before, but before you had to put resources to actually destroy the anticlimbs before getting up. Now you dont need to put a lot of effort to farm gasarrows or explosive arrows for example.
Since it’s way to easy to farm for both LS and bat. And yes LS is broken. And I know it will get fixed. It’s not supposed to do that amount of damage it is now. Bat’s I dont know, but what I know is that purposes of old mechanics has lost a bit if not almost all of it’s value now especially anticlimb.

Why not just change strategies, instead of asking strategies to stay static and have no changes that challenge them?

How could we pass up the opportunity to have climbing spiders? Where is the coat tail?

So I got to play with the spell last night…holy heck. That is a fast climb. I am glad I had enough sense to do it near water. My friend watching said the bat swung by, picked me up and then I disappeared.

From my experience new thralls tamed this patch are better then pre-3.0 thralls. Hope this helps your issue with thralls.
You keep saying this, even though multiple solo and small clan players in this and other threads have popped up and said this is wrong. Honestly, we are fine. You can stop white knighting for us. Duping and bugs etc. are not good but sorcery if anything is an equaliser for us.
It sounds like you’re talking theoretically, like what you’re imagining it’d be like to be in a duo. If you actually played solo or in a small clan then you’d know you can’t guard your base against a big clan who wants to wipe it. That’s not how successful small clans play, before sorcery and now. We don’t play the same way as big clans. We don’t expect to be able to defend our bases against large groups. Instead we try to build smaller bases that are hard to find or approach, and if a big clan finds and wipes our little base, we can rebuild it quick because we didn’t have much and it’s not a huge skyscraper made of foundations. And now with sorcery we can retaliate fast even without a base.
This.

Think the start of your post may be missing…
the thing that annoys me most about bats is if we are going to have flying can it at least be cool?
like a bat saddle rider sort of thing.

Every successful small clan has at least 1 exit strategy…a bug out chest. I usually had a fridge and chest in my sleeping area with all the thralls, rare mats etcs and a bestial memory potion and the the gerbel sacs dungeon potion on the ready.
Nowadays, I got the teleport system to keep me safe.

so much THIS!!! points up

(fantastic.this.is.gif)
the teleport system is great and you got a good few options for it not being used against you however loading up your body and retreiving corpse seems like the safer and cheaper option as there is a chance they could follow you (although admittedly little good for placed thrall rescue).
Sorry I have to jump on this. What I see right now in pvp are that a lot of people from small clans revenge trolling clans with lightning storms. Its mostly rarely a honest attempt to pvp or raid a bigger clan. For that they would need to fight, this hasn´t changed, and most are too afraid to do that if they know that they are outnumbered. Instead they just run around and aimlessly targeting bases. And because most people that play in smaller clans have not much experience in raiding, since they do not do it very often, they will storm everything they come across. The storm leaves nothing but destruction everywhere, which leads into servers getting empty pretty fast and people leaving quicker as they normally would. What we see is no normal raiding behavior, its uncontrolled mayhem.
The game offers only a limited amount of hidden spots. And almost all of them are known by now thanks to youtube. So there is no place to hide. In fact, the hidden spots are the one that will be found pretty quickly. Storm goes through mesh. So hidding in a tiny hole actually just makes you pretty easy to raid, since you heavily pile up your loot and workbenches in one spot. A feast for every raider. Pretty easy with lighting storm to raid too. People are building small right now because they know that they will be stormed no matter what they do. They are just pragmatic and face reality. Most think its not worth the time building a base anymore in this game. End result: heavy bodyvaulting once again.
I do fail to see where this is a step forward in what we had before. All I see is a big shift from one extrem to another. Unnecessary destruction everywhere you go. People that think they are pro players by destroying every little hut in the wild. No skill or experience needed. Just spam lightning and your done.

Hate to break it to you, but it isnt lightning storm destroying everything and making people quit.
Think we all know whats actually doing it…
They way you build bases has changed, deal with it. Dont want people to land on your roof ouy of raid time, maybe wall palisades and some thrall that can access landing areas.
The irony in this made me chuckle

I am not whiteknighting anything, I am talking from my point of view as a clan of 3 that actually does not hide in a rathole…
You misunderstood or I wrote wrong what I mean with guard, with guard I mean someone has to sit at home all raidwindow to ensure that when some naked little griefing kid comes by to cast LS…what you consider “successful“ play is up for your interpretation but I Garantee you that most solos/small clans will see playing like a rat not as successful.
I did nowhere say you could defend as a small clan vs 10… but now comes the catch, there is not just you and a 10man on a server… and there is the problem little solos running up to your base and casting LS for basically free.
And no an active 10man will have no problem to defend against your LS griefing lol. So even if you truely belief this would help you more than it does bad, I am very confident in saying no it doesn’t.
It’s fine if you enjoy the hide and cause as much dmg as possible playstyle, but we for example wanna be part of serverpolitics etc and stand our ground, and we actually kicked of the last 10man of our server with a bunch of small clans and an alliance… and guess what we didn’t use ? LS… because they were sitting in crevice and gutter wich made LS useless.
But since it’s 4x, every solo can spam thousands of bombs per day.
