Hi,
I’ve discovered a love for spear-hunting in this game. Hunting animals for sport has no appeal for me in RL but in this game, it feels somehow primal to sneak up on a bison or elk with only a sharpened stick and down them from a distance with a perfectly-aimed throw. Or sending a PVE enemy flying off a ledge! XD The attribute that adds knockdown to a thrown spear is the greatest thing ever made.
But… I’m having trouble gauging distance. I’ve had some spectacular shots, including one where I hit a turkey behind a wall from maybe twenty meters away. But with distance, I find myself overshooting or undershooting. Practice helps… but could we have something more?
One thing that might help, which I’ve suggested in another post, is displaying some kind of distance measure below the targets in the compass. That might allow players to correlate a distance with how high to aim the spear.
But it’s not the only way to help with this… or even the best. I don’t know exactly what I’m asking for. In RL we have our depth perception. I don’t know how you would translate something like that to a game. Maybe the way the last Predator game does it, with the circle drawn on the ground where the grenade would land?
Anyway, that’s my 2c. Would be a nice to have.
