Rehamk Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I am super addicted to this game as it really is AWESOME. WELL DONE HINTERLAND for making this game so amazing even in alpha. I look forward to more improvements/additions to come.Although a compass isn't so important once you have learned a map or able to use "landmarks" to navigate until you do I think a compass would just help. I know we can use the sun also but that's only when we can see it. Just a thought.Blood trails. The one thing I have an issue with (except excessive blizzards LOL) is the short duration that blood trials last. I am often hitting wolves with my bow or fighting them off with a knife and often running after the wounded wolf I lose it because the blood just disappears too quickly to find it. If it just lasted a litte bit longer that would be better.Of course I understand if it is snowing lots or windy then it would last less time that would be realistic also but have lost so many wolves because I lost its trail it gets frustrating.

PolishAndProudP Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 But would not the geomagnetic storm, which caused the disaster, interfere with the compass? I agree with better blood trails or even tracking the pray with its footsteps when there is no storm of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehamk Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yeah I guess the geomagnetic storm might interfere assuming it is still affecting things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also agree with adding more persistent animal sign (footprints, blood trails) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowsknight Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Perhaps a sextant? But requires daylight.I had a thought the other day, it's probably too fantastical, but we don't know what's causing the storm. Perhaps a piece of special meteorite that if you put it down your compass points to it. So you can always find your home.Nope, now that I typed that I think it sounds ridiculous.

saxel Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I vote that blood trails last until the next time it snows, then then would be covered up very fast (only a few minutes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
