Weapon Swing delays and Archery trial on Test Center

[venox]

ok ive just thought of something.
and tested it on the server.

please point it out to me if i am wrong.

if your swing timer is refreshed. should you be able to equip any weapon and swing right away, when factoring in the use delay...?
i was testing this with q-staff/archery. (i know there is a 1second delay on firing and 1second flight delay)
hitting a corpser with a q-staff moving back 1 tile and wait for q-staff to refresh and then equipping my heavy x-bow. which seems to have to wait for the entire length of a archery shot, to be able to shoot upon equiping???
is this correct?
just curious, i dont see in patch notes that say this isnt the case.

[venox]

bah i get it.
its in the 1st line. but what i stated could be a loop whole in the system, and be ligit???

[BloodyBandage]

been testing some things, looks like bows will still insta hit?

[venox]

currently:
you can hit with a melee weapon, refresh your swing timer and swap to a bow for a intra hit.

with changes:
you must wait for the duration of the new equip'd weapon to expire starting from your last weapon swing.

could not the 1st system still ring true?

[BlackFoot]

we tested that out and it was changed,
you coudl basically equipa dagger, fire heavy xbow insta
equip dagger
instea fire heavy xbow
equip dagger fire heavy xbow
was basically a chain gun heavy xbow

[venox]

yea true.
so does what i just stated also imply to melee weapons?
i guess it would.

Create food now creates the food in the backpack. A wider range of food can be created as well.

This could go either way. It simply depends on what Derrick prefers.

Thanks for the info. This change was made because I remembered personally only getting hams, and was going through the era info on spells and saw this:

Create Food: Creates Hams when cast. Why hams? A quantity effect based on magery would be nice.

I'll change it back. I hadn't considered the effect of feeding mounts.

Q:
with archery
say you melee hit someone and then begin to run yet dont equip a bow.
does the archery timer begin to refresh or must a bow to equip to the timer to tic down?

The bow must be equiped. There is only one swing timer, and when you're unarmed it's behaving as wrestling.

i like the only hams :P

Does this mean unequiping, then re-equiping a magical wizards hat will no longer cause you to gain meditation?
