Mike23Ua Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 was waiting for patch notes to read -Added Palm Trees at Oasis, but this is good too I guess- Glad Batwings drop rate was decreased though. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just 6 bats per night per sinkhole. And judging from the tests I just did on 3 sinkholes it gives you 1 wing per sinkhole, or maybe 2 if you are lucky. The limitant on the batbat should be the gems and the living logs, not the wings, IMHO. Now you have to set up a farm, turning it into an expensive RNG related time consuming weapon again. I won't deny I'm dissapointed, and unless I find a reliable way to farm the wings without having to spend days into it, I'll probably stay away of batbats once more...

MondayNight Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) As much as I critique various suggestions for making DST harder in general from day 1 (am ok with progression or, even better - a 1 macro-event triggered by player akin AFW's first take-down and ruins regen that increments general difficulty), I also am against making DST easier. Bats, from my understanding, are meant to be pests and a threat, not food source. Game needs numerous threats, dangers as per its Survival facet. And bats fit that role nicely. More so, are a source for some rare-ish item that just got amped up recipe-wise (Bat Bat). Thus Bat Wing drop rate is ok at its initial value as to maintain Bats' role as slightly dangerous pests and to confer usefulness to Guano biome. This update brought a good revision in my book.

Thus Bat Wing drop rate is ok at its initial value as to maintain Bats' role as slightly dangerous pests and to confer usefulness to Guano biome. This update brought a good revision in my book. The problem with the bat wings drop rate is that they are both an ingredient for crafting an already expensive healing device AND food, and so the balance around both things kinda clashes. No doubt 75% was too much, that we all agree upon as it could quickly flood a fridge of bat wings and be used as a main food source with absolutely no effort, but the batbat already has 2 expensive materials (gems and living logs) as part of their crafting cost. Adding another highly RNG related item to its crafting materials could make people stay away from it entirely, once more. I think the limitant to craft this item should be the gems and the living logs. Now the problem happens when you increase the drop, thinking about the batbat, and then everyone starts feasting on the fountain of meat, or lower the drop to keep the wings away from a reliable food source, but you also make the batbat a niche and rarely seen in use weapon once more. It is indeed something difficult to balance. I insist that the drop as it stands seems a bit on the "too low" side, I don't know exactly how much would have been okay to keep it with a reasonable drop without letting people eat just bats, but 25% does not seem to be the balance point.

Owlrust Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 This is a dumb idea but I figure I may throw it out there anyways. If people think the purple gem is part of what makes it costly, why not replace it with mosquito sacks instead? Aesthetically it makes sense (two bloodsuckers to make another bloodsucker), and they aren't too difficult to come by either. Again, I'm not sure about the integrity of this idea so take it with a grain of salt. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinisterrkid Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) I hear all the arguments on drop rate relating to the viability of crafting batbats. But so far I haven't seen people bringing their suggestions to the number of wings needed to craft the weapon. The recent update changed from 5 to 3 wings needed to craft them. If your argument is that Living Logs and Gems should be the limiting factor (and I feel that), we can talk about the recipe needing only 2 or 1 wing(s). The points to take into consideration are: * Bat wings are a pretty good food item, and now that they can be thrown into crockpots (plus the recent artwork displaying it in Warly's hands...) we can expect a new recipe with them. That's really cool! * The mobs that drop them (batilisks) seem to have been designed to be pestering more than challenging. They are easy to kill, don't do much damage, but also they can't be easily hit when they're flying around our heads, and do it during the night. They lightly punish us from basing next to sinkholes, and eat items on drying racks (!) * There are lots of sinkholes in DST, and from what I see, people who like making lots of use of the caves like basing relatively close to one. Many bats spawn each night from one, so it's not a mob that's hard to find. * They take 6 days to rot, which is pretty quick. I'm fine with 25%, and would be fine with 50% too (especially If we get a nice crockpot recipe with wings). I have wished before that more weapons were more accessible, and I'm liking the arguments and discussion. I wonder how you all would feel about it if batbat only required 2 wings, though.

Mysterious box Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I just personally feel like a higher droprate would encourage interacting with them more as realistically no matter how pesky they're intended to be as long as you use common sense they'll never bother you when you don't want them to and with a low droprate they're going to go back to being largely avoided and ignored yes 75 percent was far to rewarding but 25 perfect is hard to justify the time and effort even more so to lower skill level players. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Safety Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I apologize for the stupid question but I avoided batilisks so much that I don't even know what the original wing droprate was. What was it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they should decrease the living log cost to 1 living log then. Make the Bats have lower drop chance sure, but the process one has to go to in order to farm the materials for a Bat Bat for what little benefit it gives is a bit unfair imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
