A note about the hose shortcut into the sandbox: You used to be able to walk up the hose, jump onto the top of a bit of grass, jump to another, before jumping into the sandbox. This is no longer possible, unfortunately. It was a really convenient way to get back into the sandbox after you'd been in the trashheap, but it's not too bad, since you can still run through the anthill without too much difficulty.
Yeah, I always start a new game every major update. One of the things I wished they had done is separate the "unlock all recipes and free craft" options in the custom games. Honestly my play style hasn't changed too much in this update. I typically grab a larva blade or a knife and B-Line coup de grass level 1 and 2 which is pretty easy. The game is easy with a dagger at 25% crit, specifically if you are very practiced with perfect blocks.
Hey Milton, I just found a really big underwater cave which I think was added with the new update it’s at the roots of the oak tree and in this cave which has multiple tunnels is a milk molar and a golden milk molar a rotten lantern a backpack with feather arrows and a scab and a few scientist points I don’t know if you have found it yet but if not you could make a video bc till now I didn’t saw any video where this is mentioned. Especially bc of the two molars. And of course I have to say that I love your videos!
Here's a couple problems. Take the fang dagger for example. I had one bumped up to level 7. I noticed that it had been nerfed to a #1 damage. I can get the same damage with a new level 4 dagger. If I upgrade it, the damage doesn't move beyond one. This is the same with a few other tools. I had level 7 ant shovel, insect hammer and axe. They all exhibit the same rip-off in upgrades. You apparently can't use crusty roly poly parts for anything including fixing your crusty roly poly armor, When you are under attack from multiples, the ninja attack is worthless. The default seems to be ganging up. I've been killed more times by dust mites than wolf spiders. I am allergic to dust mites, but that's beside the point! The mint mace seems to have maintained some dignity so I guess I'll be going back to the classic. however, it is so slow that the three way attack is kind of useless. A level 7 Cotmd is only half a notch above a level 7 mace. Finally, I went to gather some black ant parts. Given the new attack, it is likely that if you don't kill them outright, they will run away. can't blame them. however, you can't catch up with them once they start to run. I have quickness and aphid slippers one. still can't catch them. Same with the little green things. And where do they go? I almost ran one down, but it disappeared. Really? Because they aren't hiding anywhere I can find. Why doesn't the gas mask work on dust might dust? Poison but not dust? And I finally figured out why sometimes when you want to run, you can't. The little "tense muscles" thing lights up not. Ohhhhh. I used to see those on the list, but never understood what they do. Attacking ant lions would sometimes prevent you from running, but I never know why. It was incredibly frustrating. I guess if one complained the game was easy, this is what you get. Derrick
The daggers and spears are basically useless at this point because their base damage is so much lower than the clubs and swords. The spider fang dagger at level 9 mighty will only do 1.65 damage.
This update has made fresh starts a way different experience. The 3 hit combo can make resource harvesting a pain if you don't use the combo, and early game, swift weapons like the larva blade is way more viable than other weapons like the spiky sprig and it even outclassed the ant club on occasion due to its ease of landing combos. Not really noticing durability change early game yet, but that may be more for late game. All in all, it definitely has some effect on early game
I think for the casual player starting fresh could turn them off the game as these changes feel like they increase play time from start to finish not via new content but via extra grind. I don't think they make the game more challenging they make it more time consuming.
@@MediocreMilton indeed, for people just looking for a game on the side, this update does not promote much, I don't mind it as much as long as the grind is not too brutal.
I know, it's kind of a hot take, but I really still don't agree with the narrative that block cancelling would be (one of) the main reason(s) for the combo damage output downgrade. Before the update it seemed to me like everyone was running around with the Antlion Greatsword, so stunlocking enemies wasn't really a thing anyway. Personally I only ever used it for harvesting. As Antlions were the only enemies I'd use the Salt Morningstar against, they (the regular ones) are stunned after three hits either way, and while stunned you can land the finishing hits, so stunlocking isn't even relevant in this quasi only case you'd seriously use a weapon which has the side-effect of stunning your enemies. If everybody was running around and dismissing every other weapon in favour of Salt Morningstar or earlier the Insect Hammer your point might be more valid, but I really don't feel like this is actually the case and haven't yet heard any convincing reason why it should be. In my opinion it's just a real unlucky, one might even say stupid choice to link the introduction of the combo system with this downgrade of your damage output. By the way, I think this often gets overlooked while rightfully criticising the current system, it's not just the first hit you deal less damage, even when you land your first two hits you'd still do less damage compared to before (100+100=200 vs 50+100=150). This can make the combat so frustrating sometimes. Sorry for this little rant, but I feel I have to get this out of my system every time this gets mentioned. Anyway, great content as always, and even if this sounds otherwise, but I really appreciate your content! It's just this one point I seem to have a hard disagree with you. 😂
You could block cancel with every weapon and people were doing it. It was a well known exploit and it was being abused. Like I said there were probably other reasons for the combat change but block canceling had to be considered in that decision. In any case I don't like the current combo system and it doesn't seem like very many do.
@@MediocreMilton True, you could, and you still can, but, as the spicy ALGS was kinda the meta and you could kill a Wolfie in 3-4 hits anyway, there really wasn't any reason to use block cancelling, but I trust your word here and believe you people were abusing the block canceling well perceivable on a measurable scale. I don't disagree with you on block cancelling maybe being considered for the damage scaling (which doesn't equal combat change and combo system in my opinion, I like the combo system and I really think you could still salvage it by adjusting the scaling), but I don't think it was one of the main reasons. For example, when abusing block cancelling for stunlocking, you can still do that. It'll just take you a bit longer to eventually kill the enemy, but it doesn't get rid of stunlocking. I think the reduction of the effectiveness of block cancelling was in the end a byproduct of their poorly chosen way to introducing the combo system. The combo system itself is actually good, raises the skill ceiling while potentially keeping the skill floor low if they reverted the damage scaling to maybe 100-100-150, or 100-125-150, or whatever, broadens the build variety and could potentially free the players from being 'forced' to use the one or two most effective weapons.
The new attack damage doesn't make sense fighting a group of spiderlings with a Lv5 ant club is no longer able to one shot them making them a lot harder to deal with to the point I stopped using two handed weapons
The combo change is kinda lame, if you in a fight with multiple insects to get hit before you can finish the combo. They should have made it scale off of the stamina you have, less stamina less damage
One thing I would like to see added is the ability to make custom weapons in that you can sacrafice damage for speed, speed for stun, and stun for damage
Trash heap collectible raw sciences: 2 previously unattainables are now attainable, a 3rd is half attainable (you'll see what I mean). Also noticed some new raw sciences here and there in the map.
I would start a custom world but i dont want to risk overwriting my current save. I've had it for a while and am dumb enough that i would easily save over it accidentally
not a fan of the overcomplication of fighting. I'm just gonna avoid unnecessary fights even more now. Imo there are way too many weapons and armor pieces anyway.
I think the point is 80% or more of the armor and weapons are completely unnecessary and basically useless compared to others. Get Ant Club day 1 or 2. Use that and a bow for Koi, Hedge, Haze and Black Ant labs. Use Black Ant Sword + Shield for Antlions. Use Antlion Greatsword for everything else. Armor use Acorn until Spider then Antlion and you beat the game.
I have been actually using the Roly Poly armor now. It is heavy, but the difference in stamina regen isn't much & the defense is much better. Using a Black Ant sword, Salt Morning Star, or other 1 handed weapon with a shield will utilize the benefit of the set bonus. Except against dust mites...just shoot those turds & use Antlion armor.
They are always working on multiplayer but the problem is it works for some and doesn't for others so there's no clear solution. Hopefully they get it sorted out before the game fully releases.
@@MrJann5089 I recently made a report in game which tags the "gps" of your current location. I had to report that the cloth in the trashcan is a potential hazard causing a softlock of sorts. Apparently you can clip right through one side of the material but not the other. The dome one near the new 'crusty helm' item location allows you to clip into the dome rather easily but then you are permanently stuck inside. Edit: Should have a report option feature within your pause menu if you haven't already discovered it by now.
After update when I logged into my world my salt morning star was faded and I couldn't use, when I move the icon in inventory it vanished. Is there a specific reason, anyone know?
Wait, you didn't mention the speed nerf on the antlion greatsword. And you can block cancel after the whole combo still. Plus you missed the defence buff given to antlion and spider armour.
Yea honestly they shouldn't have done that combo damage nerf every hit should be 100% even if you block or parry it should be 105% because like in fight night and UFC games any fighting game reversals/parry is more bonus damage.
The do combo thing id why i do so much damge when i combo when i was killing mosquitos i did not a lot of damage on first hit but then i did a lot more on my other hit
So instead of fixing the block cancel exploit they made it more difficult for people who don’t use the exploit.
