auto-loot during boss fights = dead player

[-shhfiftyfive]

problem:
when fighting outdoor bosses (such as Jetragon, Blazamut) and player using rocket to fight, the player gets over encumbered and unable to move (dead) or constantly enter inventory to drop the sulfer, rock, etc that was auto collected while walking (dead)

solution:
please make it so the player does not auto-loot while in combat.

I'd say make it togglable in settings

Solution: Manage your inventory. I've been farming them without ever going anywhere near max weight.

i have 1500 carry weight. 1 rocket to a few sulfer nodes will put you overweight.

Maybe hit the boss and not all the nodes around? lol.. like is this a real post? I've never in my entire 110 hours been "accidentally encumbered" while fighting bosses..

[Kriya Takagi]

Mind your surroundings I guess?

[MrSoul]

Nah f that, I ain’t missing drops potentially cos some folks lack organizational skills.

Suggestion: Put 1 honey in each slot until after the boss fight and have no sulfur/rock/wood/coal in your inventory, then after the boss fight move the honey back in to a stack in your feed bag slots since honey weighs practically nothing and doesn't spoil.

Suggestion 2: Just punch jetragon and doge like a real pro.

I have 1550 carry weight, and have no such problem.
You need to stop running around with a full inventory if a few nuggets of sulfur is giving you that much grief. (And also aim at the giant Pal and not the ground around it)

you have a floppie don't you?

This is a first for me as well. If you're destroying everything around you, it seems like you might be missing the target a lot, and carrying way more than you need to. You have a high weight limit (1500, you said), but you're consistently going over? I can destroy a sulfur node at 600 weight limit and not be overweight... what are you carrying?

My suggestion is the same as some others; look at what you're carrying, then go a bit lighter. Since you're using rockets, I'm gonna make a guess you have a ton of those, and they WEIGH a ton. Look at your other gear weights as well, and leave a few things at the base when you go in to fight a boss. For example, you probably don't need a glider to fight a boss. Worst comes to worst, if you're as far along as it sounds, farm up a bunch of Kingpacas and merge them so they can boost your max carry weight, then just keep one in your lineup to lighten your load. There might even be some higher leveled types with the same ability you could use, but I don't know; I'm only lvl 26 .

Sounds like a you problem

[Urk_da_WAAAGH!]

If you are fighting those bosses you should be at a level you are able to pick a few dozen stones or wood without getting encumbered.

I wonder where all the level ups have gone

1500 carry weight - about 350 in equipment = 1150 of free weight.



the blast radius of a rocket is apparently insane. you can shoot a dragon in the face and it will still break rocks in the area. Blazamut is an easy example. he's in tiny cave.

and just fyi, when he gets hit with a rocket he sometimes gets propelled into the ceiling (buggy physics). shooting the ceiling still hits him because of the radius of the blast...

also fyi, if you shoot him while he is frozen (from your party pal) then he will flat out be knocked out of the cave completely, and you'll have to leave the cave area to trigger him to respawn.



i made the mistake of using a rocket during a raid vs a flyer. the flyer was about 1 foundation way from my base wall. yet when i fired the rocket.. it took out like 20% of my base walls, floors, ceilings. this damage radius was like 7 foundations away from where the rocket went. maybe this is an unintended bug. it doesn't even make sense that the stone walls were taken out with a single rocket... i obviously chose to rebuild the entire base out of metal at that point...

and i thought it was funny before when a friend burned his entire early game wooden base down by using a fire arrow (which i never use)

1500 weight
500 work speed
200 stamina
1000 health unequipped, 2100 with gear
