Throwing Palsphere Mod?

[Tri]

Since the Palworld Devs aren't doing anything about it with this, why can't someone just 'mod' it back in?
Oh don't give me that "BuT mAyBe ThEy'Ll AdD iT nExT uPdAtE~" you know they won't. We are already in an update and it's not coming back 'officially'. Literally a throwing animation that IS in the game but seriously why hasn't simply modded it back in?
And don't you suggest nexusmods "alternative throw mod' where it's just point and click, no give me the throwing animation, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ throwing animation.

...Or is it really that hard?

Ya'll really need to stop whining about this and just be patient. Odds are there won't be a mod for it because there is a lawsuit on for that very mechanic, even if someone did make a mod for it it's likely enough that Nintendo will strike them down too that nobody wants to risk it.
On it's face the court case looks good in PocketPair's favor and if they win guarantee the throw mechanic will come back.

You're the one who signed up for early access and should have known there would be changes, small and major, and some of them you may not like. Deal with it, until the legal battle is resolved and stop being a whiny baby.

Me about to get obliterated by nintendo's lawyer because I accidentally threw a ball at my cat (it's a patented mechanic).


I do miss the throwing animation tho, hope this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ law battle resolve soon

Law/soon.

Lol.

I've said it before but ill say it again.

The game is still perfectly playable and all of your Pals are just as good as they were before. If your Pals are only able to do their job if you can confuse the AI and delay them starting to attack by summoning your Pal in the middle of them then you don't have a good Pal. This isn't an opinion, it is a fact.

A well trained Pal can approach from a distance and win.

Go make a mod yourself? You can't get on here and claim it is easy if you are unwilling to simply manifest it yourself? This sounds almost as silly as...

No ones saying its coming back. In fact, it is unlikely to see a return to the previous iteration((And if at all, it is doubtful to be seen anytime in 2025)). By the time the legal litigation is done, they will likely have fallen in love with their new changes, assuming they keep tweaking the Pal Summoning experience.

But it makes very little difference to the overall difficulty of the game, as I previously mentioned.

Lawsuits can't stop mods from being created and shared.
Nothing can, short of a complete electrical outage.
Even should the internet go down, we still have discs and flash drives.

.... Yes it could very well be a hard task. How long have games been modified for? I know for a fact Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (2006) was heavily modified enough that the ability to mod the engine was even a selling point to Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (2011). That means there has been a modding community for 18+ years. Do you think being aware of this the judge of Pocketpair's care will stop at "remove the feature", and not go to"make it so the feature can't easily be modified back in"?

Yeah, but are you the one who is going to risk nintendo going after you for 10's of thousands of dollars? Anyone who mods it and then hosts it is sticking their neck out. I can't think of too many people that altruistic. Nintendo is already shown what it does to the emulation community, once they get precedent with patents they are going to have a field day with modders.

You guys really have to learn what nintendo is doing and why this is such a big deal if they win this case. the history doesn't matter, nintendo is trying to worm into that territory now, and if they win, yes, it doesn't matter in the past. Game play patents are infinitely worse than copyright issues.

Gladly would, if I had such a mod. Ninty can only threaten larger groups and entities, particularly those that make themselves public. Modding is effectively a grassroots movement. They don't have the manpower to go after the entire anonymous internet.

These companies are also typically all bark and no bite.
I remember when Bamco sent out threatening e-mails to all IP addresses leeching/seeding particular torrents of Dark Souls 3. Nothing ever came of it, and no surprise there.

Fairly sure you think what I said means something else. This is why people shouldn't rapid post. Actually read what someone says before replying.

My statement is this isn't an easy solution to just fix with a mod, because by now Developers and judges know about mods.

Quoting out of context is a sin. Get around more.
If someone created the mod in question, thousands would download it there isn't anything Ninty would be able to do.
It would keep coming back. Again, and again, and again, ad infinitum.
Corporations are centralized; We are decentralized. You're selling yourself short, bud.

That statement alone, when talking about NINTENDO, absolutely notorious for its lawsuits and literally won like 2 multi-million dollar lawsuits this year alone is crazy. Everything else you said just gets floored by the fact you're that out of touch with what you're talking about. There is no reason to discuss with you because you don't even have the most basic understanding of the topic to discuss it. It's like if I want to talk about nuclear physics as an accountant. Why would anyone care what I have to say if I don't know a single thing about the topic?

Their lawsuits have nothing on my rom stash.
Duilf is right, you need to stop rapid posting. Stop sucking up to corpos while you're at it, eh?
Spend some more time on the internet. Just do it. You might learn a thing or two.

Here is the story about the people who got sued by Take Two. TL;DR there was no public disclosure of how things were settled. Price tag unknown.

And here is a story about Activision giving a Cease and Desist to some Call of Duty modders.

And we can't forget Nintendo has been successful in taking down emulation and Switch Modders.

Modders don't have immunity just because it is easy to share their creations. Honestly we all need to treat mod creators far better. We make far too many demands and expect far too much of them.

How does this in any way refute what I've said thus far?
I've been breaking Ninty's rules for decades. Their response? Nothing.

We outnumber them by an insurmountable margin.
They would sooner break against the tide before bending with it.
