So the day/night cycle was bugging the shit out of me since I first started playing, and it seemed like it would go through a complete 24 hour period in less than thirty minutes. Finally timed it, and one in game hour is exactly one minute real time. What the fuck is that?
Fifteen to sixteen minutes of daylight at best?
Also, I don't really understand how "damage" and "tear" are supposed to work. Not in the sense that I've been having troubles using specific weapons for specific tasks, simply how the game calculates it.
With my Shadow Hunter Bow for example that has all damage mods, my Hardpoint Arrows show 63 Damage, 98 Tear. My Shadow Sharpshot Bow Precision Arrows on the other hand only have 54 Damage, 69 Tear, yet they do almost double the actual damage compared to the Hardpoint.
Another thing is that I have yet to find a legitimate use for the Warbow, other than occasional
. It seems pointless for both shock and freeze. Even when you have good freeze or shock mods, it takes an eternity to land the status effect compared to using the Sling, and especially compared to the Rattler. It's my least used weapon next to the Ropecaster. Does anyone actually get any real use from the Ropecaster either? By the time it takes to actually get something pinned down...for a whole single shot until it breaks (wheee!), I could have already taken a machine to half health or less.
I also carry two Shadow Hunter Bows. One with all 46% - 50% damage, and the other with 48% - 50% fire. The fire version especially has seen the most use overall I think. It just wreaks so many enemies.
