I was on this hunt! Even though there were at least one greifer, there were me and many others who tried to stand on the meteor as soon as it ended so we would know where the box went. Unfortunately, with the one in the trees, when they threw the regen bomb, the box flew up on top of the tree.
There was a person in voice chat saying they were the ones making the holes, but not the ones regenning the meteors. Also… it was the same few people claiming the issue with totems filling up their inventory. I had a spot open for totems and also had an autolooter on and never picked any up. I don’t really know what was going on with that.
Me personally would not mind that. Few times I’m on hunts I go on do people make trenches to trap mobs. Sometimes it works well if someone just uses a shovel to make a 3x3 hole. Most the time it’s someone using bombs and it ends badly with alot of people falling and dieing constantly inside of them because they have been made to large and deep.
It works better if you use wider area bombs to create more of a crater than a pit, but bomb pits can indeed kill players. Sad truths. I don’t think it’s usually trolling as much as researching a use for bombs, but I could see it being done maliciously on occasion.
I can’t argue with that. The shovel definitely works better. I just don’t have the heart to tell players that prefer bombs that their weapon of choice sadly has no place in the game atm.
what I was saying is the regen can’t touch the meteor because it has a force field or something but we can pass through - just like you can’t regen beacon areas including your own.
yeah i understand but i noticed people dig out meteor so mobs fall in to kill later on and to make the attack waves weaker but i dont hunt much so i dont know current techniques maybe they could build trenches around the forcefield our even better just have force field stop bombs and forged tools i think it could work
the thing with that tho is unless you have a dedicated digger who puts points into the shovel or is willing to waste a gem tool 9/10 by the time they finish diging the last hole the meteor is over and they lose out on the xp form tagging the mobs its why bomb holes became meta even with max level meteors a hard core group can burn them down faster then the 2 or 3 diggers can work
Next update will (hopefully) disallow regen in meteorite radius.
I would obviously rather not disable (or special case) features but if players are grieving with them - then it’s better the game rules stop it then relying on bans.
An alternative suggestion was that regen bombs could set the chunk regen cool down to zero. This would allow regen to happily naturally rather than instantly. This is a much more elegant solution and would be better for server perf but would have more knock-on effects in other areas of gameplay.

Well I am happy you considered my suggestion. I think considering everything the meteor radius solution is probably better because it is focused on the actual issue and blocks those that are attempting this. Basically pointing the finger at them by saying - NO!
