Minor bingo suggestion

[Gainfullterror]

Really tiny suggestion. Just a minor mechanic that could be added to make your life easier in Bingo.

Bows dropped by skeletons don't count as a bow on the bingo card. I assume this is due to the damage value. I believe this was done intentionally to make it more of a challenge. (similar to the oak boats)
It'd be nice if these bows were counted, since it's literally an item that we collected.
The same goes for dropped iron swords that zombies have from time to time.

YEH GREAT SUGGESTION!!!!

 

[Gainfullterror]

you can’t always get a bow from a skeleton. The gamemode is mostly about luck and if you are lucky enough to get a bow from a skeleton. Free present

Seeing as you voted for "no" & comparing it with what you wrote down, did you even read through what I'm suggesting?
Currently, a bow dropped by a skeleton is not recognized as an item on the bingo card. I'm suggesting that they make it so that it does recognize a dropped bow as an actual bow.

Oh lol oops

I'd say yes, seeing that it's also pretty rare to get bows from skeletons. After all, you did get the bow fair and square

Spunds like a bug to me


Ok guess not

While the game was in development we purposely did this as crafting is mainly the task here. Although this would be a good idea I'm not to sure if they'll add it in.

Consistancy is key

Crafting can go along with a bit of luck, I think this should definitely be changed. Good catch!

I hated it originally when that happened
Still do
I agree

 

[Quetzi]

Or you craft some dropped bows together to make a full durability one ;)

 

[MJ010101]

If you drop something from a dispenser on the ground manually, it’ll count, as long as it isn’t damaged!
I agree

Normally we dont get more than one bow from a skelly since it isnt super common to so...

 

[Quetzi]

This is true, but then you could also farm a skeleton spawner if you happened to find one.

Getting a single bow drop is one thing. Getting multiple of them in order to craft a full durability bow? You'd probably be better off killing a spider or two.
You'd need at least 3 bow drops from skeletons as you usually get somewhere between the 30% and 40% durability left on each bow.

This is true, but then you could also farm a skeleton spawner if you happened to find one.

Unless there's no chest, you've got a pretty high chance of finding enough string in the dungeon chest(s) for a bow. There's no reason to farm skeletons for the bow item, to be honest. It'd just be a great bonus and a bit of a boost of progress.

I get that you'd want it to recognize fully repaired bows, but there's really no reason to do so.
Since bingo is a somewhat luck based game, I feel that it'd only be fair to have dropped bows count to your card too.

I totally agree with you Gainy , getting a bow from a skeleton isn't the easiest thing so it would be nice to have this counted to your Bingo card.

Well it depends on how common a bow drop is. I thought it was very rare to get a bow so if that's the case I'd say yes. If it's very common I'd say no because it'd be too easy to get that item if the chance is something like 75%. I don't play bingo because I have all my modifications installed on 1.10 and I'll admit I'm a lazy coin. But for as far as I know a bow drop is very rare and would be a nice implementation to bingo.

While the game was in development we purposely did this as crafting is mainly the task here.

But why? You could do so much more with the gamemode bingo instead of minimizing the options of the gamemode to crafting only while you can do some much more.

 

[DontForgetMe]

This one has to be added!

8.5% chance of getting a bow from a skeleton
That means getting 2 is a 1.7% chance

This is true, but then you could also farm a skeleton spawner if you happened to find one.

For each chunk, 8 attempts are made to generate a dungeon; it's possible but unlikely for multiple attempts to succeed.

Also there is a 25% chance that any spawned dungeon will be a skeleton dungeon
Plus the world border in bingo

Thinking about this
If you had the developers change this in the longest manner they could
Meanwhile you join a bingo game and set off to look for a skeleton spawned

Devs would probably Be able to do it first

Welp, broken bows seem to be recognized now, so I guess this can be locked.
