Havesting tool combat switching
why would you need this?
if there is a mob causing you problems, just kill it,
because there are many times you kill something or attack it and it walks away, then you dont regenerate health. and it doesnt make sense anyway, oh I can switch weapons in combat my sword and shield, but I cant switch my gathering tool. I understand that its a game, but for all games to be sucessfull you need certain laws.
For instance it doesnt make sense that you go through have a game traveling with someone, fighting hard all the way. then a cut scene shows ther person you travel with using some uber spell to kill a huge monster you cant. why wouldnt they help before.
Certain laws that need to remain intact, even for a game. If you can swirtch weapons in combat you should be able to switch gathering tools. Switching clothes would not make sense, but gathering tools do when compared to weapons.
The more you move away or forget the set of laws that make the game the more the game begins to narrow as a whole. once again the laws are not like real life physics, but game laws the devs make when creating a game, that way by adhearing to these laws they dont make a monster mistake that jeperdizes the game. Similar to laws around the story of a game, it has to make sense.
