I like your confidence - you have a high sense of self importance.  Id be willing to bet tho - that they would have made this same change if u never joined the forums.  
 

However, in the off chance that im wrong, and your sphere if influence is really that grand,  can you convince Peta Jensen or Asa Akira to stop by my house? Please?

It had nothing to do with community feedback. It was one of those "save this system" choices instead of just hitting the delete button and moving on when you should. For some reason I don't have @%$*#! to eat in my latest game. I guess my crappy shotgun can't kill a stag, and mining/biking takes a lot of calories. I'm having a blast though, there is nothing like this before. I'm on day 13 and have the kind of gear you might have had on day 2 or 3 before, and I already know there is no good stuff anywhere in my near future, I'm level 25. I think people will be sucked into this for much longer than ever. There is no way I'm going to try and kill a bear.... muahahahahhahaha!

Unless you guys changed it for A19, the startle and run range of the non-aggressive animals is a good bit longer than the effective range of the pump shotgun and longer than the max ranges of the double barrel and blunderbuss from what I've seen in A18. I don't bother with the shotguns anymore because of this. For me if the target is in shotgun range then it is time to switch to melee and get ready to kite and brawl.

Tin Can Landmine. You can make them straight away if you have access to a work bench.  Shoot and bait them for food stuffs.

"Work smarter not harder" should be a mantra for survival.

Also making a small pit of wood spikes so they're flush with the surrounding ground is also a good option. If you can spare the wood.

As a player of the game, you might be better off waiting, you only get one A19 first impression and having to restart every few days or week because of changes kind of sucks. I haven't had a forced restart, but to get a sense of balance or rwg fixes you have to so I decided to. My point is there are lots of things incomplete and buggy yet so as a player you might enjoy yourself properly to a finished version. Its like when you buy a nice juicy steak, marinate it, and put it on the grill and it smells amazing. You step away to hit the rest room and come back to a grease fire and its ruined.

You mean "take all"?

But sometimes , that little grease fire adds just the right amount of char it and comes out absolutely amazing! ;)

A question : Have you guys touched the secret stash table for a19? 

Right now every level of secret stash (barter perk) is the same for all the players, so if one player buys everything useful in his secret stash and all the players in the server (8 players) have the same level of the Barter perk (for example, level 5 of Barter) only 1 player will buy the things he wants and the rest ends up with nothing.

Result: no ammo, no food, no medicines, or even nothing remotely useful for those 7 players with the same perk benefits, rendering the perk useless for 90% of the people. Also happens with just 2 players.

I understand that traders and vending machines can be exhausted by just 1 guy/gal. But the secret stash should be PERSONAL and different for each player because it's a perk that is directly tied to player effort, choices and progression.

Early bird gets the worm, for now at least.

I'd much rather just be able to craft low-tier mods from the beginning. Gate them behind semi-rare resources, not recipes.

@madmole How strongly does location effect gamestage? Like if I'm at the point where I'm seeing orange pistols in the forest, what would I be seeing in a wastelend city?

The same. Biomes will not increase game or loot until A20.

Replacing her with a club girl in a sexy dress so she fits into more than one location.

The bug of the groin closeup is hilarious. I hope they take their time to fix it LOL. 

-Can I see your inventory?

-I've got just the thing for what ails you!

 
One thing i would love to see, for fun, the big zombie, i dont know his name but he usually spawns next to the big lady, has anything thought about giving him a butchers apron for say a second spawning skin to add some varience?  just an odd thought.

As far as the difficulty increase for looting and crafting, im wanting more and more. lol
