Lots of discussion on these already, but here's a quick recap.Finally started watching the A21 dev streams. I'm on the first video. I love most of what I see. However, things I don't agree with are:
1. Getting rid of glass jars as you drink from them. Where does the glass jars go after you drink from them? In a survival situation, would you just throw away good and useful things after 1 use? Instead I believe it should be a good chance for it to break or damage beyond using condition after some use or getting damage or broken when combating zombies or just moving/running around. After all they are glass.
2. Garbage go poof. Really, ever heard of the saying one man's trash is another man's gold. I sell those in early game for money at the traders. Why not do it like the big trash that shows wheather it was looted with a different looking pile, like scattered vs intact? If intact, we can still loot and if it's scattered then we can still chop it for scrap materials to sell or use. What I'm saying is clear distinction so we can decide to run past or stop and loot, however, not poof away.
3. Cannot throw spear, lol! One should be able to throw almost any thing in defense in a survival situation! You should be able to throw ur bottle or axe if u have to so you survive an encounter with a zombie or pig or whatever. If you throw something, you should also understand that there is a possibility of loosing them in many different ways. That's just life.
This just my opinion wheather you agree or not. Hopefully I can get to dec stream video 2 soon.
Most things do not leave empty containers already and no one complains. No empty gas cans, no empty acid bottles, no empty oil bottles, etc. This just brings everything into a single standard. There really isn't any need for glass jars or empty cans. Now, whether or not the actual changes to how you can collect water are good will have to be seen.
I'm not sure how many people scrap the trash piles but I do think many people loot them multiple times and this will prevent that. I do like not having to check everything to see if it has been looted yet but I don't know that this will be good.
Throwing a spear made the power attack almost useless. By changing that, now the power attack perks have a lot more value. You also are less likely to lose your spear and mods that are in it. I think this is a good thing and I think more people will like it than not.
Lots of people have said here that they don't use spears because they feel they are underpowered compared to other weapons. I think this will change that opinion.
