PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

[Old Crow]

The ammo drop balance really needs to be looked at. Finding AP and HP ammo a bit more often is nice, but it's almost to the point of never finding normal rounds. I'd say even at higher stages it should be like 50/50 on what you get between normal and AP/HP.

Or hell, always throw in normal ammo with the AP and HP. Like, give normal a 100% chance to appear with special ammo.

on my last map I made Custom barges to add to a river

This is all great! I want to see the developers' interpretation. I don't like the custom stuff from the community (many of them look weird mixed with vanilla poi)

 

[KirillWright]

It would be nice to remove steel and steel parts from the loot for the forest and burnt forest. (let there be a small chance for the desert) With a high probability in the winter biome and wasteland. I would like parts of iron weapons not to drop in the forest (let the chance increase with the burnt forest) This is all funny, considering that biome progression is enabled and the loot is set to 25%

The silent majority may or may not like your product, but they are silent, so you just don't know.

If you look at the Steam ratings, the game is liked by quite a large number of users. People will not play a bad game for hundreds of hours.

sur ma dernière carte, j'ai créé des barges personnalisées à ajouter à une rivière

on dirais les tracteur qu'on peut retrouver dans les champs en 2.1, et eux encore ils sont pire et meme pas demontable par la clé a molette mdr

Hundreds? Hah! Those are rookie numbers.

A similar complaint I've heard a lot right after v2.0 is that normal shotgun shells get completely replaced in high tier loot by slugs, since the slugs are "AP" versions. Buckshot is relevant all game, so getting that to drop would be great.

To the ammo topic, I agree with all points. I love that we are finding more advanced ammo in loot, but it is a little ridiculous how much. It's also funny that looting regular ammo appears to be capped at loot stage 68. So much in this game is governed by LS and I think a different approach might be to have advanced ammo found in just POI end-loot containers and infested caches. The amount might be a range that increases dependent on the tier of the POI. All other ammo piles as well as yellow/blue loot bags could continue to drop regular ammo (with a small chance for the advanced types) regardless of LS. Maybe the red bags can have a higher chance to drop the advanced stuff.

 

[LittleNightma]

Make regular ammo the only ammo you get in loot and make the better ammo craft-only.

Although the last game i played on 2.0, i had set up a shotgun turret, as a meh lets see how it does for my hoardbase, nad it took quite a number of shots to take out a radiated arlene. I'm not too sure how good they are at higher tiers. I'd love to see shotgun turrets and smg turrets be able to take higher tier ammo.

 

[ilexev]

Même si lors de ma dernière partie sur la 2.0, j'avais installé une tourelle de fusil à pompe, je ne vois pas trop comment elle se comporte avec mon trésor, et il a fallu un certain nombre de tirs pour éliminer une Arlène irradiée. Je ne suis pas certain de leur efficacité aux niveaux supérieurs. J'aimerais que les tourelles de fusil à pompe et de mitraillette puissent accepter des munitions de niveau supérieur.

Vous pensez qu'ils équilibreront toutes ces choses basique avant la 4.0 ou un peu après ?

 

[Javabean867]

Do you think they'll balance all these basic things before 4.0 or a little after?

I am sure there will be plenty of balance patches as it goes into later ant later versions of the game. I also think that there will be other balance patches after the final game is released, just because there are so many games that do just that.

For the love of everything 7days Add more weapons and Paint selections before more of this DLC...

 

[ilexev]

Pour l'amour de tout, 7 jours Ajoutez plus d'armes et de sélections de peinture avant plus de ce DLC...

Ce serait stylé d'une force incroyable moi j'espère qu'ils ajouterons des kit de cosmétiques alternatif pour un prix allant de 1 a 10 euro(ensembles de vêtements, véhicule, armes avec modificateur compris)

So sure, they could add a flame thrower for example, but that would probably be bad simply because of the necessary voluminous screen effects decreasing FPS. They could add some more melee weapons, at least there are visually very distinct melee weapons out there. But again, what should such melee weapons do differently to make a game play difference, not just give some weapon fanatic wet dreams?

Back in 1.0, we really enjoyed the threat that 0-SCore mod combined with a part of the Aussie Mod that allowed wood blocks to catch fire. Triggering mines, cop spit, someone being stupid with a molotov, it added to the care you needed to take, or the speed you needed to loot and get the hell out. Would be double vicious if at storm time, would have to try and mitigate.
