PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

I never understood why smell was so "taxing" for the game... I mean, I'm no programmer so I may be talking from my rear end here, but isn't it just something like "if player has meat and zombie is less than (e.g.) 30 feet from player, then activate chase mode"? :unsure:

Yesish, now, because there are a lot more support structures, from then, it was more of a raw
rendering, now there are a lot more choices. and options for mixing

I feel like I've noticed a much lower quantity of legendary parts in 2.0 vs 1.0. I think in my most-recent 2.0 playthrough I found my first single legendary part on like day 11? I can't remember what day it was exactly, but I remember thinking, "wow, it sure did take a while for me to find one of these". In 1.0 I'd have tons much earlier, iirc.

Yeah, I've gotten far fewer than in the past.

Two things about the beacons that replaced the bouncing exclamation point:

1. The light at the top of the beacon looks like an exclamation point, and is colored to recall the exclamation point. I am embarrassed that it took me so long to notice this.

2. Just before starting to clear a new POI, I noticed that I was near a previously cleared POI with an storage crate outside. (I use the storage crates to enable me to thoroughly loot a POI, then come back as convenient to retrieve the loot.) When I hopped over to empty the crate, I found a beacon that couldn't be activated. While puzzling over that, I popped into the loot stash and pilfered the replenished loot. I dumped that loot into the storage crate, with the anomalous beacon still humming nearby. An air drop fell not so far off, so I interrupted my interruption to take care of that. When I returned to empty the storage crate, the anomalous beacon was gone. Anybody else seen an anomalous beacon?

I've seen those random quest markers a lot in my game.

Yes, I saw a lot of these in the past. I posted maybe a month ago about quest flags at POIs with no quests. Sylen said they had only seen that in internal testing. At first it was just an occasional anomalous flag. At one point though I could fly around a small town and half the POIs had a quest flag. Then it seemed to stop. I haven't seen them for a while.

I saw a couple the last time I played (2 nights ago). They definitely still happen.
 
Have they given any thought to hiring a community manager or how they are going to communicate going forward?
I am not pushing for dates, just know all the changes they promised will take a good chunk of time.
