And sooner rather than later it all becomes a Screamer Opera Metal party with a bunch of undead friends.

I did notice. Thank you. It's the little things as much as the big ones that show the love you guys have for your craft. Regarding RWG, I do wish for a network of procedural underground caves like Robert mentioned way back ( something about loading surface and a "deep" underground separately and...

My honest review of 2.5 after playing a bit ( a bit more than a bit already, jeez) Honestly, the new RWG improvements are huge. Tiny improvements here and there and I find it difficult to spot jarring landscapes or features. Get it? jarring. Smell? 10 out of 10 implementation. Rotting can't be...

Well, yes, I hope so in the short term... in a sense? 3x the cost might not be THAT huge. It means obstacle avoidance, basic team tactics, a bit of weapon switching, basic covering and peeking, and MAYBE: item/weapon pick up, driving and/ or trigger activation, like levers, buttons, etc. Those...

Bandits are cool and all, but I understand why they do prefer to push the game into a proper state first by polishing the few remaining features. Npcs are expected to squeeeeeze every inch of performance this engine can provide. 5x the cost per bandit vs a zombie will be an impressive feat of...

Generally it doesn't, specially at higher Tiers (3 and above). But it does in unbalanced Tier 1s, as easy salvage in an easy POI is god sent at early levels. Also, pumps have steel.

Tiered quests have caps on zd levels, plus that half skull that does little to none to zd count/difficulty in a Tier 1. Higher leveled entities will noticeably apply if you enter without quest. High quality salvage harvest is too much vs other similar Tier 1 quests in any biome. So biome...

You are mistaking Pass'n Gass POI. Not 2 pumps. That's most of pass n gass, not 09. 09 has A LOT of cars and A LOT of pumps (6 or 8 if I recall correctly). AC units on the roof are quite abundant too (I think there were around 10). I'm not sure what POI are you talking about, but this one is...

This is a balance report, because you can notice it very clearly if you do lots and lots of POI and this one stands apart . I will begin with the problems: 1. Floor plant of the place is a bit too big for a Tier 1 ( alright, this alone can be ok to save resources) yet it contributes to the...

Not exactly. You have to have constant checks into your inventory and storage to see if they have smell and to what degree. Spoiling functions in a similar way too but with stack checks. In a game with a sandbox AI that's too much of an overhead for the CPU and you rather use it for occlussion...

I do love most of the changes over the years. Dumping Learn by doing was a sacrifice that improved the game in most aspects, perks are simple, LBD would have to be extremely progressive and the enemy difficulty well balanced and the experience for everything gated behind specific progressive...

Thanks for pointing out the typo. Not my native language but still, I'm glad you are a polite gentleman, not like those plague spitters over there. Do I love trolling, my god. Sorry, hugs. Have a nice day. Staph it.

Nice. But you disregard black zds, asian zds, stereotypical muscleheads , stereotypical jar heads, sexy nurses (currently hot assistant nurses), fat guys (body shame, ain' it?) and stripper zombies. I feel offended now, I hope TFP make the new entities THE WAY I want or else I will thoroughly...

Yeah. .5 pathing would turn the game into a blender on a drill without a cap, but I'm glad that you are open to add specific obstacle checks. It's not ideal as it needs more than a few to avoid edge cases, but will work mostly the same and with less resources. That never happened to me in 2.1...

The POI overlaps are mild compared to before, but you are VERY close to solving them. That's bad news regarding raycast vision and grid. That means major changes to a huge rewriting to make them better from the start... but bandits will also have that pathing so... "add sidewalking into a main...
