For context, I play only on MP servers, never SP. I would love for the EXP bonus to be removed from the Nerd helmet so the Nerd Hat isn't the meta. No one on my server wants to pass up the exp boost, especially not early on, And as a result everyone is stuck wearing that dorky looking hat. I...

Does Daring Adventurer give better access to trader items for bartering? Or only quest rewards? Its really not clear in the help text. 

I dont even care about searching. I have 2 servers I play on. I like opening the game and seeing both servers sitting there on my favs tab. Having to "search" for the server I already know I'm going to play on is just stupid. 

I actually tried putting them on and off and the loot stage in the character sheet didn't change, which is why I asked. (oh tested it again and it works, not sure why it didnt before) But I think you're reading the numbers wrong. 0.10 to 0.14 is a 4% increase, not 40%. That would be insane if it...

Is this just a flat +4 to your loot stage which is in the hundreds? Or does it have a different effect like a lucky looter multiplier?

That's a good point about those items not being lootstage 1. And yea, I haven't played in a while and just recently found the loot stage stat in the player stat page. Looks like player level makes a huge difference in loot stage. I guess the next question then is if the goggles add +4 to your...

I know a while back wearing the lucky goggles that boosted looting score by +3 or +4 etc actually screwed up your looting level so it thought you were back to level 1 looting. Was that fixed? In A20 as I loot I will find lvl 2, 3, 4, 5 tools and weapons, but the moment I wear the goggles, I...

I don't spend enough time reinforcing the positives, but coming back to the game from a18, I absolutely love the silenced desert vulture. Not only does the sfx sound like it packs a punch, but the animations and ragdoll are beautiful. The damage is also appropriate. I also love that they changed...

Can’t wait to check it out! We reported the unusual fps drops for people with good systems but never got any feedback from the pimps. Hopefully this issue is fixed!

I think with all this discussion it's become over complicated. My point isn't to change much, just add a passive benefit to leveling primary skills.

First of all, sorry for making you read so much and thanks for taking the time to reply. The primary skills only boost perks for specific weapons so it falls under this category of "play the way we tell you to or gain zero benefits." I can understand the notion that it's a trade-off for choosing...

I already said that I'm not saying you need 5/5, just that single tree builds are not viable and that base stats have severe limitations, but to address your very good question, the issue is scaling. The skill system has to be viable on easy as well as on hard. Your gear stats are capped at lvl...

To clarify, I am not a fan of changing the skill cost emphasis to the subskills, since this would drive up total skill costs by end game. I think for me the best solution would be to take one subskill from each tree, and add those perks to the primary skill instead. So for Agility, pull the...

If the skill tree was organized in a way that an intelligence build was viable then it would make sense to play an intelligence build. But with only intelligence, you cannot farm, your loot is crap, lumbering and mining are horrifically slow and yield is terrible, your stamina, light armor...

A lot of good comments but I want to address this notion that skill points aren't being wasted. Using myself as an example, I only use Better Barter from the intelligence skill tree. That means it takes 17 points to unlock 5/5 bartering and 5 points to max it. Now, it does not matter if I decide...
