I agree about the replayability being @%$*#!ed. I used to start new playthroughs without too much hesitance, but now I dread the thought of grinding through the stages. It shows that this new system is pretty bad. Loot should be random and not predictable. 

Considering this game is still in alpha and I and I'm sure many others have put hundreds of hours into it already - i'd say it's a pretty incredible game. Really curious what this game will look like when it's done for the most part. I feel like there's still a decent amount that could be done. 

Perhaps they should use a system of looting where you only loot materials or old busted items that need to be scrapped in order for you to create a usable version. For example, you open a working stiffs crate and you find inside a low quality iron pickaxe, which when scrapped gives you a small...

I'm currently on day 19 I believe on my first playthrough, while I've already made my distate for the loot system known, I definitely wouldn't say it feels like some horrible grind. I have all of my settings on default, on day 19 I'm level 30 and already have a motorcycle level 5 AK, level 6...

I agree with the combat music being over the top, especially during horde night. I feel strongly that ambience and good sound design does much better than just music. I think the sound track should just be ambience, nothing that alerts you that you're being swarmed or things of that nature. ...

Fair enough. I still think there is a better way to approach the loot, but hopefully it'll be refined with time, I understand this is still alpha and this game is already super fun and addicting. Cheers

I honestly think the new loot system is terrible. I'm trying to think from the perspective of a realistic and fun approach to how looting would look like in this post-apocalyptic world. It's pretty lame finding a military style ammunition crate that only gives you some @%$*#!ty spears or low...

So here's another strange scenario where my fps drops, seems to have nothing to do with shadows really (also turned off shadows). In the screenshot, it is mid day in game. Looking straight ahead, my fps is 45 instead of 65-75ish. If I lower my characters head and look more at the gravel texture...

Hmm, I'll play around a bit more. Just had something interesting happen. Just booted up my game and suddenly I don't get such a dramatic FPS drop, infact I don't think I get one at all looking at this same little hill. 

Dynamic resolution actually killed my fps for some reason. Sun shafts were already off. Texture filtering didn't do much. I notice specifically when I go into the little cave like tunnels in POIs that my FPS gets cut in half. Image below is an example. These types of places cut my fps in half. ...

I noticed on A19 I get a massive FPS drop when I look towards gravel type ground textures. I can be sitting at 75 fps, then suddenly it'll plummet when I look at certain terrain/ground textures. The gravel type seems to make me drop the most. Anyone else experience something similar? 

One of the youtubers just released a vid testing it, seems that having two up at once is really nice, but just one is pretty lackluster. You need to be pretty much maxed out on all the skills and have all the books read for it to be viable. We'll see though, needs to be tested obviously. 

Hey everyone, Just wondering if anyone has had similar issues with running unusually high temperatures for  CPU and GPU while playing. My temps immediately jump to mid 70's and sometimes 80C and usually within a certain period of time, sometimes an hour, sometimes less, my computer will freeze...

Hey everyone, I've been doing research for the past few days on how to get my game running comfortably. My main components are 1060 gtx 3gb, i7 8700k and 16gb of RAM. I have my game installed on my m.2 ssd. I have these issues that I'm dealing with; 1. Texture Quality when turned to full...
