So I decided to try alpha 19 and wanted to give my first impressions of what I saw playing up until day 24.  The good: 1. The new sky and atmosphere look and feel great, I really like it.  2. The current loot system felt good although I was skeptical at first but there's a catch, I played...

While you are shopping i thought I'd throw my case in here for you. Researched cases for months and ended up here. Looks great, MASSIVE AIR FLOW, lots of room and just all around the best case I ever had. The price is a joke for what you get.  http://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P600s.html Also, I...

I've had horde night turned off since early Alpha 18. Jail doors have been removed, spikes have been removed, polished steel has been removed, under ground is no longer an option and the super strength zombies chew pretty much through everything else within seconds. Toothy and similar bases are...

 I always play on 120 minute days, I have to have the feeling that the day is worth something. Anything less is much too short for me and I've been doing this since I started playing way back when.

I expect there to be a chance right from the start. Knowing what I will get and when takes the fun out of looting. That's what the item quality levels are for, to limit you from getting the best from the start. Now we have two gates on looting, item levels and game stage. This takes away the...

Since I currently have the same opinion as Scyris on this alpha, I thought I'd throw in a counter argument. Below is a post from myself about a previous alpha.  " I have to agree. The new blocks and textures, the painting and all the POI upgrades in general look amazing and really make...

If you start the game from the "big picture mode" in steam the controller works fine, at least it did for me in A18.

So what, point still stands.

Well seeing as to how the streamers got it a week early I couldn't play and by the time that week was done, I had seen all I need to see. EVERY person I watched and I watched them all a bit, had an inventory full of them within like an hour so I find your statement hard to believe or maybe you...

I voted 1 because as is, I can't find the desire to even start a game after seeing so many blunderbusses on the Youtubers play through. That said I don't keep up with the dev diary so I had no idea what future plans were and after reading them now I find them very interesting.  The reason I...

Looks are subjective, fact.

Yeah this was pretty much my experience as well. Just got a new card and was looking forward to playing the new alpha and was instantly turned off by the performance. On top of what you mentioned I had some weird light that was around me that was showing when I moved the mouse, as if I had a...

I haven't even played A19 yet and will probably wait for A20. Was playing space engineers as it came out and nothing I saw pulled me over. I started A19 and had some weird gfx flicker (RTX 2060 Super) and with the other things I saw that annoyed me such as this topic here and the lack of love...

Not a fan of the loot either from what I have seen and read. One of the best things for me was running into a poi at the start where you had no business being and getting that lucky box giving you SOMETHING even if it was a good wrench or so. Risky but fun. Now I don't see a reason to go loot...

Yeah kinda miss it too. There was always this grass and stone grind so you had something to do the first few nights, you were really busy! Now a days I tend to just sit around after sorting a bit waiting for morning. Haven't played 19 yet so no idea how it is with new lighting.
