    XPath Modding Explanation Thread

    Are there advanced ways to format the new CSV xpath to better construct lists like entitygroups? For example, I posted pictures of what I have in my mod and what the result in configs dump is. Why is it moving the first entity to the top and out of the group? And why is it moving what I've added...

    PC Alpha 21 Dev Diary

    While I wasn't initially a fan of the idea of taking away glass jars, I'm starting to agree with this change. It was a simple case of "oh look, they're taking another thing away and requiring you to think even less*... but I never really thought about the fact a player could go to any water...

    PC Alpha 21 Discussion Overflow

    I think the "small jabs" the video points out are just products of dealing with the unruliness in the community over the years. Its human. I can't say I'm a big fan of the recent direction the games been heading in either, but yelling and being unreasonable with the people who work on or for it...

    You have no idea how much of a relief it is to hear someone higher up admit to tier 6 being way too common is a problem. It absolutely cuts down the potential play time of the game. When you have the best of everything you lose reasons to keep looking. Same goes for things like airdrops giving...

    Allow us to mod in 600 item levels again.

    This may be a head tilter for some, but some of us loved having a ton of quality levels to work up to. It lengthened gameplay, as it took much longer to get the best equipment and lose the reason to go out looting anymore. Upgrades were frequent and the feeling of slowly becoming stronger lasted...

    I was expecting this reply. My point is understanding what could have caused that cut off, so myself and others I know can make an honest effort to improve how we enjoy this game. We fully realize its not the priority of the devs, we want to better know how to fix it ourselves.

    Huh. I wouldn't suppose theres a way to see a full list of under the hood changes done on certain patches for the modding community to look more into at least? For the past year its felt like a constant investigation with only a few clues found so far. For example, before A19.3 we could have 50...

    PC Alpha 21 Dev Diary

    In regards to the new engineer(s) brought on board earlier this year to possibly improve netcode, I would love any insider knowledge there might be or to know if any updates exist on this subject since this post was made: I realize changes to such things would likely be reserved to that of a...

    PC Multiplayer Sad State of Affairs

    Allowing 50 players =/= rust/dayz. We are here for 7 days. Player count has no bearing on the games identity, especially when we could have those player counts in the past in the same game. There is a reason we stayed here instead of going to the other games you mentioned, because they are...

    I was using an opportunity to vent further despite running past relevancy to his comment.

    Yes and unfortunately it's barely possible now, and every time I have been on these forums explaining in detail the state of things or how they could be improved, I am straight up bombarded by people who would have you believe the pimps can do no wrong nor have done any wrong. It simply comes...

    PC Multiplayer Sad State of Affairs

    The game being 22-23k active online players on average is not a negative. While it sure felt like there was an exodus with the sheer amount of large pop-servers that got killed off by 20.4, the harsh truth is it didn't even dent the game. The devs do not need to improve netcode or help large...

    PC Please rescue Multiplayer in A20 !!!

    So you don't have a horse in this race. Can't say there are no issues when you don't even participate in part of the game we're addressing concerns with. I've stopped taking "its alpha though" as an excuse. Alphas are supposed to improve over time, or eventually turn into betas. We've...

    PC Multiplayer Sad State of Affairs

    I dont think its them wanting to *kill* multiplayer, they just have different priorities and large population was never something they have beholden themselves to, unfortunately. And despite all the big servers dying off because of it, the game remains at 15k+ currently playing on steam, so...

    PC A20.5 EXP

    Nothing to do with client FPS. I'm talking about netcode, or whatever they added or changed in 20.4 that made the netcode go from bad to worse.
