The thread started out as me wanting INT to get a ranged option themed to the playstyle that it can use right from the start.   Again and again and again I have stated that endgame INT is very strong.  And just as often, I have stated that putting a dedicated firearm into INT will not change...

Shotguns fit strength well enough that i wouldn't want to see it move.  I always felt it was wierd that Bows and Crossbows were bound together, Thats why i suggested crossbows move over to INT, as it requires no great physical prowess to load and fire one, which fits INT more than a straight...

That just means we agree that Pipe MG should be brought into line with the other Pipe Guns so it isn't just the defacto best choice for everyone XD And no, i don't want guarantees.  I want a progression curve, rather than a progression right angle lol   I wonder what effect on balance...

Lets be fair, they did that because the Pipe MG is busted compared to the other Pipe guns lol, TFP badly need to address Pipe Guns to bring a bit of parity there.  And yeah, this 1.0 release has been a hilarious tale of seeing youtuber playthroughs getting Stun Batons out of POI random loot...

Primitive Sledge would significantly help to make up for the lack of punch in its unperked gunplay. Primitive Junk Turret in the same vein could be an extra, But i doubt that would fly, bnased on the responses thus far. First week, are you pulling your pipe gun and unloading on Arlenes? Hell...

Well at least you agree it's a tax, lol.  Adding primitive versions of what INT will do later wont change the endgame balance at all.  INT pre Stun Baton and Junk Turret is an entirely different experience. Its this period that needs some TLC.  I called out needing the Workbench along with...

The Pipe Baton has crowd control?! I have explained multiple times that that when INT has a fully loaded Stun Baton and Turrets, it is quite powerful.  The problem, as i have also stated multiple times, is that all of those toys are LATE GAME additions to INT gameplay.  What i have been...

I don't think anyone would argue about Strength being overtuned lol My issue with Intellect as it currently stands is that it has no early game dedicated ranged weapon. You're stuck predominantly in melee with handicapped stats on the most handicapped guns the game has to offer lol In...

So its not a problem that an attribute tree can best be described as: Play something else until lategame, then respec Put your points into another attribute because the attributes own weapons suck You dont see how that is an issue? All the other attributes are really good in the early...

No, you're right, it is 4, my bad lol See, the problem isnt just the loss of 20% damage from the specific gun perk. Its also the loss of the extra 40% headshot damage from the attribute line, Not to mention the dismember chance.  Less damage dealt per shot is more ammo spent per target...

To get to 2 levels of a gun perk from another tree you have to spend 5 Skill Points.  For no reason other than "TFP said its the hard mode" There should be no such thing as a "novice" and "hard" option. It should entirely be playstyle preference with all the trees being equally viable...

2 problems with that statement.   No, Intellect is not any better than any other Attribute for building a base. If anything, Strength has the largest advantage for building a base due to easy access to Mining perks.  And like i said, Lategame Intellect is very strong. But only once you...

Why does Intellect have no dedicated ranged weapon option aside from the late game Junk Turret? It would be fine if we had some sort of primitive version of the Junk Turret to match the era of Pipe Guns, But we dont. We have to wait until deep into the crafting books to eventually craft the...

I still think all the harvesting and non weapon perks should go over into their own tree Always feels like a kick in the teeth to have to put a dozen points into Strength for the Heavy Armor perk knowing that those points to unlock level 7 Strength to enable all 4 levels of Heavy Armor will do...

It would help, even with a selfish donkey reading every magazine without sharing.  Reason being, the OP described a situation with at least 3 players.  If 2 of them are looting, the guy who holds mags for the OP is going to get the boosted chance, with which they'll be able to share relevant...
