I'm end game now on our current playthrough. We moved into the snow biome before the second blood moon even so we were dealing with 50% frequency storms (biome progression off) since very early on when we barely even had bicycles. Honestly, it might actually need to be changed. But not...

Master Chef is debatable single player. It certainly saves time and fuel and helps you get to better foods FASTER (magazine weighting from skill points still makes a big difference) but you can certainly do without it. In Multiplayer Master Chef is quite good when you're cooking for 3+ people...

You are not blocked from Traversal. I dunno why people keep saying that. 1) You have like 70 seconds of warning to get to a POI before the storm hits. 2) The storm will take about 10 hits to kill you. That's another 70+ seconds. You can go a long long way in that time. I've tested it via...

I wouldn't say that, they've clearly done well so far considering player numbers and player growth over years. While its true no design can please everyone perfectly some designs are better than others at reaching the vast majority of people's satisfaction. And the even wider ranging major...

The problem with each of these quotes is that for each person their answer is correct. The issue is that this affects everyone. So each person's ideal game is someone else's nightmare lol. Most players would hate movement speed slows and attack speed slows in the storm. Not only that but...

That's 3 comments saying "do something" but without actually saying WHAT something. The feedback you'd prefer something other than damage is valuable, but unfortunately only of very limited value without more. For instance you say "debuffs" Ok, lets look at debuffs: - Move slower: When has...

We're all getting used to the new system. but its 13 damage every 13 seconds after like 70+ seconds of advanced warning. You have a ton of time to decide if you can make it home or where exactly you want to ride it out. You actually have alot of choices. It's more than 60 seconds of full...

I can't agree that storms are that bad. Earlier today I cleared and looted the Lumbermill while a storm was raging. I made it to the little security building in front of the front gate right before the storm started. Then I ran out and aggro'd the zombies in the piled log maze and ran back...

I still have pretty good night vision from all my time spent up at nights as a kid and then graveyard shifts. Unless its pitch black outside, which is rare, I can normally see decently at night. I don't get games that try to make night time pitch black. I still remember playing Rust when it...

Unfortunately you can't make the smell work while its in a container or people would just put a few slices of meat in boxes and then molotov, pipe bomb or etc the resulting clump of zombies. It'd just become the new most efficient way to herd zombies for easy AOE farming.

I think the downside to that solution is it again pushes the trader as being more important. Some people have a really hard time avoiding being addicted to the trader because its the easiest most brain off way to progress. And that doesn't mean that they like that loop either. I've got a...

Randomness, in these cases, is always hard to balance. Because unlike an ARPG where you're taking better and better rolls this is very much on on/off binary "you got it" or "you didn't" thing for most areas of progression. The more random it is, the bigger the payoff, but the more frustrating...

I would definitely not sell any of it as DLC, but yes any additional cosmetics with maybe more eventually, from the old sets would be better than none IF implementing them all would be significant dev work.

Just as the title says I think that all the old removed clothing looks should be added to the new vanity system so that people who want to walk around in those looks can do so and are not forced to look like one of the armor sets. This idea came to me when a friend of mine mentioned he missed...

I don't think some folks really understand that additional randomness is a value add for them but often a game breaker or creates clear quit points for others. I've been here long enough I remember the weeks long searches for things like calipers and beakers as RNG repeatedly said no. If...
