I never said they never used FOMO ever. They just haven’t used them for microtransactions by limiting them to a season as many games do. Microtransactions is kind of the context for the conversation and the 1.0 launch was not a microtransaction. I’m sure people felt FOMO about the reduced...

I didn't disagree that they are microtransactions. I was talking about the objectionable aspects of microtransactions some of which you, yourself, brought up. Purchase point is in-game Limited time offer during a season to capitalize on FOMO Pay to Win Purchased content disappears when game is...

But that is essentially the way it is now. I never have to see the store when I start my game. The place to shop is an entirely separate page online from where I click to play the game. Even in the opening ad space, I can click skip immediately without looking at any offerings and even if I do...

I did not get that from your posts. Sorry. In that case, why do you believe that the changes to progression was not a refining process? They have utilized elements such as xp earning, LBD, skillpoint shopping, books/schematics/magazines, and attributes in a variety of different combinations...

There's better ways of getting rid of infection Sillls....

Only by throwing yourself out of a window or lying down on some train tracks can you be sure, Leonardo...

Ironically, "semantics" doesn't seem to mean to you what it means to anyone else. To most people, "arguing semantics" is having a discussion trying to refine and agree on the exact definition and meaning of a word. To you, "semantics" seems to mean "I don't like your question and I'm not going...

Not at all. I don’t wish to argue over the meaning of vision. I think we are on the same page about what that means. I wanted to give you an opportunity to share more deeply about your opinion by providing details. I shared exactly the details that I believe support my opinion that their...

Yeah. It seems that was toned down a lot at some point. Mining was literally gambling your life away if you hit anything above you. The death by curtain rod has never happened again but I always treat them like zombies now: hit and jump back haha

Once years ago I chopped down the bath curtain in a bathroom and the rail at the top fell on my head and instantly killed me. I’m always worried that it will happen again.

I wonder what conspiracy theories the horse and buggy manufacturers had about Ford about 100 years ago during the “Horseless Carriage Bubble”.

TFP has a separate sandbox mode planned with a huge list of options and toggles currently being compiled. I don’t know how feasible it would be to create a toggle for skillpoint shopping/ learn by doing as that seems like a massive amount of development and a huge overhaul— but I guess it could...

It is my belief that the vision never changed. It has been rock solid since the Kickstarter campaign. That’s my opinion based on following the development over the last 12 years. If you see three different visions for the game at different times then you ought to be able to define what each one...

I’d be more interested in the small stack of books. Who knows what machine gun crafting tips I might get from Costa Rica and the Greek Isles.

This thread is an example of the impossibility to please everyone. Streamlining the recipe to not require intermediate components would draw criticism from people and here we see that adding intermediate steps draws criticism from you guys. There are popular mods that add quite a few...
