(Sorry for the late reply - catching up on this thread.) It's because the game is more CPU bound @ 1080p versus 1440p. This game is heavily CPU bound, and appears to be worse in A20 than A19 (I am having MUCH worse framerate issues in this version versus past versions). I'm sure they'll get to...

Seconding this. Still very frustrated by arrows and bolts that very clearly fly THROUGH the zombie character model inflicting zero damage. Head, neck, torso, doesn't seem to matter anymore. I've witnessed this too many times at ranges close enough to verify the actual trajectory of the arrow...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one experiencing this! My FPS will start out fine (locked at 60 FPS), but the longer I play sooner or later I will just hit a spike that dumps my FPS into the 20s or less, without warning, and will not go away without a restart (not really possible when hosting a MP...

Which is the difference between a Tier 1 item, and a Tier 2 item - not to be confused with Quality Levels. Quality affects stat ranges, and mod slots (Q1-Q2 = 1 mod slot, Q3-Q4 = 2 mod slots, Q5 = 3 mod slots, Q6 = 4 mod slots). It is possible for a lower Qlvl item to have higher stats than a...

You are comparing a "loaded" bow with an unloaded one. Unequip the level 1 (to remove the loaded arrows), and compare them side by side in your inventory. You will find the damage values the same. All Primitive weapons have the same damage (increased levels increase durability). All...

Ah, that makes sense (context matters! :smile-new: )- creating your own mini-game/goals within the confines of the game that isn't strictly fed to you. Similar to my constant desire to make an underground farm "just because" - nothing in the game rewards me for it, but I find the end objective...

I wasn't trying to knock it - honestly just curious, because I don't see it. As I've said, I have NMS and love playing it - I take great enjoyment out of all the mining and crafting, but waiting for it all to refine is boring as hell (although when it's finally all done, that is rewarding, but...

Then go out and fight at night (they have an entire perk book set dedicated to it called Nightstalker), or dig a hole in the ground and mine (just make sure you're more than 30 blocks deep if you don't want to rile the neighbors). Why is it more fun waiting on the Forge to melt down Iron Ore...

Your editing of my post in quote, and missing the point entirely, continues to make me laugh. Thank you for that. Weapon parts exist as a variable to control the pace of gameplay. You can argue it's cludgy, and I certainly would agree, but it's what we have. It's gating for the sake of pace and...

The irony in your statement is killing me. Thanks for the chuckle. That is a valid point, however the reason those other changes were implemented is the same reason as this one. This isn't Rimworld or Space Engineers or Subnautica though, and the gameplay loop they are moving towards is a less...

Straw man. Raw Iron was only ever used in a recipe to create Iron. It was a "basic" building block that only had one pathway, and one step. Cement, which is made from Small Rocks and Sand (itself which can be made from Small Rocks), is the end of a larger chain: Small Rocks -> Sand, plus...

Need more info to make proper suggestions. What difficulty setting, and what other adjustments? What character level? What Perk specs? What weapons and ammunition is available? For your first night, a basic building will be fine. If you have time, chop down a few trees and upgrade the bottom...

How awesome would it be to have a Flare Gun in the game? Or a Flare ammunition for the shotguns? Am I the only one who thinks this would be great? Is it possible to just do away with paint in its entirety, as far as loot goes, and simply build it into a radial menu for the Paint Brush? Maybe do...

Speculation, but it sounds like Iron content from mining iron veins is equivalent to the Forge ratio of Iron from Iron ore (i.e. if a vein yielded 100 Iron Ore, it will now yield 500 Iron). As for the stack size, I'm guessing it is unchanged - so you can call that a stealth nerf to Iron carrying...

In what world is 7 Days to Die in the same gameplay ballpark as Borderlands, Destiny, and Warframe? This whole "looter shooter" argument is bunk.
