I also have 3 points in it and it doesn't seem to be helping much. Luckily, I'm playing with 2 other friends who are specializing in other stuff. If the comment further above is right about a compass full of stuff at 5 points, then I'm just going to go for it.
Sounds like it may not be worth it...
I think shotguns shoot through wood doors now. That may provide a reason to use them in certain situations and other guns in other situations. I think they stun enemies better than the handgun too.
@MadMole,
Is it probable that you'll release A18 on Sunday instead of Monday if all goes well with the streamers (e.g., not major bugs or issues? It would be nice to play on the weekend.
Are minor bugs you're finding leading up to A18 release still being fixed? For example, will the minor bug you noted with the workbench (collider being too big) be fixed before release. I'm looking forward to the new mods and all the fixes for bugs from A17. I hope they've all been worked out!
I disagree about the flares and agree about the snakes. I get that it's a game but snakes don't just pursue giant prey. I think snakes should be like pigs and deer and just do their own thing unless provoked. And if you say they're zombie snakes.. well... that's just silly.
Will throwables like grenades have their mechanics upgraded in a coming Alpha? It would be great to have adjustable/manual throwing distances to make explosives game play more dynamic/fun.
So you're wrong, or you play really obscure games. And you missed the point anyway. Auto-reload is not a good/fun game mechanic. Can probably argue that's the reason manual reload is in so many games.
All Tom Clancy games, All Resident Evil games, All Halo games, All Battle Royal games, All Quake games, All Doom Games, All Duke Nukem games, Destiny Games, That Wii zombie game, etc etc etc
Totally agree. Most of the game consists of killing zombies or running around them. The lack of attention to gun mechanics/working gun animations is a serious handicap for any player.
I agree. I've never heard of another shooter or survival game that has auto-reload guns. People don't like it. It just takes game-play choices away from the player(s) - PvE and PvP alike.
