    PC Alpha 20 Dev Diary

    This goes back to ad hominem, however if it puts your mind at ease knowing - my developers create office software. Primarily for inventory management, client/contact management, advertising software, and automated analysis software. Most projects range from 1-2 years, though we do offer live...

    PC Alpha 20 Dev Diary

    I didn't intend for this to become personal, but if you want to dangle the ham, I'll bite. I'll start by saying that this is a fairly clear ad hominem fallacy. You're stating that my input is not valid, because I am not a company like TFP, but am only an employee, which has nothing to do with...

    PC Alpha 20 Dev Diary

    It was stated to be releasing end of october, then november, now december. These were statements by official TFP team members, on the official A20 development resource, on the official TFP website on when A20 would be expected to release. Try working a job, telling your boss "Yup, I should have...

    PC Alpha 20 Dev Diary

    Remind me how well cyberpunk and anthem are doing? I honestly don't know, because their system didn't work for me and I stopped paying attention to them. Cyberpunk a year after the trailer without any sort of updates except for "no known release", then when it did release, at that point I...

    PC Alpha 20 Dev Diary

    The problem is that The Fun Pimps have a long history of absent project management. Lack of roadmap, lack of planned deliverables, massive scope creep, multiple failed release dates for deliverables, etc. For example, A20 has been officially delayed two times and will be the first content...

    PC Knuckle Wraps - a little love tap?

    To clarify, I went in with about 75% food bar, came out with about 70~, never hit 100%. So to be perfectly fair, yes, if I ate all the items at the same time they may have hit over 25%, but getting them all in one PoI and eating them as I went, I never got a total of 25% gain. This was also a...

    PC Knuckle Wraps - a little love tap?

    I've been doing a number of world starts trying different setups with knuckle wraps / early fortitude build, and they just... really fall flat every time. I've tried with varying levels in brawler, iron gut, and flurry of blows.  I'm wondering if other people have tried it and how their...

    PC Alpha 18 feedback and balancing thread

    I get that gamestage has multipliers, and that multipliers can be adjusted. But what I'm looking for is not to multiply the gamestage, but to accelerate its rate of growth. I'm not just looking to make the game harder overall, but to make it accelerate to an "impossible" point. Make it so the...

    PC Alpha 18 feedback and balancing thread

    One thing I would like for balance is to have an adjustment for gamestage rate. Allow me to explain: I can appreciate the slower leveling and long term gameplay recent updates have gone for, and I think it's great for a large number of players. Myself however, prefer the idea of burning hot. To...

    PC Hunting Rifle

    This. I don't see it under current bug reports or known issues. Certainly this isn't intended. If I'm no longer holding ADS with manual ADS, regardless of what events are taking place, I shouldn't be in ADS. This is my biggest problem with the hunting rifle. Other than that, I'd love it. I...

    PC Do you hate crafting?

    No, because I don't "feel" forced into the looting path, I "am" forced into the looting path. Crafting has been removed as an endgame option. I'm not choosing that. If crafting endgame items was an option, *and* it was more efficient to craft endgame items than loot them, only then does someone...

    PC Do you hate crafting?

    Just like how players could have ignored that they could have crafted q6 items and only played to loot them? Do that if you want, it was a fine strategy. going for a build that gives points specifically to looting is not "razor's edge" min-maxing. Min maxing is being able to craft q6 and...

    PC Do you hate crafting?

    So I'm trying to get all the eggs in one basket. Players: - Want specialization to allow them to specialize in item power Developers: - Want loot to be the single source of end game items What if specialization impacted looting? Drop lucky looter, and each point you put into something...

    PC Do you hate crafting?

    I think this pretty much hit the nail on the head for my perspective. I'm not sure why Roland is saying this is a sudden thing, we had some discussion back after the drop regarding uncraftable bow parts and all the same complaints were being brought forward. But this is the biggest point of the...

    PC Un-craftable wooden bow parts...

    I noticed logging in today that "wooden bow parts" are gone, and there is now a combined "crossbow / bow parts". I may still have yet to find a wooden bow, but at least now I've been able to make a wooden bow, and would have in my previous playthrough as I had found no shortage of crossbows...
