I assume it is an alpha and is open to changes and that were a problem I would not buy.
buy game - rust (ALPHA)- being a zombie post-apocalypse game and now there are no zombies.
and it is understood what madmole wants to say but many times they lose the forms and when someone releases an opinion it is automatically invalid and does not represent the community..
If what the community thinks does not represent the community then I do not understand anything. Lbd is a clear example of a massive demand from the large community and the developers do not try to reach an intermediate point between the current system of progression and LBD.
LBGrinding isn't a good fit for our game since we expanded into many attributes and specific perks and abilities. It cannot fit where we need to go. Lets not confuse the disgruntled old community with the happy new player base who isn't vocal. If you look at "recent reviews" they are virtually all positive with the exception of older players with lots of hours talking about the old days. If we went back to LBG we'd upset our current fans who outnumber the disgruntled by a large portion.
As I've said repeatedly I think most people will like where we are headed for A18. Its not one system, its the sum of its parts that make the whole in a game like this. The big foul we made was removing need to loot and having too many must have perks. Now you can do anything nearly without a ton of perks, but not do it as well.
Its human nature that happy people are not complaining. So there are lots of new players enjoying the game, with no complaints, so no need to come here and complain or talk about it. People who are unhappy are going to be making noise, so the truth is most players are really happy and not complaining but the LBG crowd is still upset and complaining so it appears the community wants something, but the community is actually happy with 17.2.
One more case in point. I started TRT about 5 years ago and went bald. I new about Finisteride, a drug that blocks DHT but I read about it and the forums said it killed your libido forever and that made me scared as hell. I tried saw palmetto and even topical rogain, but that was all BS. But fear kept me from trying finisteride.
As I looked in the mirror and was going to shave my head I decided to talk to someone about it. They said "This drug is used by millions of people. Most of them grew their hair back and were happy and moved on with their life. A very small percentage used it and had libido problems and freaked out, went on the internet talking about it, and created all this bad reputation for the drug.
The truth is millions of people got their hair back. So I took the gamble, 3 months into it now and my 5" bald spot in the back is now the size of an egg with hair covering most of it, libido is great and my prostrate must have shrunk too because I sleep all night without peeing now. I also hot flash less, from having normal hormone levels. So this drug was the best thing to happen to me in years. Had I listened to the disgrunted loudmouths instead of relying on facts, I'd have been totally bald by now and have more health issues.
Back to the game, we're doing everything we can to make everyone happy but we have to move forward not backwards. Once balanced we feel the new system will offer way more quality game play choices and avoid grindy loopholes LBG has.
