Excuse me? Where did I ever insult you? I joked around using imagery you brought up (tears of sadness and happiness) but I answered all your questions straight and true. I got it wrong that baseball bats could be perked into-- one mistake and it was because I got the book for making baseball bats in one of my playthroughs and didn't think about how I knew it. Madmole corrected my mistake but that doesn't mean everything I have answered you is inaccurate.
You even admitted to not even reading to the end of one of my posts which also had information you were asking about-- and that was a sincere and honest attempt to help you not to worry about what you haven't played yet. <shrug> If you ask questions and then can't even take the trouble to read the answers then why are you even here asking?
All I have been telling you is that your worries are unfounded. You can play and succeed using a playstyle that doesn't go heavy into questing and looting. You can be an intelligence guy and use some of the coolest new weapons in the game. The weapons and tools you will be able to craft will be bad ass for doing the amount of killing it sounds like you want to do.
Finally, all of this is still a work in progress. If you and others play and the feedback comes back that Intelligence is way too gimped, Madmole will sic the QA guys on it to verify and they will make adjustments. You turn the dial one way and then turn it back the other as you balance. You don't turn it one way and then abandon it because people who haven't played it and are speculating on the bits and pieces they know are having a sad and worried reaction to it.
Sorry you find me insulting. It isn't intentional. Wait...did you even read this past the first sentence.....?

Hey MM, just wondering is landmine around camp can instant kill 200 HP charater in A18?
And the vultures can chase up low speed vehical like minibike/bike and attack the player?
Thanks for all the great work that done by TFP, and the awesome game as well.

This is a general point question.
In your gameplay to day 84, how many absolute points did you earn to be used for purchase
and what was your personal ascension level was it a 1:1 ratio?
Also as you played did certain base attributes str int percep int agil unlock or advance as your
skillpoint level progressed or are they strictly through purchase, Not their sub trees?
Perks bought depend upon player pref, genre playstyle, and type of build during playthrough and the
occasional fatfinger oops, or what is this button for.
GS level depends on how hard I dig in and survive. So that will vary for me depending on how deep
a do a particular playthrough. Since you have release t ability to have the world clones in A17, I
have a constant 5 genworlds same same change in name only. On each I play differently to get a real feel
for how other Genres play using their rules. Actually 4 are for that, 1 is just for me to go Walkabout.
Thanks for that by the way. I like choices and flexibility. and chaos and dam:smile-new:ge.

And that is what I respect about you. Not only do you take feedback from the playerbase, but you love your own game. You are not blinded by your own vision either, but vision you have nonetheless. I can't say the same for many developers, even many indie developers. Now go and show those doubters a thing or two and create the greatest alpha in 7D2D history. (But just remember, perfection is impossible.
)My humble suggestion for you is to click on Madmoles profile and read through his posts. All of the information that you seek is there. It’s efficient since do not read all the chit chat from other people. Not all info is in the videos, most is in his posts. If you read his posts, he has addressed that purple(pink) weapons and tools are only found in loot so you can only craft up to blue, in more than one post. Also, in multiple posts he has discussed the addition of many non-dungeon poi’s......80ish if I remember correctly. You will feel less frustrated if you read just his posts. Pardon me if you already knew how to do this, just trying to help a frustrated brother.I just fear the game forcing players into looting for good stuff.
This won't be so bad if all the buildings are not just endless dungeon crawls. Since youre on here, could you please confirm the non dungeon POIs, and, if I may ask, do you have any plan to add an option for ratio? Dungeon to non dungeon that is?
And if no plans for options, how do you see the spread of dungeon to non dungeon POIs for random gen?
Re: your videos - I watched them, I just never recalled you saying what a poster recently stated here on the forums that quality 1 to 5 can be crafted, but quality 6 can only be looted.
You must be more forgiving for those users, like me, who see conflicting information and conjecture. I got the picture already by the way thanks to your reply to another user. I'm confident I understand your changes now.

I have no idea what ratios are, but there are plenty of smaller POIs that might not be a dungeon crawl, or a short one at that. Look for cabins and ruined buildings with holes and windows blown out. A garage, etc.I just fear the game forcing players into looting for good stuff.

The game is more loot centric now. It is true quality 6 is only found in loot. If you can craft the best stuff in the game, then the fun is instantly over once you do that. Not a fun game, we had that in A17. You can craft pretty nice stuff but the best is found risking your neck, which all of tfp believes is good for the game and has added many hours of enjoyment. This is Skyrim's biggest flaw, every build enchanting and smithing are must haves, removing desire to loot or keep sandboxing looking for better gear (like diablo)

In regards to the loot at the end of a POI. Just thinkin' outloud...
If during the exploration of a POI, following the "intended" path, there were the occasional numbers on the wall or such. In order to unlock the "master loot" chest, you had to put in a code. You could only unlock the master loot vault/chest if you took the time to write down the numbers that you saw as you went through the POI. Each POI that had a "master vault" like the Shotgun Messiah, etc. would have a randomized code with those numbers placed on the way up so it was kind of like a riddle to be solved. You could still unlock the other chests but the "Master loot" chest could only be opened by those who decided to take the full route.

Hey thanks for that Joe. It would have taken me awhile to get that set up for a screen shot.
Anyways Madmole, any chance of this coming back to the game?

I think its GuppyISalwaysRight, but that just doesn't sound right to me
No it's now GamidaIsGreat. For security reasons the pw is rotated. This one may stay for a while as no one in a million years would ever think of it.
This is not saying I want it changed but just a comment. That there is the reason. Well that and a lot of people play on servers. If you play on a server it is the owner/admin who has to change it. Lots of them out there play just the vanilla and want to leave it vanilla. So if it is not part of vanilla game then you are out of luck. All good for SP games though.
