Both Kage and Bearded guys are seeing duct tape shortages because so much needs duct tape now... maybe it needs a looting bump?
No they just don't play like a pro yet. Harvest every corpse on the road, hit a few barns, kill dogs and vultures, harvest harvest harvest. I have 100 duct tape sitting in a box, and I repair EVERY Q2 and above item I find. Those bull skulls in the desert? HARVEST EM. Once you get a chem station the recipe is cheaper and you'll swim in it, like anything in this game IF you put the effort in. They walk right by bones and so I can't blame them for not having enough.

 
Ok but still, displaying +X to something isn't very useful if you have to compare lots of stats. +X is a relative number and doesn't give you a sense of actual value and is much harder to memorize. It is much better to show 2 actual damages side by side. I can calculate the difference myself but I will have a much easier time knowing my general level of stats.

For example: My current gun does about 50 damage VS it does +12 dmg compared to another gun i used to have and which stats i can't recall.
It shows the actual damage though before the + or -.

Good to know you were on top of that. Kage should have had plenty since he was suffering in that desert the whole time...lol!

my head hurts now i need a drink
I'll drink to that!

 
When its ready.
Madmole, can you confirm the steel armor has the armor rating scale correctly with random values and correct default values?

I saw something weird in the streamings, like Blue quality steel armor always has 15 armor rating and the Pink one always 13 or something.

I think what he's trying to say is that it's not intuitive. Which I agree with, it's a confusing way to display stat comparisons, I'd show their raw damage side by side.

Agreed.

Because there is no secondary window showing the current items stats.

No, it shows the looted item's actual damage before the +/-. It does not show the EQUIPPED item's actual damage, which is what he is (and frankly, I myself am) asking for. Just show us the existing equipped item's stat in the parentheses. Figuring out if that + represents your equipped item or the one you're looking at is non-intuitive and hard to remember.

 
When its ready.
Even though it will all but kill some people - take your time and make sure it is ready as can be.

As it is, I probably won't be able to play until Tuesday night Eastern time. Monday is Scouts with my son and by the time that is done I will be all but needing to hit the bed so I can get up for work on Tuesday. However, my office will be close Monday the 14th for Columbus Day and the wife still has to work and the kids have school. So I will get almost a whole day to myself to play until my eyes bleed.

idk what to say :(
But you had to say something!
yesssss
 
Imagine grown adults throwing tantrums because some people get to play a video game 3 days before them. If you could travel back in time how would you even begin to explain that to someone from the 19th century lol
Where are you getting the idea that people in the 19th century were any better behaved?

The Sherlock Holmes story "The Final Problem" was supposed to be the last story Arthur Conan Doyle wrote for the character. After several death threats and many pieces of homoerotic fan-fiction being sent for his approval Mr Doyle decided to continue the character himself. :-)
