yeah not to fond of gear for non intel builds being locked behind an intel build perk of that level. should be more like hey, you seem pretty perceptive/strong/ agile &lt;insert stat desc here&gt; I got some specialized gear that might interest you.

 
"The culture of the vultures speak of a feather lost in dreary weather. The tale of a bird written by your flustered neighborhood nerd. I digress, do not protest. Pluck vultures everywhere, and raid their nests." - Sage, after getting bit in the a** by one of these flapping, flying feather dusters

Bad weekend for me. In three separate games I died on day 2 or 3, the same way each time. Always a wolf while I'm chopping down a tree. By the third game I was super paranoid, taking 5 or so swings at a tree, then stopping to take a look around. A junk turret would have helped, but none to be found so soon in any of these games. In the last game a miner was coming toward me, so I shot a couple arrows at him, and then the wolf from behind, instant bleed. As I wrapped it while running, the next bite... bleed, wrap, and yet again with the bite and bleed, then dead. I have no problems with any animals if I know they're there. I'll even take on bears with a bow sometimes if I absolutely have to. I'm calling cheap deaths as I rage quit for the weekend, lol.

The blunderbuss is the gimmick item that you only use one or twice for the sake of using it, like the night vision goggles. :p

Before the days of traders and when guns were pretty rare we used to craft them to get started.

 
I don't know if I hate that or people who leave negative reviews for games they've spend thousands of hours on more. I mean with that amount of time they've already gotten their money's worth and obviously enjoyed it enough to spend a lot of time on it, so why leave a bad review?

Those bastards took 2000 hours of my life away! Stay away from this game it will consume your soul!

 
MadMole, what happened to your mancrush Kelvin Fatstelum? :) lol
Judges almost robbed Till. Horrible fight tho, ugh
Click to expand...
For such a great card it kind of a POS. Fatselum didn't fight half the fight he did against Adesanya. Wonder Boy showed he's still got it, but Luque didn't get him into a clinch and throw knees, which is how he always wrecks everyone. Black Beast clearly lost but since he's a fan favorite they gifted him a win.

Kevin Lee, wow training with GSP has turned him into a new man. Gillespie though needs to go down to 145, he is TINY.

Walker...WTF. As soon as he said he wants to show the world he's not just a knockout artist and can go the distance I cringed. Dude you are nitrogycerin shut up and KO dudes. He pranced around and didn't throw anything, and it was clear that Anderson was intimidated, but eventually he's like ♥♥♥♥ it and started throwing and caught the guy. Walker doesn't have the best chin but he's dangerous as hell IF HE THROWS. He failed to throw and didn't fight how he gets it done and it cost him.

Burgos Delivered, that guy is just a brawler but his size won the fight for him.

That Edman guy, holy hell, 21 years old and puts Tavaraz away effortlessly in the first round.

That black guy who wrecked Arlovski is nasty everyone will be ducking him.

Masvidal is the real deal, he has improved a lot. Very snappy with good combos and nasty elbows. I am sure he will get a title fight against Usman/Covington winner. Too bad they stopped the fight that cut wasn't so bad. He made Diaz look stupid. Undercards were better than the main event for the most part. Masvidal delivered until it was abruptly ended at least.

And we improved these quite a bit, they howl before they attack now, before they were just stealth biters. Some people complained were dumbing it down lol. They are still super nasty.

Yeah, I remember them doing that after those changes. I've heard it in action before and it was definitely helpful.

I'm not sure what happened. I may have lost focus, or maybe something else.

In one case it was raining, and as soon as it stopped, I could tell that a world spawn was triggered because suddenly there were zombies nearby. If a wolf spawns in an area you are already at, would it howl? If a wolf is going for a zombie and changes its mind and heads at you, will it still howl?

 
Well A18 is a treacherous game, filled with death at every step! I finally got my 25 death "Achievement" and I must say I am now "The Most Interesting Survivor in the world!"

I don't always fight zombies... but when I do, I choose Dos Club! Dos Club... when you want to live til hoard night! :)

 
Enthusiasm, I'm not sure. :p Being a hermit has its downsides; social situations are not my strong suit. Lol (In other words, weirdness/oddness is frowned upon, and rightfully so.)
Still, it's the best we've got.

Welcome to the hermit club lol. I feel yah, it sure does tend to have a negative impact upon ones social skills and or social behavior. :)

Hey now, as a stealth player that does not adjust gamma or brightness (I prefer the more realistic graphics, I.E. dark shadows) NVGs are a must have and without them... its just not possible to play after the sun sets. :)

 
This is not a bug. What is missing from the GUI is a method to craft weapons of a lower quality to prevent craft deadlocks because you level the perk faster than you find parts.
Incidentally that would have been another reason in A17 to suicide :cocksure:

Not that easy. There are games you can finish in 20 minutes and have no replay value.

ahh very true but I'm talking about games that take more than 25+ hours to play. The games that are tiny and take only a few hours is not included when I made my statement. :)

Ah well, the gif was too large and it converted it to an image apparently lol.

The best way I found to post gifs here is to post a direct link to the site hosting it or upload it to https://postimages.org/ then post a link to the uploaded image.

 
is there a graphics setting to turn off the "dust" storms. smoke effect?? i look at the sky and i get 60fps i look at the ground and i get 60 fps i look at the building accross the street in a desert biome 7fps!! the only difference i see is that loking up or down i dont see the dust clouds passing slowly by gpu is at 50% usage 60 fps vsync on with no dust. as soon as the dust clouds start 100% gpu usage and 7 fps.

The only thing I hate about this game right now from the bottom of my heart is that quests don't have a warning for the player leaving the quest area and just pop failed.

It's a common mistake for players to do Fetch and Clear Multiplayer quests and forget the Fetch part and screw your 3 hours clearing it without fair warning.

NEGATIVE REVIEW INCOMING :strawberry:

 
I'm not gonna say you are lying I just have trouble wrapping my head around that. are you saying you prefer the blunderbuss to later shotguns or just that you like it as a T1. I guess I can see the latter I just can't see Regularly using a gun that blows it's load on 1 shot even if it hit like a freight train. Reloading in a bad situation is death, Especially early on. I'd rather have a pistol or SMG (both of which I personally find are much easier to acquire far earlier than a pump shotgun) Where I can kill more than one (or two because of AOE on the buss) Zombies with a clip before I gotta reload. It's actually the same problem I have with the double barrel but it still gets 2 shots and reloads twice as fast.
I guess my problem with the shotgun progression Is that it really feels like there is a lack thereof. the Double barrel Feels only marginally better than the Blunderbuss and then the pump Sits in line with most of the t2 weapons instead of the t3's it's supposed to match.
Click to expand...
100% accurate. The double barrel is as useless as it gets really; either there is 1 or 2 zombies that could get dispatched without ammo, or there is more and it's a death sentence to use it and having to reload. A 2-bullet close-range weapon just doesn't fit this game, pump should be T2 and there should be a fully fledged T3 that kicks ass. Shotguns are barely usable before you get a decent pump and by that time you'd be better off having specialized into something else anyways.
