As someone that owns a 7.62x39 AK variant irl, I just gotta say the damage the bears can take is just insanely unrealistic. I went through almost a full clip on a living bear, point blank range to the face, before I killed it. Bears are tough yeah, but they ain't taking more than 1-2 rounds from a AK especially headshots.. I can punch neat bullet sized holes in 3/8 " thick mild steel plate with mine, shooting fmj standard issue russian ammo.

You better be a hunter in real life because a quick google search says you will have a tough time with a bear. Literally the first thing looking up that gun and a bear is "An AK-47 chambered in 7.62 by 39 is ok for Bear defense but the only way you're going to be able to kill it or put it down quickly is putting multiple rounds through it." Man people literally like to complain about everything without looking things up and for some reason everyone joins in believing it without question. Anyway bears are tough, not every exact vital organ is going to be simulated in a game that isn't a bear hunting game either.  I don't think the realism argument works based on how strong real bears can be though.

They must follow their idea and evolve it to be good enough as they stated in their Kickstarter. And they will keep following it. 

Pimps keep in mind lots of the feedback we gave, but if it is a critique that doesn`t meet their either plans or timeline, it is off talk.

Many of us have personal wishes and this is not a place, where if you repeat hard enough something, it will get in. 

That is how many brilliant mods are made, but not gonna discuss it in this topic. Cheers ;)

Not going to lie, when I realized the gloves were doing that I for a second was slightly disappointed that I still had a torso and legs since I had pieces slotted there too lol.  Would be hilarious to just be a floating head because I am missing a helmet xD

People don't understand game design and balance. Bears are supposed to be a tough challenge to deal with, regardless of real life. It wouldn't be fun to just mow down bears left and right.

I literally don't understand the clamor of permadeath people. Is it that hard to hit Exit Game after you die?
Click to expand...
its the no going back, you can't die and then decide oh well I'm just going to keep playing. If you choose permadeath your in the hotseat, make it work or die and its over. Having the option actually in the game will bring more legitimacy to playthoughs, I'd like to see more things actually taken away by choosing this option like you can't turn on god mod, can't go into the item menu more things I can't think of right now, anything that forces you to play the game as it is. This is THE test, can you handle the simulation or only think you can. I've suggested a watermark or image to show game mod and difficulty whether the game has been modded but TFP are not interest in such things. Why? Read my post above along with all competitiveness is out the window in favor of promoting cooperative gameplay cause its what the default builders would want and its easier to do. 

If you don't play at a diff/speed/settings that challenges you you'll never never understand.

let them take their time, we're going to have to live with this for the next four months to a year and I for one would like to not have random lag spikes. How long have you been here? You should know the answer before you even asked the question.

Realism arguments doesn't work at all actually. And in the end, the game literally has RNG stats and levels for weapons, nothing in this game is realistic and it plays more like an rpg than anything else. People are blind if they don't see that. But honestly i really like reading these gun nutties boasting about the weapons n @%$*#! when in reality a videogame focused on realism would be boring as @%$*#!. What goes easy for you, goes easy for the NPCs aswell, otherwise you are unbalancing the situation by casually making it easier for you, defending the "hur dur realism". Want realism? I know american houses are made out of paper but try smashing through a concrete or brick house, try to gather materials and build a house from scratch yourself, try CRAFTING AMMO AND WEAPONS by yourself.

Realism works both ways, and for that reason, will never work in a videogame, unless it's a simulation solely focused on that. A good game is defined by good game design and balance decisions, not mimicking real life.

No armor, night vision goggles, maxed out skills and prayers that the game doesn't provide a sleeper with 20 points into perception :)

Cloth is good! its quite, Light, and makes you look chunky!

could use a new look though! 

I don't like NVG mostly due to the tunnel vision, but i can uses them if i have too!

I wonder when junk drones will make it to a stable patch, they're the reason I want to try Int next.
Click to expand...
its fun to do int! but it is lacking! mostly in the melee and ranged department.

Madmole said something about a pipe baton for A20 and i hope that will mean a tier 3 baton!

and for ranged weapons maybe a Air gun that shoots Junk ammo! and maybe you could make new junk ammo, Like Fire, Frag and Shock! (i may update my idea for Intellect weapons)

but in robots it nice! all we need is the Junk drone!

He literally thinks all his forum comments are going to amaze everyone and get them to watch his YT channel with 5 videos on it. Liz Labs has 50k views and isn't doing anything hard in this game.

If you enjoy watching that then power to you and good for her

Never said I did, but I don't think a watermark and calling content creators cheaters and cheeselords is really your best marketing, but hey I could be wrong. I don't think anyone that watches Twitch and reads your comments can't guess who you sub to and trash on here lol. Anyway, have fun when you get your permadeath.

I don't think he's trying to insult content creators actually. He's mostly talking about having options to toggle on an off certain restrictions when creating the world so you don't have the "So i did a lil minin off camera".
