:) come back after you try a21 as changes have been made. will it be perfect? and probably never will because everyone has a different aspect on how it should be. but it has changed and i feel it is for the better this time. all previous changes were just practice. :)

As you said yourself, everyone has a different idea of how it should be. For you it is better but for others it will be worse.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the idea that now it's all about looting or how to call it "gambling".

Have you watched what became of Blizzard over the past few years?

What will be released june 6th will be a totally unbalanced and buggy mess.

That little piece of content you were able to "beta" in the PTR during the last few weeks does say nothing about the long term. It's a small ingame-preview, not more.

On release, it will be in a state that TFP wouldn't even dare to call "pre-ante-experimental-alpha".

D3 did grow to what it is over years. 1st release iteration was BS. And that even was when the original Blizzard team was still together.

And D2 got really good with D2R, when they finally patched out some terrible bugs...20years later 😄

I'm also excited for D4, but I will get it not before end of this year.

So A21 may come when it comes.

...which it does anyways, regardless from your and my posts 🙂

It's not *just* for streamers, as I understand it youtubers are welcome to make videos too. They just need 5k+ subs and to apply, and they get access.

Yeah, I didn't say it was for only streamers. I said right in my post that I know youtubers who are doing it. That being said, the point of post was that based on my understanding, if you are participating in Streamer Weekend, you will be streaming that content as opposed to recording videos then posting them. Again, I could be mistaken.

I tried random gen today and had some problems with it. 

First one I generated a map the rivers were starting and stopping erratically on the preview map. But I tried to generate the map anyway. 

I press generate, come back to it latter only to find that it ask me the same thing. It was as if I hadn't even tried it. 

What is going on?

We allow both. You are correct that streaming lends itself best for the short window of the weekend but there are some who make videos and don't stream and we let them do that.

is there an option in alpha 21 to make the traders always open & destructible?

I'm not sure how much more vehicle damage from hitting stuff is going to be increased, but those chunks of desert driftwood which the RNG sometimes cruelly places near trader doors and wind up within the protection area are already a pain in the butt.

Either preventing them from generating in the first place, or a console command capable of removing them would be appreciated.

Somebody would have moved that clump of girders/logs/etc. that always gets clipped! :)

I have long neglected bow+arrow in my playthroughs, so I'll give it another shot in A21.

For "mass-control" I want to use exploding arrows (which I always have lots of in my hoarding boxes, but always forget to use).

So now I'm wondering:

What to do to get the most damage out of those in A21?

Not that I ever really bothered before how they work, but now with the skill changes in A21:

Will these be governed by "bow and arrow" skills, or by "explosives" skills?

Or both maybe?

Are there specific books for exploding arrows?
