Rrrright. Developers of Factorio played their own game extensively. Developers of Rimworld did. So did the developers of Empyrion. You can smell these games a mile away as they have one thing in common - advanced and useful interface.
Its mostly the old players that are a bit pissy as the game was pretty much completly overhauled into something diffrent than what it was. I generally like a17 myself, I been around since alpha 9 or 10 or so. I will admit there are parts of a17 I disliked, but i've gotten used to them and they don't really bother me now. My biggest gripe is the skill system, the perk trees are poorly balanced, str/fort/int are good, but perception and agility almost aren't worth putting points into as neither feel "needed". Once you get a vechicle, rule 1 cardio is now bascally wasted skill points, as it doesn't effect turbo mode on the bike at all, and the rest use gas. I like to find those high performance running shows in a17, they give 2 levels of rule 1 cardio maybe 3 (they up stam regen when sprinting by 20% the shoes I mean), they are rare but if you get a pair, they are lovely.
Whatever they are doing, they aren't playing the game past maybe day 14 max. Or else the garbage balance with steel and glue wouldn't still be a thing. So no, they are clearly not playing the same game we are. Because gating steel behind 30 points and 70 levels and then requiring steel for recipes that you unlock at level 20 is solid game design bro.
I'd agree perk tress aren't balance yet but keep in mind they have said this is just a starter perk lineup. WIP.
I still don't get where people are feeling there is a lack of glue. I have ~122 bones in my chest at day 11 (~11 bottles of looted glue, ~25 rolls of duct tape looted), and I haven't activley sought bones. Just gathering from animals I killed and a few gore piles when I have room and there were a few next to each other. What do you want, enough duct tape to wrap the whole world by day 4? lol
Right, you haven't played far enough to use it yet. The problem is the roadkill dries up much faster than you think. Every single recipe you will use from here on out requires either duct tape or steel or glue. Look at it like this. If you speced into special bolts and arrows, and you actually wanted to use them. You would be able to make half a stack with your current supply. Add in all the other recipes that require these items and you find yourself running out of the stuff by level 40. I collect every bone source I come across and kill every animal I see. I hit day 8 with 83 bones and about 30 duct tape. I have since made a minibike, armor, several schematics to support my tools and armor and weapons. I have exactly ten bones and 15 glue left and I have not made a single explosive bolt. I couldn't even if I had the duct tape, because I can't make steel or even steel arrow heads until level 70. All because some jackwaggon was apparently able to spec into steel by day 3. Never mind that they couldn't do anything else because every point was spent to that end only. We are talking about a character that would either not survive a solo game or end up severely regretting the choice to do so.
Considering most towns now take place in deserts, wastelands, or snow biomes, you're constantly either overheating or freezing so you're always technically down Pack Mule levels. It's really insane that even after two years the heat system is so wacky. I swear to god, if my character even so much as looks at sand, he starts suffering from heat related stroke immediately. What's more awesome is there doesn't seem to be any actual clothing in the game which alleviates either cold or heat, and I have sever doubts the heat/cold perk does anything to help at all.
If you think grass clothing is the best then you simply have not read the stats on others.... Hell the duster alone has more stats than the whole suit of grass fiber clithes.
Yea the BDU's really are very good overall. I used to go shorts/tanktop/duster in A16 now my go to search is for the BDUs and still a duster.
This about sums it up the people having fun are playing the few that don't come to the forums and complain. Why you have to ignore the forums the people that are not happy always make the most noise no matter how few they are.
he and you do not get how reviews work.
This is a hecking forum, a place that is designed for discussion? what is wrong with you?
What is wrong with your view is Atlas is a new launch of a game 7 Days is 5 years old and counting. 7 Days has 52k plus 79% rating overall the few unhappy 1k are being vocal. Even with the last 30 days 56% is not to bad with Atlas at 29% with over 14k.
If I sell you a game that is a good romantic comedy, you upvote it, you stop playing.
I'm sorry but 79% is 79% of 52k plus reviews. I'm not concerned with the 1k plus at 56% with a game change where there is always a small % that won't like it and voice it in their reviews.
well talk again in a month or two
