So basically the move to a dynamic origin point, which would've been necessary for larger maps, ends up not mattering much in practice since the map had to shrink for other reasons. The fix is nice in theory, but doesn't improve the unmodified game. Take note: this is a great example to point to whenever an armchair developer thinks TFP should be optimizing and bug fixing full tilt at all times.
If there was simply a reduction and delay between screamers that'd help a ton. Screamers can be a ton of fun... Until... They're nothing but busy work...

I'd be surprised if the map size limit wasn't put in place to speed up settlement generation time. It's definitely a worthy feature to add, especially for pvp players and popular servers. Personally I thnk map size should be a setting in the menu, with a warning about generation time if necessary.
It's very rare that dogs catch me out these days - I almost always hear them coming and take appropriate action. Happens on occasion, but I think it's much better than it used to be. Mind you, I am constantly listening very carefully for them. Sometimes it's just a simple growl - but that's enough, of course. It's also the reason why I always go around with a spiked club in my hands if not using a tool, and have practised switching to that weapon repeatedly.I know what you mean by stealth dog and wolf packs. I really think that they should be making noises. Like a pack of dogs would make running though foliage and or grass full speed. Also barking and howling when they see you. Not also would this add to game immersion but would chill a player to the bone.
What I'm worried about is that their engine crashes, produces errors or has memory leaks with the additional content and so they had to reduce the amount generated to overcome a fatal flaw buried in the game.
So you believe in the size reduction but not the density increase even though both pieces of news came from the same source who also happens to be the lead programmer for RGW? If you’re sure you can only walk a distance of 1.4km three or four times until you hit the edge then you should also be sure there will be a whole lot more to see and do on the way. Why selectively believe only one part of the message?
My best answer to you is look at the first page. What is listed is the guarentee anything else is always possible but don't count on it. If something more makes it great if not then wait and see. You never know A17 will have a few updates so some stuff might get put into one of them but until it does don't get Hope's up for it.
That's the only reason Spiked club goes to slot 1, because slots 2-4 are my tools and I can mouse wheel to 1 while running to a better location. Also why slot 8 is my SMG, if I over wheel then I still have something that can take them down.
Some cats have it better than some humans.its sad we are still weeks away from the experimental release, wipe festival
I swear they purposely do things every alpha update to mess with the timing so you have to relearn how to melee. This time will be no different with the added variables of:
Ambient occlusion and occlusion culling are two different features.
Ah I didn't know POI density was actually being changed? I thought it was only being thrown around as an idea by some people here a while ago, didn't know it came from a developer. In that case, ok, I believe POI is gonna happen
Melee combat, IMO, has taking a step in the right direction.
