My plea to the Fun Pimps

Although I emphatize with you missing old implementations, it is far from easy to just put things back in a separate mode.

Keep in mind, just because things exist in old code and/or existing mods doesn't necessarily make it an easy win.

We have the greater responsibility to ensure everything works across all platforms.

On the bright side, there has been many discussions on adding more simulation options down the road. It probably won't happen until we finish the remaining roadmap items (e.g. bandits, story, etc.) but at least that means there is a chance for alternate gameplay experiences.

With that said, what types of alternate game modes would people like to see?

Personally, I would love to see some type of perma item degredation mode so there is more value in attaining multiples of the same type of weapons and armor. This could create a similar feel to the old weapon parts system.

Isn't it obvious? We want alpha 11-16, namely the content that was removed and a return to gritty horror survival and immersion without magic yetis and magic candy. So if you implement that in your game mode or whatever then yeah...

I think it is impossible to please everybody. Expecting TFP or any other game developer to suddenly change everything out of somebodies wishes or rants is unrealistic.

I think they are doing their best to develop the game following the road they have in mind for THEIR game while listening and making some changes out of constructive feedback from the community, if those fit in the general idea they have for THEIR game. Which I am sure is far from easy.

Personally, while there are some things I do not particularly like much or find slightly annoying, like yetis, or smoothies, I still enjoy the game a lot.
I am a relatively new player compared with many others, so I have not enjoyed (or most likely, suffer) older versions, so maybe that is why .

A lot of the things that are usual complaints or requests from older versions I would not like to have back, so not everybody wants empty jars back (please NO), or the absolutely horrendous clothes from older versions, or everything looking brown and muddy (leave my colors alone, please, I am happy with the game being more colorful). Just to name a few.
5 slots for armor though, that would be nice .

So see, it is impossible to please everybody, that is why mods exist, and why we have the possibility to play older versions. At least in pc, I understand it is more problematic in console, but in pc everybody can play the game EXACTLY the way they want.

Now I am not sure why I am writing this post, I might need more coffee , but maybe just to give my 2 cents.
