@faatal When I've gone back to play A16 it would wipe my settings (mouse sensitivity, etc) when I would return to A21. Will switching back and forth between A21 and 1.0 do the same thing?

Probably. On Windows, settings are in registry under the game name and the game name is the same.

Quest reward: one (1) bacon and eggs. I'm fairly sure you use more food running to the quest site and back than you'd get with that reward.

If that's what we can expect from quest rewards, then that's dumb.  TFP went from way too much to way too little.  How hard is it to have a balanced middle ground?

 
@faatal Why has the bandits taken so long to do, I know it is a complex issue but you have been talking about it since A18 at least and now its maybe June 2025, 

Entire games have come and gone in that time frame with bandits.

What has the Major hold up been with them if you can tell us or other issues?

I'm thinking the same thing here.  If you only get the legendary parts in high tier POI, you will likely never craft any tier 1 quality 6 equipment and probably rarely any tier 2 either.  That doesn't really make any sense.  Add in the interest in holding these until you can craft tier 3 stuff if it's so rare and you've really only added quality 6 crafting at tier 3 with a small amount of tier 2 for those who feel like it.  It doesn't make sense to so clearly cut out quality 6 tier 1 and most tier 2 stuff.  I'll probably end up modding quality 6 equipment back into the drops because of this.  It isn't like quality 6 equipment is actually "legendary," regardless of the label they put on it.  So no reason it should be hard to get.

It's going to depend a lot if scrapping a Q6 item gives you the legendary part back.

There is a rare chance to find them in loot.  In my last default playthrough up to 14 days, I think I only found one.  Others in the same time frame had found more than me.

Okay, that is better than it was made to sound.  Still, it feels like Q6 stuff will be mostly missing until tier 3.  Not sure that is a good move.  It is good to be able to craft it but for those who don't like crafting, you've just nerfed the game for them.  I mean, I'm fine with having Q6 drops reduced and no longer quest rewards, but they need to still be easy enough to get for people who don't want to craft stuff.

I hate theorycrafting as well, but I genuinely am curious how many people are going to feel compelled to save these crafting components until end-game? Like, what is better, a quality level 1 AK-47 or a quality level 1 tact? Quality level 6 tact versus quality level 1 M60? Part of it's min-maxing (if you wait until end-game), part of it would be intelligent assessment and weighing pros versus cons. Like how much better would a quality level 6 double barrel be versus a quality level 1 pump action? Or due to their rare and endgame quest nature, are we going to see players only crafting max level top tier gears because that is the point in progression many players would start finding them? We'll have to wait and see how it plays out. :)

@Roland Perhaps someone like you could help us out there? Did you craft any quality level 6 gear that wasn't end-game tier? (Ex. iron tools, T1-T2 guns, etc.) I'm picking this apart because I find it interesting, not necessarily for constructive criticism purposes. :)

They start showing up at tier 2 as far as I can tell and they aren't super rare. Just uncommon. I gladly stuck one into a stone axe and was very happy for awhile with my purple stone axe and didn't feel like I needed to upgrade to iron immediately. I didn't feel any resentment when shortly after I found enough magazines to push me up to iron tools. 

As far as weapons are concerned I probably would not craft a tier 6 pipe weapon. I would wait until I progressed to tier 6 of the next level and then use it. I wouldn't save it until tier 6 of the top level. There's playing the game to play the game and then there's playing the game to wait to play the game and I don't enjoy playing the second way. I don't rush the progression so I would have a stack of legendary parts sitting around never to be used if I waited for the top level of everything to use them. If people are getting Auto Shotguns and Steel Clubs in the first week with how they play then for sure save those parts for the top gear. But it takes me weeks and weeks and weeks to get that far.

Been watching Streamer Weekend, and I gotta say.. Trader Joel's new voice does NOT fit him. Voice is way too young.

Another thing I noticed, the new armor sets do still have the dye slots, which changes the color of the armor pieces.. but only in your inventory. Will armor be dyable for real later on, or will the dye slot be removed or changed to something else?

I kinda like his voice tbh I'm shocked Joel didn't do the voice cuz.... you know.... 

 
Old Crow said:
Yeah I was surprised at that too. The voice is fine on its own, it just doesn't fit the character model. Old cowboy dude with the voice of a young George McFly.. nah.

I can kind of understand that part I just still think I like the voice actor maybe it's about time to give Joel a baby face

afaik, scrapping any item only returns a single base component regardless of how many different things created that item.

So, I doubt scrapping a Q6 item will return a rare crafting component. (I would like to be wrong in this though.  :classic_biggrin:  )

Wrench harvesting can return multiple base components, but you can't do that except with vehicles and furniture.

everyone should boycott the streamer weekend, several of us have played this game for years and should have the same access to the game.

Everyone who feels strongly about it already is. The boycott is literally happening right now. I only watched a little bit but now I'm firmly not watching for the rest of the day. Tomorrow.... we'll see....
