To each their own. I personally don't understand the desire to force people to play a certain way. It's one thing to not allow cheating or whatever, but if it's a normal way to play (i.e. co-op), not allowing it doesn't make sense to me. But it doesn't matter. People will either be okay with a server's rules and play on it or they won't. It doesn't matter to me what other people do with the game since it doesn't impact me at all.
1000% yes! We need more guns that use the .44 ammo type. I would be happy to just mod myself (and likely will for my next playthrough) but I would be happy to see this change in vanilla.
I learned that some lever actions can be in a long rifle round like 30.30 But agreed it should be 44 but if it was then it would/should be classed as a carbine
I can think of a few guns that could be 44
Not that weird at all. it would just be a caliber change. that's something that can be done. But the way the mod system works, it would only increase damage, and never decrease it. So in this particular case i don't know if it makes sense to say a 44 does more damage than the 7.62.
Can you give me some more background about this? I've seen this bandied about on reddit frequently as of late, but no one's ever really offered anything to back that up (it seems like they're mostly just repeating something they 'heard' from someone else). Did they actually have bandits planned as firmly as they now have them planned for 3.0?
lever action is a mid tier weapon, so I am not advocating that it get a damage buff, .44 was a common round for pistols and rifles...good for medium size game. If they changed it...great...if they don't...not the end of the world. Just makes sense...and gives the rifles a .44 variant. A Tommy Gun for Automatics wouldn't be the worst idea either. But not worth any delays that for sure.
Exactly. He's not working on bandits because he's working on all the 2.4 & beyond patches/updates.I don't think that @faatal is working on bandits right now... That's for 3.0 anyways. But he's definitely working on all the changes specified in the 2.0 Town Hall stream, plus the rest of the stuff that will be in 2.x (whichever version it goes to... 2.3, 2.4+++).
That's his priority and he already mentioned that the work on bandits will resume wants all the V2.x stuff is finished.
I agree that he must be very busy... But then again, he's always very busy!
Bandits have been listed as a feature in several dev diaries going back several alphas. I can’t remember the first alpha that listed them though. However, none of that really matters. Most of people complaining about their absence haven’t thought much further than: “it would be cool if there were bandits.” And the reality is many won’t be happy when they are added because all they have been doing is wishcasting, i.e., assuming what they want to happen is what will actually happen. It’s similar to people who complain about games spending too much time in early access. This complaint only makes sense if the player assumes that the things they don’t like about early access will be fixed at full release. But why would anyone make this assumption? It could easily go the other direction. For some players, the full release could be worse than the early access version. There are ample examples of that here during the game’s development.
