PC V3.0 Dead Hot Summer Dev Diary

I am curious to see what excites players the most. Who knows, maybe the POIs...😅...totally unbiased opinion of course....
Honestly, that is so far the only thing that really interests me. 99% of the new options will never get touched by me, and the remainder aren't all that important. Sure, I'll adjust some loot options and stuff, but none of it will have any significant change on the game itself. I know some settings would greatly change the game, but they aren't settings I would ever want. So 3.0 will be very underwhelming as a "major" update and fits far more into a 2.7 than a 3.0 for me. But I know it'll be great for others. I suppose I'm one of the "few" who actually like vanilla.

Regarding the new POI, how much those interest me will be in proportion to the number that are *actual* POI versus the number that are just remnants. I have no use for remnants, which made the last large POI inclusion really poor for me. Not only did it add a bunch of POI that I had no interest in, but it also made all those take up space from POI that I was interested in. At least until I change things to prevent most remnants from appearing on the map. If that's what we're mostly getting yet again, then even that will be very underwhelming for me, though even just one new real POI would be nice. And it sounds like we are getting at least some new real POI in the bunch.
 
My buddy plays with smell turned off... I play with it turned on. When we play together and I host the game, nothing he does has a smell while it does for me. So I think the client settings (at least in this case) are overriding the host settings.
Two testers tried it and it worked for them. There were 3 smell fixes since 2.6, so that may have affected it.
