PC V3.0 Sandbox Siege Dev Diary

He made his point; he doesn't like the railroading in the current game. There's no point in answering <#insert world> -arguments, they're infinite. His dislike isn't arguable.

Eh, he stated TFP broke his playstyle, and when asked what exactly was broken he decided to go mute. It's a forum, anything is arguable, really. And I'm not even trying to argue, I'm just asking for his reasoning on a statement he made. I don't think that's unfair. If I just popped in and said the game sucks I'd imagine a common reply would be to ask me why I think that, no? He said just adding biome progression was railroading his preferred playstyle, but I don't see how that is, which I why I asked for an explanation. Especially if he has progression turned off. The gamestage/lootstage biome stuff has been there since at least 1.0 now, and other than the recent additions of some tougher biome spawns I don't see his issue. Which again...why I asked.

And beyond all of that, I was talking to him, not you. So unless you are aware of his reasons and wanna fill me in, I'm not sure why you're butting in and adding nothing.

Did I miss something, or is this accurate: He was already annoyed by Roland's <#insert world>, and you hopped in with this gem:

So you are just afraid of being wrong?

How is that "asking for his opinion" and not just outright trolling?

And beyond all of that, I was talking to him, not you.

Him, Roland <> You, Me.

I have the patience to argue endless loops with Roland, but I get that not everyone does...

I'm sure that, once the community manager job is in effect, we will get some news; possibly once they have things to share.

Or the new CM is watching and reading and waiting. Like they taught me in TSG when a person
first calls with a problem, they are hot, just listen and say ok, and I see, and I understand, a lot.
Then when they cool down, you offer assistance.

The alternative is sticking something in a bee hive that shouldn't be there in the first place, and
getting stung.

Because Roland had already asked him to explain his stance and he just got defensive and made excuses. Again, why post here if you aren't willing to discuss your thoughts and opinions? And I already know from his previous posts that he's usually just gonna bash on the game and then avoid any actual discussion. Yet another one of those people who you wonder why they even still visit here if they hate everything about the game. ■■■■ gets tiring. Either make valid points and be open to discussion or just STFU.

Did I miss something, or is this accurate: He was already annoyed by Roland's <#insert world>

He doesn't like Roland, I guess. I don't give a ■■■■ about that. He said TFP is railroading his playstyle but refuses to explain his stance. I'll troll him if I feel like it. He doesn't need you defending him.

I'll troll him if I feel like it. He doesn't need you defending him.

Hey, accountability! A rare treat, thanks I wasn't exactly defending him, I was mainly trolling Roland via proxy... seems like a team sport

When they added biome progression they also altered the difficulty per biome drastically. It's not simply a matter of turning off progression. I don't have a problem with difficulty per se (as some seem to try to suggest for easy insults), but rather a railroading tendency to force you to play a certain way. No, it goes beyond biome progression.

How was the biome difficulty changed beyond the progression? Are you just referring to the new desert Rancher zombie with the bees? That's the only change to the desert difficulty. And those are actually very easy to deal with as long as you pay attention. The only time they really are annoying is horde night when the bees keep distracting you from fighting, and dropping a junk turret (or any turret) behind you solves that. In what other way are you thinking that the desert biome difficulty has changed? It doesn't seem any more difficult to me beyond the Ranchers/bees, and as I said, those are easy to deal with if you are paying attention to them. I could easily start in the desert on day 1... either by rushing the protective gear for it or else disabling that. The difficulty of the biome wouldn't be an issue at all.
