PC Where is this game going?

This isn't a story driven game, it's a horde crafting game... and that's what we have been given.

So what if it's still classed as Alpha by status, and that we're now onto the 21st Alpha. We aren't paying by the Alpha - it's free content updates.
Nobody would be complaining if it came out of Alpha status 5 years ago, but then these updates still kept coming out and were just classed as normal updates. It's only the fact that the updates are called 'Alpha' that people are fixating on. Nobody cares about the status at this point - they're updates, they're free, and they (in most cases/most people's views) make the game better.

It's not the fact that's its still in alpha its that every alpha they push back stuff they promised would be coming in order to reorganize the same couple of systems over and over again. They waste so much time making balances that they eventually end up redoing anyway in the next alpha.

TFP is basically making the game they want to play, not the game the players want to play and thats a big part of the problem. The players want something much different than the devs seem to want, the devs used to align with players up to a16, but a17 and up they kinda stoped listening to the playerbase and just do what they want.

Since when we are an hive mind?

You're fixating on 2 - 3 parts of the update, out of hundreds of other new and improved things that were also included.

Let's just ignore the hundreds of new items and décor pieces. Loads of new POI's. Old POI being overhauled. World graphics improvements. New quest type. New hazard type. Huge improvements to the RWG output. Extra admin abilities. Tons of fixes.

New poi's is not what the game needs, nor is better deco and graphics, it needs better gameplay and mechanics, and this is where tfp is basically putting no effort into. The new quest type is just a clear quest with more enemies in it, its not that special. As for the RWG "improvements" I am on the fence, the road smoothing is nice, but if I had to be honest I prefered a20 Rwg due to the trader's location in a town. I like to base beside the trader and well, in A21 I often have to generate 8+ maps before I find one where the trader isin't surrounded on all sides by poi's for hundreds of meters. I also like my first trader to be in a big town, even more so in A21 where its a royal pain to get the higher tier vehicles.

Hahahaha, that is a good joke.

 
We'll see what the final version looks like in 2030, I have my doubts that it will be actually a fun sandbox game that it used to be, quite unfortunate that the priorities went into graphics instead of mechanics and performance, have a look at Battlebit Remastered and tell me those people actually care about the graphics rather than the mechanics.
