  1. Welcome! I believe hands will appear to be wearing whatever glove type that you equip in A22
  2. I remember that they changed the look of the trees of the burnt forest from what they were originally and that there was an alpha where the trees were very densely packed and then they thinned it out. I remember that it got removed from random gen eventually and then combined somewhat with wasteland. Now I’ve read that it will return as its own biome but I haven’t yet seen it. I know it was never removed from Navezgane. So…not very periodic in my memory as far as removing the biome and reinstating it multiple times. It’s good news it’s coming back in my opinion.
  3. Yeah, that doesn’t sound very periodic. Most likely n2n1 played Navesgane and then random gen and then Navesgane and then random gen and then Navesgane and then random gen….
  4. So the big question is....what would the perk have to be to convince you to wear it regardless of how it looks....? Maybe we'll all be nerds if the benefit is good enough. lol
  5. Please do not necro old outdated threads. It is extremely confusing and disorienting to read through posts that people think are current only to find they are from years ago. If you have a problem with the controls then start a new thread and talk about it so that we can read your thoughts on the first page without having to read two pages of history. It doesn't matter whether you think it's the same problem from years ago, just start a new thread and share those thoughts instead of opening an ancient thread.
  6. A15? Seems to me the most pining is for A16 which the console gamers never experienced. At any rate, we had A15 only for about a year and then A16 for about a year and a half. They've had Alpha 15 for 5-6 years so I'm betting it's a bit more played out for them than it was for you. They can always go back to the old console version if they think it is more fun but I'll take your bet and counter that most will be excited for the new version, enjoy it immensely, and view it more as a sequel than a replacement. Much like a sequel they will have both available to play at any time on their console so I doubt their bitterness will rise to the level you seem to be displaying.
  7. The console version coming out this year is the same as the PC version. So if you follow the current development for PC it is also the current development for console. Most of the work right now is optimizations to make sure the game runs well on console which also benefits the game on PC. Just watch this thread and the Twitter feed and whatever news comes out from now on applies equally to console as it does to PC.
  8. FYI-- I tested out the terrain shaping tool and couldn't make the terrain blocks into a smooth curved bank. Individual voxels stubbornly refused to smooth out. But perhaps I just suck at using the tool.
  9. There is a terrain shaping tool in the creative menu if you have the dev tools button switched on. It looks like a hot pink shovel. You could try shaping your banked turn out of terrain blocks using the shaping tool. I haven't played with it much but it might work.
  10. Well, you'll only be wearing them digitally and there is no "stubbed toe" debuff so I think you'll be safe both physically and digitally while wearing the in-game flip flops and this is from someone who tore a toenail off while riding a bike while wearing flipflops. I'll never do THAT again but I feel pretty safe playing a game about wearing flip flops. Of course, I never tried wearing them while walking up the nearby mountain to check the pole that tells the weather either....
  11. Yeah, I was wrong. A truer statement to my point would be that all games have a threshold at which a full set bonus triggers and until you hit and remain at or above that threshold you only get a partial bonus or no bonus at all depending on the design. Wanting to dip below the threshold but still keep the bonus is unrealistic of a player. I suppose TFP could grant the set bonus if you have at least 4 of the 5 pieces just to allow for different footwear but I doubt they will do this. I think it will follow suit with the existing book. @Matt115's request to allow the set bonus without the flipflops isn't that crazy of a request after all as such a thing is an existing design after all. But whatever the threshold turns out to be I don't believe it is a fair criticism to say that the devs are forcing a player to wear something the player doesn't want to wear but "must" wear for whatever bonus it provides. They shouldn't get the bonus if they don't meet the requirements.
  12. Good to know. Thanks all! 7 Days is unlikely to do an incremental set bonus. The devs will follow the same model they use for the book sets. Each piece will grant a specific bonus and if you wear the entire set you will get a set bonus. It’s interesting to learn about different designs, though.
  13. I see what you mean. Sorry, the wiki part that I read didn't give me all the info and I didn't know enough about the game to search for more. That was my bad for not fully researching it. So it appears that each piece has a bonus that it grants and in addition, there is a set bonus once you have at least 3 pieces. I concede that there is at least one game that does not require you to get all the pieces of an armor collection for the set bonus. But...I will point out that there still is a threshold and if you are a piece short of that threshold then you don't get the full bonus. In 7 Days to Die that threshold is going to be all the pieces.
  14. Cool. I have that game but haven’t played it in years and never realized that. So there’s one. After A22 releases there will still be just one. EDIT: So I was curious and looked up the Torchlight wiki and here's the lowdown. You get an armor set bonus by wearing at least two pieces of the collection and it doesn't matter which two pieces you wear. BUT...it isn't really the full bonus because each additional piece worn adds another benefit to the set bonus. This means that if you are wearing all 9 pieces of the Sentinal collection (for example) your set bonus is a lot more...full and robust and I don't think any player would be happy to just stop at 2 pieces satisfied that the full set bonus was theirs. I was willing to be proven wrong and still am but when it comes down to it, even in Torchlight 2 you don't get all the benefits of the actual full set by only wearing some of the pieces. Not only that but you get no set bonus at all if you drop below the (admittedly simple) threshold of 2 pieces. So I must amend that after A22 releases there will still be zero games that allow players all the benefits of the full set if they are wearing fewer pieces than all of them. I don't deny that there will be partial bonuses.
