  1. Can confirm. I saw a post some months ago where someone asked for CM/DM modes to be removed from the game because they can't help themselves and spawn items in from the get-go and, in their own words, "ruin [their] experience". When suggested by others NOT to do that, it was like speaking a foreign language to the OP, and they were genuinely baffled how others don't suffer from the same problem. So yes, as I've encountered many times over the years, many people, likely due to how their brains are wired, entirely lack any semblance of self-discipline and restraint, to the point out of concern I'd genuinely advise them not to go to a casino, otherwise they'd likely spend their retirement pension in a week.
  2. Don't head over to the subreddit, it's a doozy over there.
  3. The animation that plays out 30 seconds in is eerily similar to the zombie dogs' wake-up trigger. Cougars in POI's coming to A22?
  4. How about a feral Canadian goose instead? Those would be much more terrifying, hissing and flapping its wings as it charges you down.
  5. It's about time. Great to see the yearly tradition is continuing. With the change made to combining clothing/armor into outfits, I'm curious if the Heavy/Light Armor perks will influence their drops, or if they'll be tied to other skills. (Ex. The farming set will be more likely to drop in loot if you've perked in Living Off The Land.)
  6. A challenge I propose is called "The Trader's Gambit" (placeholder name). The TL;DR is it a combination of Nomad (living out of your backpack and vehicle storage, and you can only stay in a POI for one day/night before you must move) and horde night every night, with an added twist involved. Every day, you must return to your trader and select a quest. Whichever POI you select to be sent to is where you must hold down the horde at. If you want to remove player choice entirely, use a program to pick between 1 and 5, there are a few online that I know of. Rinse and repeat until you die. Encouragingly, you are only allowed to complete one quest a day. The rest of the day can be dedicated to resource gathering, upgrading your POI base, and looting elsewhere. Additionally, you have to use the existing shape of the original structure. This means no building pathway bases on the side of a building, or a wall surrounding the perimeter.
  7. "RWG uses tiles for many things. Biome tiles were 1024 squares. Now 256." Can someone please explain what this means and its significance? I'm curious if the burnt biome will be small patches located in the forest, or if it will be its own biome again. Also, will the burnt sections of the wasteland remain?
  8. There's yet another mod still on Nexus called "Extra Game Options" which, among other things, allows you to customize your trader experience fairly extensively, including the amount of quests you need to complete each tier, the ability to remove gear (guns, melee weapons, tools, armor, etc.) from trader inventories or quests, or from looting. The second latter option does make higher tier quests pretty obsolete, however, as I don't see anyone clearing a T5 or T6 (Infested) POI for 25 steel.
  9. 6144k map, mostly wasteland, with a central forest city. A little funny note: Using the game name "Test" should spawn you in a pine tree, resulting in a broken leg. You have been warned.
  10. Game Version: (A21.2 b37) OS/Version: (Windows) CPU Model: (Intel i7 9700K) System Memory: (32 GB) GPU Model and VRAM: (nVidia GTX 2080 16 GB) Screen Resolution: (2560x1440) Video Settings: (Custom (mostly ultra; not relevant)) Game mode: (SP) Did you wipe old saves? (Yes/No) N/A Did you start a new game? (Yes/No) Yes Did you validate your files? (Yes/No) Yes Are you using any mods? (Yes/No) No EAC on or off? Off Status: NEW Bug Description: Navezgane General Hospital provides a T5 (blue) infested cache at the end of a T6 infested mission, instead of a T6 (purple/pink/magenta) cache. Opening it confirmed its contents to be a T5 cache. Detailed steps to reproduce the bug: 1) Consume ticket items and accept rewards from a trader until T6 is unlocked; log out and back in, or use admin options to reset quests. 2) Select a T6 infested mission for a hospital. (Note: Make sure there is one in your local area / world before committing to this test.) 3) Fly to the loot room, and you'll identify a T5 infested cache on the floor instead of the correct T6 variant. Actual result: Hospital is giving you a T5 infested cache for a T6 mission. A simple oversight; a purple/pink/magenta T6 infested cache should be in its place instead. Expected result: Expected to see a T6 infested cache at the end. I've identified this bug occurring since at least A21.1 stable, may have occurred earlier.

  11. With the changes to stamina perks, has Flurry of Blows been touched at all? Particularly the +30 stamina back per kill at the final rank.
  12. Unless I'm mistaken (feel free to correct me), for the majority of alphas throughout this game's history - up until Alpha 12, 13, or 14, can't remember - there was no perk system at all.
  13. Overall in my opinion this change regarding Sex Rex is a fantastic design choice and should encourage build diversity. Mining tools wasn't covered in the changelog, so I assume that Miner 69er will govern their own individual stamina reduction bonus per rank.
  14. The nail gun will have quality levels now.
  15. I've decided to give a bit of light roleplaying a shot. 1) In the first image you can see a white sedan, with a campsite up ahead. The story here is a couple were attempting to make their way to a cabin up North (marked on their map) but were caught out in the late evening after their vehicle broke down. With no other choice, they pitched tent a little bit ahead to weather out the approaching night. In this car I've spawned myself in a little bit of clothing - worn boots, a shirt, and some denim jeans. Nothing too egregious. 2) In the second image you can see the tent to the right and a small campsite to the right. Unfortunately the two survivors did not see it through to the next morning - at least one zombie shambled upon them, and the forest was filled with their agonizing screams that night. In the campfire my survivor will find a can of chili and some bottled water. In the tent, alongside the two corpses, is a duffle bag containing a flashlight, a healing bandage, and a note where I pretend it's their map and coordinates are marked on it. 3) In the third image you can see the cabin, located approx. 500 meters North of the campsite. The place is a dump, with rotting wood, a collapsed roof, trash everywhere, and evidence of a struggle. I built this place in creative mode to give my survivor a little bit of framework. A lot of it will have to be ripped out anyway, so it evens out. 4) My survivor will enter the cabin and discover the true extent of the wreckage. The door has been busted down, and the back window is smashed (possibly from the survivor attempting to break out). In the wooden desk to the right I spawned in a quality level 1 pistol and fired as many rounds as it needed to degrade it to 0 durability. I'll roleplay my survivor picking it up, assessing that it's useless, and I'll toss it onto the floor to despawn. 5) A devoured corpse is towards the back wall of the interior. Someone who attempted to hold out here got unlucky. It's likely a horde busted through their front door in the night, and this was the result. 6) In the other shots you can see other sides of the cabin. My permanent base will be about 200 meters North in an open forested location, with flat ground. There are no rules or stipulations in this playthrough, although I will try to keep myself unnoticed in this stretch of woods as much as possible, only going into towns to loot when I desperately need to. This will mean a lot of mining, base work, and chilling out will take place in this playthrough. When I acquire a motorcycle I might even go on regular patrols, simulating actual survivors being in the game that may want to invade my homeland. (One day bandits will make it in folks!)
