This Ghorondor guy is an idiot.
Every single person who has paid for this game has every right to voice their concern about it. Saying "Are you a competent coder" is just freaking stupid. He isn't asking to work on the game, he is asking for content to a game that he purchased.
It's kind of upsetting we were told we were getting a patch on 12/5 and then on 12/6 we were are told "Oppps patch will be out tomorrow". It is now 12/7 aka "Tomorrow" and all we have is a Dev Branch which is limited to Playrust.eu servers only. It's almost 7 PM in the UK/2 PM in the US (EST) and still no actual patch.
If you read Trello the only thing you see being discussed is How Pants are Coming Up A Bit Short on models right now and the Linux Cursor problem. People are expecting the Junk Bolt Action Rifle this patch, if it's not delivered it gonna be a big blow to the game (and don't say they have only announced it 2 weeks ago, because it been being talked about quite a bit longer then that), but it doesn't even look like they are done with the animations for it yet.
What is known for the patch right now Spiked Walls, Large Spiked Walls, Wooden Gate, Gateway, Supply Signal IS VERY UNDERWHELMING!!! Bug and Exploit fixes are GREATLY appreciated, but the game is severely lacking and needing in content. If this patch doesn't add said content, the game will remain dead like it has been for the last few days and then it's going to take a major content patch to get people interested in it again after being teased with this patch.
Thank you.I can say the same about you sweety
Well, maybe I'm wrong then. I'm actually quite surprised that people are satisfied with these 1-2 week updates.
Guess I'll just wait the 4+ years until the game is complete.
its more than i what was expecting! just want the official update release (not the dev one) =)
i was just expecting bug fixes and the removal of zombies, the extra gates/walls i knew nothing about
Maybe you missunderstood me.I never say that you as a buyer has no right to give your voice their.I do the same like anybody in this forum.
I will only say that everybody can say what they think,but they have to write it factual.
And if someone say something about the coders,i will think he can make a better job.So feel free to do this
Oh boy, look at all these impatient spoiled brats.. Development takes time, and the rate that they even give updates are far faster than most other in development games. Be happy with what you get, or sign up for the dev team and help them out if you're so impatient.
Could it be, that the team has put most of the time in removing bugs/glitches and exploits.
This is not all they have worked on, All bugs takes time,
I'm not going to get into the above however as far as the new stuff actually added goes is it fair to say at this stage:
It's pointless surrounding your base with spikes as you have to have a gate to get through them. As a result people are just going to shoot your door / gateway down regardless so what's the point in spikes?
The weakest point is always going to get targeted and you need to get in and out of your base so all that time crafting and making it look pretty with spikes = super pointless
Listen guys, I appreciate your comments and concerns. I just want to tell you that we've been working on trying to fix some major bugs and performance/crash issues the past few weeks, this is why there hasn't been a content patch. As soon as we get all that stuff fixed you can look forward to much more content on a weekly basis. Believe me, I hate that the patches we've been releasing haven't been adding said content but it's a process and we're doing the best we can!
p.s. I'm fixing balance issues with the gate/gateways as we speak
Looks good. First step of defense. Finally.
Thx Helk. You're all doing a great Job!
I still suggest a rule set similar to Ultima Online: http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1328201
Helk just thought I'd mention, glitching into a rock with a sleeping bag still isn't fixed at least not on the Dev Branch that was released last night/early this morning. On a stream I was watching last night (cause I was honestly to lazy to play) 2 guys had glitched into a rock and were duping gear/killing anyone that came near the rock from the inside.
The Admin of the server got in there and took care of them, but both issues still exist with the current Dev Build.
Hey Tokesh,
This is what happened, The game was broken in a few ways with exploiting, duping, high memory usage and strange visual artefacts. We prioritized fixing these issues over adding more content so that we can stop focusing on those issues and add more content. I don't think we're incompetent because we didn't rush to add a bolt action rifle that doesn't have completed animations. We're doing our best to improve the game experience for everyone.
Believe me I am super excited to have all these issues in the past and do major content pushes on a weekly basis, I actually was a little upset that we hadn't been adding serious content to the game for the past few weeks so I snuck the spiked walls into this update rather than the next one to give people something to play with. (p.s. I'm fixing the issues with them as we speak )
We're doing the best we can, it's an alpha test and there are going to be issues and we're going to have to focus on things that aren't exactly 'new stuff' from time to time unfortunately. All I can ask is that you guys test the crap out of the game and we fix any issues so everyone can have a good time playing!
Thanks guys
