policide

Thanks for living up to my expectations and deleting my post. Would have posted a rant thread, but you would have done the same thing anyway. Like I said... XBOX 1 damage control. By the way, it was a bug report. The whole update was one giant pile of buggy, flawed crap. Great work.

A lot of people seem resistant to criticism concerning the latest update. Whether it's due to pride of workmanship, those who think a significant amount of fun has been removed from the game, some thinking they have more testicular fortitude than the next, or others with a legitimate desire for a more in depth apocalypse type of feeling in the game. Whatever the case, there has to be some sort of middle ground here. Hell, I've noticed things that I dislike about this update as well, but I know that others would dislike it if their experience was watered down, even in the slightest. Seems to me that this can all be solved through better use of difficulty levels on servers. For a long time now, I've not understood why there were different difficulty levels on servers at all; they all seemed the same to me. Excluding green reticles when not aiming down the sights and ranging, nothing in the game itself seemed different. Why not make better use of difficulty settings to make the game more appealing for all? Keep things the way they were in 1.7.6 for recruit, and gradually make things harder with three other settings: Hard, Veteran, and Hardcore. Everyone likes a challenge, but when your endeavors become a fruitless quest hours in the making, just to get the essential items you need to survive, many in the community are likely look elsewhere for entertainment. Not saying that wanting to look for a can of beans for hours is a bad thing, it's that there are more than a few that would rather not have to. And I know this is just a mod for a game, but there are a substantial amount of people playing this mod that are a potential client base for the standalone. Please don't alienate them. Cheers.
