So I still got all my gear. Will my character be wiped later on?

My buddy and I found mutiple axes, gas cookers, gas lanterns, two mosins - one for each of us -,a fuckton of ammo, scopes, medpacks and food and drink to last for days and those huge backpacks Guess what we did? WE WENT AWAY FROM THE CITIES WHERE EVRYBODY ELSE IS Jesus man, what the fuck

Pretty sure rocket once posted on reddit that they've lowered their iniitial goal to 20 players Edit: Welp, he actually said that 20 players are not enough

Right. It just so happened that 20 people coincidentally opened their client at the same time

You don't organize a 20 player test and then cancel the whole thing because you want to tweak something Something broke or it became obvious very quickly that something is not properly working yet

Meanwhile you're all missing out on neverwinter nights @ the gog sale Been waiting ages for this to happen

One of the major issues (at least for sharpshooters) with KF on higher difficulty levels is the messed up hit detection

I thought what we had was special

"It's a feature" I'm not asking for lot's of weapons, I'm asking for variety

It doesn't even have to be super rare stuff that gives actual advantages Having the same weapons with different skins (they, of course, have to look good enough for the players to care about them) would spice things up as well and make players more cautious because they don't want to loose it Imagine different mounts in MMOs. They're all the same stat wise, but players go to extreme lengths just because one looks better than the other and they even get attached to it

I'm not asking for more military, high powered rifles, but you've got to admit that having only one type of pistol is kinda meh. It's not a big issue and will be resolved sooner or later, I know. Just sayin' Edit: To clarify, I had the secret hope of seeing home-made, makeshift survivalist weapons like nailguns that don't even properly work half the time and similar stuff.

But that weapon is supposed to be super rare, might as well not be there Though I'm really curious if the mentioned pistol has a similar modding system

Aw. I was hoping for more weapon variety at the beginning, even if it's just unmodified "originals" from the mod Oh well

Oh wow. "Oh no, I don't actually have a good point" "Better dodge the whole discussion and try to end it" The reality is, and I quote you on this, that you said "It has already been established by precedent in both this game and other video games that 5[...] server fps is sufficient, anything above that is actually rather incredble" Which is flat out wrong. This has nothing to do with what the team thinks, what rocket thinks, what anybody else thinks, this is about you spreading misinformation. Your post wasn't even written just in the context for the Mod or SA, you made the claim, that in general, anything above 5 fps for game servers is more than sufficient and actually incredible Saying that 5 fps are sufficient (providing as much as is needed) and anything above it is incredible implies that the game works flawlessly at 5 fps. Or, since you seem to be so fond of the word "functional", it means that the game is fully functional at 5 fps. Which, as rocket confirmed, it is not. I'll break this whole discussion (though it sadly hardly is one, considering that you don't seem to have a point) down in the most atomically way I can think of: You said that 5 fps are enough I said 5 fps are not enough Rocket said 5 fps are not enough The only question that remains is if you truly think that 5 fps are sufficient, thereby ignoring hard evidence, or if you'll finally admit that you didn't think it through when your wrote that post back then.

Optimization tends to break shit, they're going to test some more after they fixed that gamebreaking bug (which prevents proper testing)

But the article immediately put that quote in relation by saying that performance has been improved. So it's not really a misrepresentation of the game, just a poor quote of rocket's poor wording. Edit: Oh well, they updated the article. Just FYI, I actually agree with you. I just enjoy having arguments for the sake of having arguments, no matter which side I am on.

Quote the part where they misrepresented the game please. They even say that performance outside of cities is improved

I don't mean to defend gaming journalists. Gaming would be better off without them My point is that rocket knew that journalists are flat out retarded sometimes. And now for some reason he's surprised. For the average reader the stuff he said on reddit makes it seem like there are issues with the game's performance. Which would actually be true. I'm also going to point out that the PC Gamer article didn't even claim that client FPS are low. They just went along with rocket's poor wording.

Jesus Christ Just be clear Do you think 5 fps are sufficient, knowing that the server does not properly work at that performance level and gameplay is far from optimal. Not functional, sufficient. Functionality was never even a point of this argument until you brought it up for some reason Yes or No.

Everybody else, including gaming journalists, isn't. They aren't journalists. They (most of them at least) have no formal education, at all. Gaming journalism is not taken seriously, even by their target audience. The only difference between us and them is that they get paid for writing articles. He is a public figure and knows that he has to be very careful with what he says, he said as much beforehand I also cannot seem to find his post in which he clarifies that the client does not have performance issues. Quite the opposite actually. Among other things, he's recommending SSDs, says the client is not optimized for more than two cores, there are performance issues in cities and admits that having an optimized 64bit edition is unlikely because of the engine It's cool that he's open and honest but he should not be surprised when stuff like that article happens

Can't blame PC Gamer (and other major sites such as RPS, they published similar articles) for thinking that he's referring to actual 15 fps. Talking of "fps" when referring to the server doesn't even make any sense to begin with

What? It's obviously rocket's poor choice of words that's at fault here, there are also more than enough players now who think the game will run at 15 fps

Now you changed your point again. One post ago you admitted that 5 sfps are in fact not enough. Now you again say that they are. Make up your mind And how does rocket's quote support your (current, I assume you will again have a different opinion next post) point in any way? He's clearly saying that 5 fps are not sufficient for the server to properly work Don't know about you, but I'm having quite a fun time

So now you are admitting that 5 fps are not sufficient I am arguing in circles because you constantly change your point and keep contradicting yourself

What You said 5 server fps are sufficient 5 server fps are not sufficient Therein lies my problem It isn't even "functional". The zombies do not properly function at 5 sfps, neither does fluid and responsive gameplay
