My first 4 hours...a few bits of feedback.

[beta_grumm 16]

So first of all, FANTASTIC! I'm so happy to finally see this come out into alpha. And job well done for all the work that has gone into it so far. To be honest, I didn't even expect to be able to log in tonight. It turned out to be quite a decent experience overall. ESPECIALLY for being the initial alpha release. It brought back so many great memories of the early mod. 

 

But this would be a useless thread if I didn't provide a little feedback so a few things:

 

1. As it's mentioned in the known bugs, loot tables seem a little out of whack. Specifically, edible food. All three of my deaths were of starvation. One of which while I had a back pack full of tinned goods with no opener/knife or any other means of opening them. Everything else was just rotten fruit that seemed to do nothing.

 

2. I'm sure this is in the works, but I hope to see a little more feed back from the "My character feels" system when I do something. For example, it tells me I'm hungry, but when I eat, it doesn't say that it helped. A little confirmation as to the effect of an action would go a long way in allowing a player to intuitively figure out how to best correct certain situations. ESPECIALLY with all the new loot and craftable stuff lying around.

 

3. ... I had a third thing, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

 

Anyways, it's looking great, and I'm super excited for what's to come.

I found food, you must have looked were everybody else did. Be smart because loot doesn't have that crappy respwan thing anymore other than restarts!

I found food as well. Most of it rotten, but now that I know what the charcoal tablets are for.........

my problem and the problem with my buddy and two or three random people I talked to was drink.

I think you're right. Has there been anything said about how the loot is working? At one point I thought i read that there was going to be some kind of hybrid system between "everything spawns once at server reboot" and a "dynamically spawning system." Any confirmation on this?

 

Oh and also, I FOUND A CAN OPENER!!! I've never been so excited.

I've been doing pretty well to be honest. The only two problems I have with the game is that the unconscious state is bugged, and the fact of that half the players I run into always want to try to beat me to death.

I have only played for 2 hours max yesterday. So far I have found some clothing, assault vest, couple of M4A1's, 100+ 5.56 bullets with couple of magazines, can opener, tinned food, dried milk, few cans of soda. I am pretty much set for exploring. Plan is to find attachements for my weapon, water bottle and explore the map. I hope it will work with this "Shoot on sight mentality". So far I had a lot of fun and I really like the animations, inventory system and overall smoothnes of the game
