Few thoughts and questions...

[[email protected] 16]

First of all, won't bother you with an wall of text, pretty tired from work. Had an few hours of free time today and decided to try out the Standalone.

 

Positives:

 

+ The map... it really is a lot better than before. Almost every building is enterable!

+ Graphics seem a little better, colours too.

+ Animations for the player character have improved a LOT, but still need some work.

+ So many items... and hey, it's just the start! Imagine how much crazy stuff we gona have by this time next year!

+ The inventory sistem imo. is miles better than the one in the mod.

+ Zombies don't run around like crazy and you can actually hit them.

 

Negatives/bugs/glitches

 

- Why so few zombies? I walked the entire coastline and maybe i saw 3-4 zombies, that's it. Is it a bug, or...? I remember watching Rockets streams that there were far more zombies.

- Zombies still have the same problem like in the mod -  they hit you trough walls, fall trough the floor etc. 

- The thing that most people here complain - almost no loot - food and water especially. I found maybe 1 or 2 cans of soda in 4 hours of playing and thats it. Already died from thirst... I know it's  apocalypse but still.

- You get thirst and hungry wayyyyyyy to fast. And i never even sprint, i just walk or jog.

- Perfomance in big cities is still pretty bad. 2500k/GTX670 and i play at low-med settings. In cherno i have 25-30fps tops. Outside of the big cities it's smooth.

 

Some bugs i noticed:

 

* When a black character wears gloves he/she ( trough magic ) gets white hands :). I know it's nothing big, but still.

* Can hear people on comms even though there is no sidechat ( people on the other side of the map )

* Accidently fell of a building, died, but when i switched servers i was still alive? 

* Some times, guns/items don't have any description so i can't tell in what condition are they.

 

I will post more if i notice them. Also, how do i post in the BUG REPORT section of the forum? It asks for my username/password but it says it's incorect. Do i have to make a new account to post in that section of the forum.

 

PS. Sorry if i made some mistakes. English isn't my first language...

Alpher! 

 

I agree with you on all the positive things.

 

Just remember, it's AN ALPHER!

I know that it's an alpha and that a lot of things are gona change/be fixed. Didn't mean anything ''bad'' with the negative list.

 

Just posting my impressions and bugs i found to ( try at least ) help out the devs :).

You just need to know where to look for loot. It's actual not that difficult to get basic shit.

It's actually more than easy.

 

Looking through the supermarkets can be really rewarding as people aren't really looking there anymore.
