I Know it's Alpha... But the 3 Biggest Problems Right Now Are.

PabloFajita · January 1, 2014

1. Horrible Optimization, specifically talking about Towns/Cities... Hopefully it will be addressed well before this game reaches "Release".

2. Server Hopping... Basically people running to Balota Tents area or any other Military location. Logging out, popping onto a 0/1 Pop Night Server Turning up Gamma looting care free like crazy. Rinse and Repeat. Until they're fully decked out with more ammo then they know what to do with. This also relates to people killing fresh spawns, as it's mostly these guys who server hop to get weapons/ammo then running to the spawn trails.

3. Combat Logging... Nothing is more rage inducing. Again it's mostly the people who do #2 who do this shady tactic as well.

Again, yes I know it's Alpha... And hopefully these issues will be addressed in Alpha/Beta... But I have seen plenty games with issues in Alpha/Beta that were known but somehow still made their way into "Release".

Hopefully this game isnt one of them :)

Another thread starting with 'I know it's Alpha but...'

All three topics have been addressed at length, and the devs are aware and have measures in place to resolve all three going forwards. Starting a thread saying 'I know it's an Alpha but... [proceeds to complain/point out painfully obvious]' doesn't help anyone or anything, and just makes it harder to find the less well-reported problems players are having, because they get lost amongst the threads of people complaining about things that have been acknowledged and are to be expected in a very early Alpha.

1. I can live with for now.

2 and 3. Would love these fixed ASAP. Not because I'm impatient/ungrateful, but so the systems get a full work out and bug testing so they are perfect :P

I know you want to help OP, but please use the search. These things have all been discussed at length. If you have anything to contribute to the individual issues, it is better to do that in well established threads.

"The Three biggest problems in Stand Alone are X, Y and Z!!!"

Er... you're aware this has been a prevalent problem since the mod and the devs are working on it right? Have been ever since they began to crop up?

Thank you for your new and refreshing input.

I never played the mod, so actually I wasn't aware of this.

And to the others who said these are well known issues.

My bad, I only saw threads about the optimization issues.

I hadn't seen any ones talking about Server Hopping for Loot or Combat Logging to avoid death and/or to pop in to kill someone after.

I didn't make this thread to complain, I made it to help point out what I perceived to be big issues with the game, since well, it's Alpha.

Sorry if my post enraged people for whatever reason... Wasn't my intention.
