An honest question about whether there are more steps back then forward.

[Rick1633 136]

I seriously want to have discussion about whether we are seeing more steps forward or more steps back.  By my account, it is the latter.  

 

Here is my accounting thus far....

 

Steps back...... 1.  They broke the games ability to render bullet hits past 100m.  So zeroing in your sniping shots is now broken.  The game used to render bullets hitting objects at over 800m.  2.  The zombies now instantly disappear when you kill them.  3. We know have a 500 sec. Wait timer because its a lazy way to solve ghosting or hopping.  4.  The game pauses with a error message at the worst time.

 

Steps forward....1. We got a new gun or two.        Thats all i got for steps forward.

Not sure if serious or not. If you had taken the time to read some of the recent change logs, or look at the pinned threads on Reddit (if you swing that way), you would have noticed a great deal of new things that take steps forward. Although I do agree with you that the game has had some backward steps in the new updates, I guess you could argue that's what the Alpha is all about. 

Steps forward THIS UPDATE ALONE include:

1. 1:1 mouse movement, a god send!
2. New guaranteed messaging network system to reduce de-sync and teleporting and increase speeds for inventory management and item dropping.
3. Physics has been implemented, which will allow for some crazy ass shit later on when it comes to movement, ragdoll, dragging bodies etc...
4. New towns

Among many bug fixes and item additions. 

 

You can't really be serious...

Honestly if that's all you got out of the recent patch, I think you need to read the patch notes again. Guaranteed messaging is huge just to name one.

We got a new town or two. We have faster zombies that can outrun players even if you don't have a weapon equipped. We have zombies that can one-shot you if they hit the head. Police stations. 

 

I will let you decide if they are steps forward or backwards.

i havent played the new patch for now.

Does it mean, that i dont see anymore the bullet impact after 100 meter?

When do people express their opinion on the progress, if everything will be changed 10 times.

Yes". People are pissed about this one.  I hope they fix it fast.

If you want to critisize the development of this game (as we all know you like to do - it's fine) - do it properly and more informed.

 

The net guaranteed messaging and time acceleration takes up a lot of developing power and by saying "ouh, that's not much" or "why is that taking so long?" you disqualify yourself to give an oppinion about the development speed and knowledge about devwork on big projects like hits. Those are massive steps in the right direction and when I was testing it on experimental when it came out, it was working flawlessly.

 

Those things do require a lot of coding work and I was sure there were things going to break with something as ambitious as that.

 

TL;DR: Get your information correct before trying to critisize a game, as you end up making yourself look like a fool.

Then instead of making an uninformed post such as this I advise you to read up on things, like the previous posters obviously have. Even replying to their comments - the ones that point out the steps forward - would have been a step forward on your part.

 

Locked. PM should you have a valid reason or reasons for it to be unlocked.

 

And no, before anyone says asks, this is not censorship - I really couldn't care if the game is criticized. I don't play it. But what I do care about is the manner in which one criticizes something.
