[@rickybuhl3176]

Considering how early this is in development, that was pretty impressive. Proper scav approach also looks like it gives properly interesting results and some tense moments. What are we, 6-8 years less dev time than Tarkov? Give them time to cook and this could well be pretty special.

[@matx6666]

Can confirm that playing like a scav is pretty tense. Sadly there are some issues with the trigger for the Hunter Killers to be too easy to trigger. It's so bad in the Mesa map that my raid are now full sprint 6-9 minutes run through because I keep triggering hunter killers after looting 1-2 things. In maps I don't know or intended to explore I end up looting nothing until I can see the extraction and then fill up my bags quick and leave. At the end of the day what you loot barely matters because you can sell everything and buy everything you need or want at the vendors.

[@balistafreak]

@@matx6666 Certain specific objects instantly trigger Hunter Killers if looted, especially some items that are requested by quests.

Besides the obvious of it being EA and needing work, the gameplay loop is super fun. If you play it like tarkov you are gonna have a bad time.

The moment the faction units start engaging each other, you can pretty much safely run away and reposition yourself. They would only switch back to deeming your a threat (if you were already one before that) once everything else have same or higher threat level are dead. Also yes, it is possible to run straight in between them without getting shot at, but you would still catch a stray, still cool though. Think yourself as threat level 0.5, and everything else is a +1 as they get bulkier/bigger/higher and you can get an estimate of what threat level those units might be to each other.

Unironically sneaking about i found to of been the worse way to play it in it's current state. If you sneak, you become too long in raid and more enemies show up or worse hunter killers start chasing you down. You're sneaking about avoiding confrontation while watching two groups battle it out so you can take the scraps? Here's an entire group of enemies spawning behind you. I've literally just run and gunned every raid and survived. The AI either fights, or has the worst path finding i've seen to just not keep up with you. That whole phrase "you're not that guy" is such a gimmick at this point. Run and gun like Doom Guy and you will get loot and quests done easily. Let the game cook for a couple months up to a year to remotely be close to how they portrayed it in the trailers. Worst decision ever listening to the community demanding it to be released into early access with just one public playtest with a limited amount of spots. I really want to like the game, but it's got so much work to do that even after multiple fixes, patches and upgraded/added content. I can see the core gameplay loop getting real stale real fast unless big changes are added. Epic Game installation stuff again which is not mentioned anywhere, that's another gripe with most players negative reviews along with the micromanaging water system of irl real-time days of water. (I know that's being worked on.) I purposely got 30+ days in mine because that's most likely the amount of time i'm already taking a break from it. The AI is darn right pathetic. If they lock onto you, they hunt you down to the ends of the earth no matter where you are, how long you've cut off site. They spawn on top of you, in front of you, beside you, behind you, under you, above you. It's just borderline broken and a massive immersion breaker. Don't kid yourself there is exploration like shown in the trailers. It's the same as tarkov, very clear only one way paths, invisible walls, you have to push through the ai to get to extract or to do anything. There is far more less exploration. The AI makes Tarkovs scavs look like they are blind, it's ridiculous. They literally hunt you down and you might as well just alt f4 if it's that robot cyborg dog/lion thing. The game feels and looks amazing, atmosphere is spot on. But when you see the absolute daft stuff with ai and their spawns, you're quickly taken out. I had two tanks spawn directly in front of me supported by infantry.... INSIDE OF A BUILDING. Enemies from a far are literally 2d sprites mimicking movement. Disappointing to say the least. Those trailers although was promising, you would of thought they would of optimised it more and have multiplayer operational at launch. I wish steam had a mixed review option other than negative or positive. Atmosphere wise, amazing. But this should of stayed in the oven a lot longer before release with a lot more beta/playtests from the public. I'm around 85% disappointed. I've heard of early access but this is just ain't it. They never should of listened to the community asking for it to release early. Main thing going for it is the aesthetic & atmosphere. A lot of work needed across the board in every single aspect. A lot of bugs i just haven't even mentioned. Certain guns not collecting xp, deleting gun loadouts crashes the game, movement and camera work is abysmal, very stupid mechanics of when either being in raid too long or picking up certain items you are automatically locked on by unbeatable enemies that will chase you down until you extract. Like i said. It has potential. But they never should of listened to the community demanding for an early access.

I think they want people to log in to keep their base in shape; you can store quite a lot of water (55 days worth without improvements) but it's an odd mechanic. I would rather we had to trade water to open up the stations than have "your water level must be this high for station X to unlock" that we are using. Maybe it's a way to get people to play more during the beta?

[@z3bra_f0untain36]

Devs have already stated that they're going to change the real-time water mechanic. I would expect this to be one of the first major reworks they implement

[@anderskronquist9750]

@z3bra_f0untain36 I don't necessarily mind the water mechanic as a way to gate the unlocks of the base, but the offline decay is punishing especially for people who just poke their head in. I'd say give options to make the offline decay much less of a problem (decay reducing the less water you have?) and let people keep what's in their hands and rig.

[@Clovericious]

@@z3bra_f0untain36 God I hope so because the rest of the game genuinely looks great. I get that they are experimenting and may have thought that real time water decay was a good idea in that it gets players more invested, but it just seems like the kind of thing that makes much of the game's content exclusive to those with a lot of time on their hands.

[@KyleParkin-z9j]

I have really been enjoying this game so far. The character controller is a little wonk and "sticky". That is my big hold back on diving in more. I feel like a get stuck on to many things and movement is not very clean...

[@Zal-TheBug]

I think some of that is definitely been with the amount of high-movement shooters on the market. However, you are also absolutely right. Some of the terrain has "hitches" in them, where your character cannot walk up or around the protrusion and stops all momentum seemingly at random. Or the occasional area that feels like an invisible wall, but only cause a jank hit box is shin-high. Luckily playing slow is when you don't notice it, but then that makes the fast gameplay artificially "trickier".

[@gjergskender8536]

my only suggestion is play more with "momentum" and less precision. they have a great deal of optimization to do on clipping. but using inertia seems to help alot.

I like the game, but I don't like how the game will sometimes spawn guys next to you and they instantly start shooting you

[@shul5684]

They will fix that at some point. They should spawn at a certain distance from the player. What I dislike is watching them spawn right in front of you. I don’t mind if they spawn near me but out of my sight. It just adds to the tension of constantly having to look every which way to make sure you are not dying.

[@edmondchan3426]

This game has "you are not that guy" energy but COD and Battlefield has conditioned most players to want to have "I am that guy" mindset. I like how this game is encouraging the former by discouraging combat rather than restricting.

[@Dante_S550_Turbo]

the balance isn't too great after a few raids and using decent ammo we go in as a 4 man and we are a 4 man army, "hunter killers" just means more loot. losing that scavenger in a war feeling. Can't wait to see how this game evolves. Hopefully the stupid review bombs about game mechanics doesn't deter their vision for the game.

WARNING: This game has a persistent water depletion system where if your base goes down to 0 water you lose EVERYTHING. You lose water even while not playing the game so it is essentially forcing you to play regularly. The devs have already stated that they are firm on this mechanic being core to the game.

[@Lightscribe225]

Yeah, but it takes a full day to bring your water level down by 1. Completing a mission gets you water as a reward in 1s and 2s and you can scavenge for more in each raid. And the cap is at 80. So barring some tragedy that keeps you away for 3 months, your risks of losing everything isn't that high.

[@rabbidowl1235]

@@Lightscribe225 What if I'm just not interested in playing for a few months?

[@derdox6720]

@@rabbidowl1235 to be fair, you just compared forever winter with a story heavy game based on dialogue. if your bg3 save disappears that is hours of story and dialogue you have to sit through again, but if the water in forever winter runs out and you loose almost everything, then you are still just repeating the same game loop you did before. its a game where you enter a battlefield, scavenge and repeat and if you have to start from the beginning, you will still enter a battlefield, scavenge and repeat, so i do understand, that some people, including the devs apparently, are fine with it

Whether I lose all I have in raids gone bad or I just had no time to restock water, I'll get knocked back down, but it doesn't take away my ability to get back up and try again.

[@aotmoments7410]

They could implement a threat or wanted system similar to GTA, where different levels escalate NPC reactions. At 1 star, NPCs avoid you unless you attack them. At 2 stars, they’ll shoot if they see you, but won’t chase. With 3 stars, they actively pursue and engage. At 4 stars, if one enemy spots you, everything nearby will converge to take you down-you're pretty much screwed at this point. And at 5 stars, being seen means certain death as the entire map unites to hunt you down and obliterate you.

[@p.l.u.s9836]

Even though this is in early access and they are still adding tweaks to the game.

I'm nowhere near having encountered all the enemy types yet, so I'm wondering what else I'll have to learn about the opposition's behavior if I'm going to stay alive. I'll also be eternally grateful to Rozkil's early game guide teaching me to stock up on suppressors and ditch the surplus rifle the instant I have a gun that can be silenced.

they should do missions where you drop stuff off without extracting, at like a hidden box, for someone else to pick up, which generates a community mission. if they can successfully recover it, you get your stuff, they get paid. they should also place trap in loot to look out for, like tracker that increase aggro, and timed mines.

I’ve played a bit over be last few days and this is pretty much how I’ve been doing it. Playing with a squad lets you be slightly more aggressive, playing solo you have to play a little smarter. There’s also a surprising amount of variety in the gaming experience depending on which map you play and what time it is in the world. This map is a literal nightmare if you get the night time version. Piles of corpses, with the super tanky reclamation units and tonnes of zombies. It’s a horror level. And levels like the Mech Trenches are room to room combat if you take certain routes. And you’ll want to take them because they’re called the mech trenches for a reason
