FIX THE DAMN PUPPETS FIRST

[@soapmode]

Yeah, I love the potential this game has but I won't be coming back until puppet spawns are sorted out.

[@derrickmorris3831]

anypne else remember when games were finalized when they were released on disk and not hundreds and hundreds of updates/patches?

[@RayKit]

The 90s were amazing weren't they.

[@Blanny1974]

I can remember when the latest patches for games were on a floppy disk sellotaped to the front of a magazine :)

[@RayKit]

@@Blanny1974 Now that is mad! Incredible how far we have come now. Gaming is just incredibly fun for me. Regardless of how long things take.. I just play other games. All fun!

[@oynlengeymer2434]

yes, Sonic the hedgehog was also not anything like what they are achieving now...

[@derrickmorris3831]

@@RayKit absolutely!

[@JLewis1979]

SCUM has so much potential. Updates like these are nice to hear about.

[@RayKit]

It really does. very refreshing. Devs have been hard at work.

[@F4KED]

this comment pops up every now and then for almost 6 years now XD

[@WizzleJizzy]

I only need the puppet fix. I really miss playing.

[@MrImmortal709]

ONly reason why I gave up on this game, since the Devs show 0 intentions to ever remove or replace their current system, all they do is tell people tha they "work" on it, despite doing absolutely nothing. But hey how about some more DLCs you can buy and support then nothingness that happens.

[@WizzleJizzy]

The best part about Scum is the realism. Random puppet drop spawns soured me.

[@WizzleJizzy]

I would like to see a chain reaction that could call in every puppet through hearing then render distance. The hoarde is the key, but if could see the potential hoarde before it's triggered... chefs kiss

[@Martinaccurate]

@@MrImmortal709 They are working on it, which means they do work on it. This foliage update is something players have been asking/wanting for a long time already. Yes, I would've liked to see it done quicker, but I also like to see things updated properly, which they didn't always do beforehand. Now they seem to be taking care of things in a proper way, which might take longer and as a result you can see the difference between the images of the foliage. We see the before and after, they need to literally rework the whole shebang, test, adjust more, repeat. And don't forget they have to adjust this for the whole map. This counts for the puppet system too. Things like: "They do absolutely nothing / they have 0 intentions to remove/replace things just because YOU don't like it" does not help them to improve the system nor makes them consider to revert something. They have reverted the hunting minigame, it was not functional and they realized, but guess how you figure that out right? Put it in the game and let players use it and test it. Same counts for the horde system. You can either help them by playing and testing or if you don't like it, go play something else and check out the game whenever the update mentions: Puppets fixed. Which could still be this current system but improved, they develop this game and see this fit as how the game should be, what makes you think that your preference will totally change their own development view? (and yes, I also can't wait for puppet/horde functionality reworks, because they do need that)

[@dr.rotwang]

Very nice to see some works in progress. That level of realism in the foliage and environment reworks is just amazing.

[@RayKit]

Looking beautiful mate!

[@ElixirEcho]

Uninstalled due to the puppets becoming broken. Ran a server for about a year. Not worth my time or money until it's working.

[@andrewbako9494]

I hate to be that guy but it doesn't matter what improvements they make to the game and what they add if they don't fix the puppets the game is dead

[@RayKit]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. The game isn't dead though. It's being developed.

[@andrewbako9494]

Agreed it's not dead yet and I understand that it's in early access and they're developing it. My point is if they're going to remain stubborn and never change the way the spawn system works the game is in fact dead it will never be what it could be and that's sad@@RayKit

[@RayKit]

@@andrewbako9494 Appreciate your comment dude! I can assure you right now.. They're fixing the puppets. They know the issues. A lot of the NPC/puppets are in the new "encounter system" Which is the new way to handle puppets. They'll get em fixed. Just a matter of time mate. Not the end of the world.

[@holtreese1839]

Hate to be that guy but not everyone who works for gamepires is a big fixer.

[@Ratamanthis]

Imagine if the new NPCs spawn when you are 50 meters close to them.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Two things I'd like to see implemented into SCUM. 1 - When you take over a townhouse and you've put your flag down, locked the doors and boarded the windows up, then there needs to be a _one off mechanism_ where you can go to your flag and tell it to remove unwanted items in the house. When you've clicked that option, you go around your house *clicking on the items you want to KEEP.* When you've done that, you go back to the flag and click accept and all the junk you didn't want, has gone. 2 - The Ability to climb, climbable trees. Just dropped into game. There's a growl. A wolf or bear or even a boar is after you. Your only option is to outrun it if there's a nearby building, jump into a deep and wide enough river and swim or give up and die. But now you'll have the chance to climb a tree to safety. And if you're into PvP. Imagine having a fully ghillied squad mate up a tree telling you were other players are. But then he'd be an easy target, unless he's good at cammo.

[@RayKit]

Not sure about the flag idea as it would need to be redone. Maybe mods in the future? Changes to how flags are made.. Climbing trees is something that would be so cool! Great idea!

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

@@RayKit Thank you. Though I'd guess there would need to be a whole new set of house interiors to be able to remove clutter in townhouses and that'd be a huge change.

[@2modd4]

to no 2: can you climb a tall tree (with no branches close to the ground)? And did you know that many bear genus can? ;)

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

@@2modd4 Hense I said a climbable tree. And yes. I know bears climb trees, but adults are less inclined too because of their heavy weight. However. I've yet to see a wild boar or a wolf climb one. Oh! And if the tree is not that large in circumference, dinner plate size, and has no branches, then I've climbed plenty of them when I was a kid.

[@razertheopportunist8790]

when they are in the office one of the desk is highlighted like maybe we will be able to move furniture in the buildings

[@RayKit]

@razertheopportunist8790 good point! Maybe

[@DusthoundYT]

Ah that’s a nice visual update, LOD looks good and environment is looking promising, hope to see this improvement soon, thanks for the video update!

[@RayKit]

This update will be amazing when completed. So many other cool games to play while waiting for this treasure. Gaming has never been this exciting.

[@AngelParedes94]

The after about the snow bioma in the forest looks amazing. This proves that the game has big potential

[@RayKit]

Been saying it this whole time my friend! Scums going to be awesome!

[@FrostBeam009]

Scum has potential.. Devs just seems to be half asleep if not asleep.

[@RayKit]

Devs are just busy. Nice to see things coming along.

[@Vluxuation]

Pretty much how I feel. I want to really like this game but can't rn. Just waiting for 1.0 at this point.

[@MrZBrains]

That snow biome looks awesome, also can't wait for some NPCs🤖 they got me waiting I know they busy but damn😩

[@RayKit]

Looks gorgeous!

[@milanmottl8983]

I really wonder how the game would look like on Unreal Engine 5.... do you think it is possible to upgrade the game from UE4 to 5?

[@RayKit]

I would love to see how it would look. So much customisation it would take forever.

[@infinitestars394]

Finally a juicy sneak peak again, I didn't expect that! The Foliage, snow area, LOD rework is looking very good. Also can't wait for the POI rework, seeing the same interriors for years is getting kinda meh... This is gonna be awesome!

[@RayKit]

Exciting times!

[@Gazbeard]

Awesome to look at if you want a desktop wallpaper creator ... but where's the gameplay? (PvP is not gameplay - it's just digital masturbation)

[@MrImmortal709]

As long as they don't remove the crappy horde system that only triggers Puppet Spawns -after- you haven been in a POI for some time the game is simply not worth it for any PvE player.

[@RayKit]

Puppets are getting fixed. Cannot come soon enough

[@GamingInfested]

in 20 years this game will be something I am sure

[@RayKit]

25 years

[@BeefyBacardi]

It would be nice if they gave us a patch in the near future (sooner than "Soon™"), under the understanding that it would be a beta and not what they think is good enough to be 1.0 out the gate.

[@RayKit]

1.0 is not as close as we think.

[@loadtoad]

So HOPPY to see everything coming together and becoming even MORE of a Juggernaut than originally anticipated! Thanks for another FUNTASTIC post!!! RIBBIT!!!

[@RayKit]

Thanks Load!

[@AndyDufresne86]

So they´re partially still working hard for the promised 0.95 content. No need for new trailers, we already had one who contained everything.

[@RayKit]

Still more to the story though

[@Blanny1974]

When your mic is on-brand with a red hat but you aren't...:) Keep up the good work Ray.

[@RayKit]

New chapters my friend! I'm still me! Just a better version.

[@MadPolish1]

Like we really need foliage changes now!

[@Trav-pp2od]

Why are the devs blocking certain people with feedback to improve their game

[@pawelunikow1563]

Cuz they Amateurs

[@freekill1_ttv]

I love the game, but the main reason now for my not playing it and/or streaming it its the servers, i cant find one good enough

[@RayKit]

Come join the server i stream on. Pure Scum hardcore server. True Scum feels. Perfect and exciting

[@Ayns.L14A]

Cheers Ray..

[@RayKit]

Pleasure!

[@doomslayerforever2858]

So many games have ai running around. So when they add them they will prob be buggy for a other 5 years

[@RayKit]

This isn't every other game. This is unique

[@doomslayerforever2858]

Just waiting for more it's boring atm

[@davidriggs6751]

We need a update for real . The game is dead dead . Nothing to do with. Nothing !

[@KyubiHitashi]

bloody hell, still gpu,cpu and ram missing to play this game, dang it, im craving this bloody game

[@Varos.]

The game could be interesting again for thousands of players in a *matter of seconds*. Just set up a rollback before the horde system has made the game unplayable. You don't have to fix anything, just cut off the cancer instead of trying out new shaman magic. No matter if SCUM is updated to UNREAL v20 hyperrealistic then you will only be able to see the misery in much more detail....

[@alexc4115]

Looks good, not gonna lie though i kinda like the deep heavy snow area we've got.

[@RayKit]

Sexy trees 🌳

[@tyleredmondson645]

Love scum, love the improvements they are making. Id like to see more things like the killbox where they emphasize that you are in a "game show". Maybe speakers set up across the map announcing Airdrops and New Events.

[@cryptodipso]

They would make mad money if they just release this on console

[@Eli-mb5wd]

There are plans for it

[@RayKit]

@@cryptodipso they are ;)

[@happystash]

Looks good.

[@seraphimipx2611]

hmm... nice... but what we all always really wanted was just some more food recipes (egg + oil + salt + pepper = omlett), making use of the 20 different types of mushrooms, and a working cooking as well as metabolic system... actually the recipes would have been enough. - we liked to play this game for survival. undofortunately in all these years they did not add more than 2 or 3 recipes for cooking... although there are sooo many items in the game.

[@rizzi420]

I dont believe in any pictures or trailers from Scum anymore. Why ? cause go and check the older pics , and ask yourself.

[@RayKit]

Games improving all the time. Setbacks are allowed. it's being developed and not finished

[@MechGyver10g]

I have to admit it does sound interesting

[@MalkaMoon]

Absolutely PSYCHED for the new and improved. Appreciated the fact that Matofski popped in and had a chat with us. Really looking forward to the coming update, I understand that fixes don't happen in the span of weeks and that there's a ton that needs to be done. People will always have their opinions still. I'm appreciative of the devs coming to streams, hearing us out and then there's the QnA to look forward to, too!

[@RayKit]

Completely agree. This is going to be one hell of a game when it's complete. Graphically changing also for the better. Look forward to a QA in the future with them humbled as always but them dropping into the streams.

[@MalkaMoon]

@@RayKit really in the mood to compare every other survival game out there with Scum at 1.v, gameplay/visually etc. I know you "cant compare".... Yet. 😏

[@WardSpose]

Pants

[@RayKit]

[@LagunaFox]

Welp guess I better enjoy the game now while I can because looking at that there is zero chance my laptop runs the game once it starts looking like that. I know they are doing it because their "optimization" is continuing to improve, but devs always seem to go overboard lately adding way more to games than their optimization can compensate for and so performance for people on the low end always seems to tank. I know technology is always moving forward and sooner or later you either buy a better computer or get left in the dust but nothing sucks more than buying a game, enjoying it for awhile and then suddenly an update later on makes it practically unplayable. I hope I am wrong, I really hope they aren't biting off more than my laptop can chew but everytime I hear optimization and graphics upgrade in the same update I remember all the times that never went well for my bargain bin computers.

[@Ryan40272]

Steadily waiting on the map to get expanded, or at least don't have items despawn so fast.

[@challengerprod]

Too little too late. So many promises at the round table yet the game has only gone backwards in enjoyability

[@GhostRider-eq3ki]

I think ticks snakes spider bites even poison oak would be Epic fun and like if you pee in your pants that attracts scary things that well eat you so unless you keep clean your sent is a real issue attracting nasty things that want to eat you looks great more realistic trees are Epic thanks for vid !

[@RayKit]

Sounds like fun good ideas! Thanks Ghost!

Not holding my breath

[@RayKit]

Each to their own :) This game is unique. Not like other games.

[@SilentEchoes3]

It's only a matter of time! I have faith this will be the best survival game we have ever seen.

[@RayKit]

it will! So many negative nancies.

[@psies2005]

I must say. I play pax dei which also uses UE5 and these games look amazing. Especially when they are going to use 5.3 or higher..

[@omaribrahim2990]

I have not played this game ever since the hord system and the zombie changes. it completely ruined the game for me since I only play singleplayer. Im waiting for the NPCs to come so that they can make the singleplayer experience better and less empty.

[@psies2005]

Is this nanite from UE5?

[@AlexA-ou7wi]

I love scum, ive played it almost 1000 hours but right now i keep waiting on big updates that will hopefuly bring something new to the game and fix up the issues with zombies. The issue for me is once you play Dayz and give it a chance to learn the basics, scum becomes almost boring in a way. I know the games have differences, in some ways Dayz is worse than Scum, in some it is much better. It also hugely depends on server rules and difficulty etc. of coarse but Dayz feels more like a true harsh and hard zombie apocalypse which i like, if you are sloppy or make 1 mistake it can cost you life even when you have all the gear and guns in the world. I just hope scum devs release a huge update soon because we have been waiting enough

[@JLewis1979]

On the server RK plays on, it's lower loot, higher puppet damage, and only random spawn if you die.

[@RayKit]

Want a real challenge and fun? Join pure Scum hardcore server. Enough said. Honestly.. it's how Scum should be in the first place.

[@likebubba7073]

pls tell me day z has sp cause I always play scum sp cause 😂 yeah so much to get into but I avoided it for that reason only.

[@AlexA-ou7wi]

@@likebubba7073 Yeah i only play solo, i prefer PVE. i play on my own LAN server alone with no other players, it is very easy to set it up i managed to do it and i don’t know much of anything in PC’s xD So it doesn’t have a single player mode per say like in scum but at the same time it does if you create your server. Just do a quick search «how to play single player in dayz» or «how to create own server» and watch on yt👍 Its really nice, i had same issue at first i didnt want to play on other servers. Give it a chance, you got it

@@JLewis1979 i might have to try it then

[@exhin]

That is looking very dope!

[@RayKit]

Yep!

[@brichards989]

I really don't understand the direction of these developers. In its current state, especially as a PVE player, this game is just not playable. I don't understand what they're doing with dropships and all this other stuff when the puppets aren't right. This game has potential to be the absolute best at its class but they need to listen to the player base. They don't seem to be doing so.

[@jimmysjogren1045]

This thing whith Dev update's realy show how mutsh they are doing whith the game that we cant see =))

[@OmegAGod85]

WHAAAAAAT???? OMG!!!!!! FOLIAGE REWORKED AND IT SEEMS MORE REALISTIC!!!!! UNBELIE...for fckng sake. Just fix the lag, the glitches, the catapulting bodies, the freeze when ads, the bug sound you get as if someone is shooting next to you, and and and.

[@DSFXRENDER]

nothing too crazy here tbf...

[@RayKit]

@@DSFXRENDER Wouldn't go that far. games nice. Runs well. People just get bored too fast these days. Other than bugs game is fine.

[@DSFXRENDER]

@@RayKit gunplay/movement is just subpar, ai still an absolute mess years later they pride their selves on their movement, but it's a floaty the aspects it's meant to hit, it doesn't hit, everything else sure it hits, like crafting etc all that additional stuff, but when it comes down to movement/combat it's garbo used to be a huge advocate for the game. but i can't get keep boarding the hope train :'D

[@sekedargaming9622]

Can they make the zombie act and reaction is like state of decay 2 or maybe better than that, I just always Laughing when see the puppet animation and act how they attack it's same like dayz very poor animation 😂

[@JEMsTv_]

This is why I will always love having the opportunity to be part of an early access! game!
