Just regarding the

We might love the game, but it still has a lot of major bugs and issues, it´s almost 2 years old and half of the map is not revamped “updated”.
The remaining DLC´s are still many months away (and some might need more time).
The new consoles transition has been a flop due to low production, economic problems and scalpers.
This is off topic, although devs are the ones who decide, focusing only on PC and New gen before “finishing” the game would be wrong.
Yes the game is compatible to new systems, but at least they should finish the game before finally advancing.
That is all I have to say, and won´t even comment with the mess this topic has become :stuck_out_tongue: .

Why cant something else be added, like a smarter AI, or a new bot?
I really don’t think anybody would complain about it, and a lot of people are saying a new robot should be added anyway, and even posted some great ideas about them.

knew my spicy opinion was extra hot sauce xD no sweat man, stay tuned for a vid i have planned on this. but yeah lets keep things to the vehicular side here :smiley:

I get that some people love the ever-evolving game where the end result usually ends up completely different what the game used to be. I, in the other hand, prefer the initial (launch day) state since back then, GZ was truly something unique.

Here, i agree. Devs should ditch the support for Xbox/PS4 and focus on PC/latest gen consoles when moving forwards. This move alone would open up GZ into loads of new features, even the minor ones, like wildlife (birds, rodents, deers, perhaps even a moose). Downside is all the Xbox/PS4 players who would be left behind.

Discussion moved here to keep the source topic on-point.

I do not fault that in the slightest aesyle, honestly the game we day oners fell in love with is a distant memory, i’d say even since shortly before alpine unrest when the archipelago got its first face lift we started to see the direction and tone shift.
I myself try to go with the flow, as that’s where my passions brought me to, but i completely understand the side of the fence that just wants their old gen z back…

when i make my vid (that will likely be hated to high hell) on youtube i’ll share it this way so we can start a thread on it proper and have multiple inputs. my hope for it is that people will see the reasoning behind it! :slight_smile:

Additional merge. :slightly_smiling_face:

Not be a downer, but the launch day state was incredibly glitchy, and unforgiving. So, sorry, but personally, im thinking its better to be more progressive.

Yeah. These were the good old times.

For me, the saving grace is that i’m more into the lore than actual gameplay mechanics. Still, i liked the tough decisions i had to make when there was no Plundra and going on looting runs, just to collect enough ammo to take down bigger machines, without getting about 80% used ammo back from the kill of a tank. Oh, there were no spoon feeding as well and i love to use my head, instead being like a rat in the tunnel, following one POI icon to the next.

But with bugs and glitches aside, how was the launch day GZ? E.g game mechanics (no Plundra), no spoon feeding and the like?

Gotta admit, it was pretty cool, and I’m not saying that all of the things about it was bad. I’m just saying, advancement is sometimes a good thing.

It depends what kind of advancement. Additional lore? Sure. More missions to go alongside the lore? Yes. Early cut features making a comeback? Why not. (e.g: prone, crafting, bounty misssons -> rivals) But changes to core gameplay? No thanks. (e.g POI icons, Plundra, machine loot, base building, vehicles)

Random thought: I’d like to have WOP-35 back on the market.

By the way, I always forget to ask. in the location “radio tower forruden” there is a white container that requires a key to open. where to get this key?

But there is no key.

I don’t know under which topic this is best suited to talk about, so I’ll try here.

The “Gameplay and Q&A” live streams is what’s on my mind. Simply put, they disappoint me. :roll_eyes:
I never have time to watch them when they go live, so I have to catch them whenever. I don’t watch all of them, but this recent one (13.01.) I wanted to watch, just to see if any new info for 2021 would come up… So, I just watched Pontus casually roam around the map for 1 hour +, doing basically nothing of interest. I was that close to clicking that X when he was messing around IGA.

So, how many direct questions regarding the game did Pontus answer? Not many, that’s for sure! And none that I hoped for an answer to. So what am I really supposed to get out of watching these streams? If I just wanted to kill 1 hour, I’d much rather play GZ myself than watch someone else play it. No surprise, but I never understood why streaming games is so popular to begin with. But hey, if you enjoy these streams, good for you at least. :slight_smile:

Please, don’t get me wrong. This isn’t just me venting toxicity. I would love for these streams to be improved, and for them to be as genuinely interesting as possible. Not just something to casually watch for an hour. Would it not be as simple as having two people host the stream? Pontus could be playing and chit-chatting, and another person, maybe even a dev, could focus on reading and answering questions, and talking to the viewers? :slightly_smiling_face:

Please don’t hate me for my blasphemy if these streams are sacred to you! :grimacing:

I would like to hear your opinions on this. :slight_smile:

Yes exactly . I saw the broadcast for the first time and thought it would be like a news announcement or showing some features or secrets. but after 20 minutes I turned it off and it seems not in vain))

@DmitryAleks don’t worry, you didn’t miss anything. No news, no teasers, nothing. :wink:

Oh, and “We got big stuff planned for 2021” doesn’t count as a teaser IMO.

I just thought so) maybe in the future they will change the approach to broadcasting) 60 viewers for such a game is certainly funny. you just need at least some script. content

Ah, remember though it’s 60 via Twitch, plus YouTube channel, Facebook, and Twitter so there’s comfortably 3 figure crowds tuned in to the stream.

I’ll +1 on having a set script/ timetable for future 2021 streams.

at least it would be interesting to look at the farm on guerilla difficulty without deaths. but definitely not the shooting of green cars from the experimental pvg90))
