Thanks for the link, Hubble. The big things I’ve been irked about were machines not dropping loot quite frequently… especially after hard fought battles against Tyrants. However, playing today, I’ve not had any such problem, so maybe it was just a network glitch or my Xbox just having a couple bad days. Lol! However, I do believe others have reported machines not dropping loot.
Something else that irks me is no recovery for lost weapons. I am extremely careful when it comes to recycling, and if I’ve accidentally recycled, say, an experimental weapon, there needs to be a way to recover it. I had an Experimental Kvm 59 MG (electrical) and did not have occasion to take it out of my storage boxes til now, and now it’s disappeared. How about a Favorites system? Any weapon/attachment mareked as Favorite cannot be recycled or dropped unless you unFavorite that item.
Just remembered, I have a Special (Yellow) Kvm 59 Machine Gun, and it will not take magazine attachments.
I guess I’m also just a little irked about the notion that there is not gonna be anymore update/patch support for this game which I’ve enjoyed (especially with the QoL improvements) over the years. I understand that after a while, yes, support for games may drop, but if a game is still thriving, I don’t see why support should drop, unless there is a Gen Zero 2 in the works. I named my machine companion “Sir Chrome Hound” after another game that, IMHO, was dropped for support way too soon, that being Chromehounds.
Yeah there should be a topic or a post about that somewhere. We already asked for it long time ago, but it didn’t make it to the game.
Nevertheless, except for the empty loot in some machines from time to time I don’t see a bug in your post. Well, maybe the Kvm59 you mentioned. Haven’t heard of this kind of issue yet. If it’s still a thing, you sadly can’t do much. As you’re playing on Xbox, you’re not able to send your safegame file to the devs.
Yeah, that is a disadvantage with consoles when trying to explain an issue. Can’t send save game. Might be able to send a screenshot, but how do you save a screenshot of losing a weapon? Especially when that loss isn’t noticed till much later? Lol.
I’m still playing the game simply because, outside of its flaws, it is a pretty relaxing game.
As I stated elsewhere, perhaps in another topic, the issues I’ve described are probably not universal, as there have been players who’ve said they’ve not encountered the problems I’ve had. It’s like when someone buys a newly released game, and lots of players report problems, but there’s always a few players who haven’t encountered those issues, even if a patch/ fix hadn’t been made yet.
A bit mind boggling that the devs would not introduce a Favorites system to prevent accidental drops or recycles of Favorited items… especially if it was widely agreed upon by players.
I doubt they will fix anything, the game is unplayable for myself and others due to extremely poor performance on console and PC, even with powerful PC setups.
I guess the New Year Lunar event or what is was named is over, because I couldn’t find any more fireworks today. And with that also the previous state with performance hiting the fan like shit rater soner then later is back…
Strange that a programmed event had that impact and while it was active, everything flowed a little better in GZ, on PC anyway. Now the anoying splash screen announcing “Hey, you’ve found this 2C Ironside 57 times now.” Just flashes a few times before it crasch itself almost as fast as the FPS did in the weekly “Get in to the FNIX base” mission.
I think I’ll have to wait even longer this time than some days before I test GZ again.
Mine as well, but we’ll just have to advocate as best we can. I’m just trying to decide the best method to use for the poll. There is a way to do it within the forum which would be easiest, but that makes it difficult to track ranked choices. I may use a Google form, but I’d prefer to not have to require people to visit another site to weigh in on the poll. I’ll make a decision soon and post it here, or in the general forum.
@Mr_A1992 Well, so far we only have 13 contributors to the poll. Based on those 13 votes, we have the following priority (with the most important fix at the top, and the least important at the bottom:
It might be that the board is just dying and there are not a lot of people participating anymore. Or maybe the poll wasn’t as visible as it should have been. @Madchaser , is there a way you would recommend to call attention to this again? I can re-post a link to the thread in the general forum, but should we try anything else? Pinning the poll?
I’d say it (the forum) is just almost dead.
You could try to lure players from social media (discord i.e.), but I wouldn’t bet that it helps that much.
Although it’s quite late already, you should think about sending it to the support as it is, but without telling the number of participants.
A good point. I’ll send tonight. I hope they make good on the tentative plan to archive or preserve the forum in some way. There’s a lot of amazing info on here that never made it to the Wiki . . . .
Did the poll just now…although I dont understand why the new refined material requirements for exp. ammo and augments wouldnt be the top priority under the throwables/deployables.
I’ve become so disenchanted with the game that often I find myself just wandering around collecting wood just because I like to hear it snap off. Either that or I sit back in Hack mode making the machines fight themselves.
@DeadeyeDad , I think that - while a lot of people have “big feels” about the refined materials balancing - it’s not really a bug, just a feature that people disagree with. The focus for this list was things that are actually broken, i.e., not working the way the devs intended.
Well, the list has been submitted to the support team, no response yet. We may not hear anything, but if we do, I’ll post it here. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Btw, anybody know since when the OPV broken? n the fact that machines can now shoot through large fallen machines’ debris like harvester n tanks, but we can’t?
Well, that’s the final nail, I guess. Support got back to me pretty quick, thanked us all for gathering the info. While all of the issues we highlighted had been logged previously, it was nice to have it organized and ranked. But of course there are no plans to make any new fixes.
