Weekly stream - summary request

Interesting. Who might guess what’s inside?
Just one thing… Are there different devs for bugfixing than for new paid stuff or are they the same? Priority should be on bugfixing.

Now the speculation:

  • soviet weapon pack 2
  • a pistol
  • a smg
  • a lmg

By that the weapon types of all soviet weapon packs would be the same as from all of the us weapon packs.

I really hope this is the last Weapon pack for a while, rn there is almost the same amount of DLC weapons as base game weapons yet we havent seen a single base game weapon since FNIX Rising in 2020. And the game really needs to have bugs as top priority, unless it is a different set of devs doing weapons like Chaser suggested.

It’s quite apparent we won’t get any weapons that are not dlc related anymore, It obviously brings in money so there is no reason for them to stop. But at least I hope they can go back and improve the quality of the weapon packs so they become more worth it to buy, For example buffing the dmr weapons.

I really hope all this paid dlc is funding an update focused around QoL and bug fixes
I think we need a break from base stuff until they’ve worked out all the kinks around its inclusion and purpose

They said it won’t be a Soviet, American, or Swedish weapon pack. And apparently one of the weapons is a big game changer, or something like that.

Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

:flushed:
Wow, I didn’t expect that. Now I’m excited.
But in my eyes it means, we can expect even more weapon dlcs…

Or fixing bugs… At least for the missing auto-reload if empty for the kotenok.

Or they could rethink the way the dlc-weapons are provided. I once made a suggestion about a much better system… A way that you won’t be able to use all of them right from the first plundra if you start a new game. I’ll look for the post an quote it here to bring it back to mind :wink:

Edit:

Tomorrow’s stream (1600 CET as usual) will feature a sneak peek of the Resistance Weapons Pack with Gameplay Programmers Giulio and Henrik.

It’s nice to read that they are now bringing guests to the livestreams. Thanks, @VladTheInhaler.

So far on the stream:

Pontus has been using all three new weapons

He’s said that the console Base Assault hotfix will be released tomorrow at 10:00 CEST, same as the Resistance Weapon Pack

The Bow has a unique scope (not sure if integral or an attachment) and has standard and explosive arrows, maybe more ammo types as well

The flamethrower uses “Napalm” as ammo, not sure how you find it or how common it is

Won’t be able to catch the rest of the stream, but highlights of what’s been said so far:

Ladders could theoretically be added to the game, there’s nothing in the engine necessarily stopping it.

The bow uses 3 types of arrows - standard arrows, explosive arrows, and flare arrows. The first two are self-explanatory and the flare arrows launch a flare to a much further distance than can be done by hand.

The standard arrows can be recovered from the ground if they don’t break, they’re more likely to break the more you charge the bow. You have to do a “HOLD _ PICK UP” interaction to grab them off the ground.

The flamethrower acts similarly to the Apoc Hunter flamethrower and uses ‘Napalm’ as fuel, which can be crafted using accelerant.

Arrows can be found in backpacks and other ‘world containers’, while napalm can be found in toolboxes.

Sitting, laying down, sleeping, etc. could also theoretically be added, but there are no plans.

Helicopters are never going to be added… :sob::sob::sob:

I just looked into the video on twitch to see something about the new resistance weapons.

Here some screenshots from the stream

It’s just a little bit sad that the screens of the guests were just right in front of the weapons.

Stream Summary:

There are plans to allow players to gain more levels than 31, but with no additional skill points.

Apparently, as of a recent update, Tanks (and maybe other machines?) now have more varied loadouts. This includes more variety of weapons and even different finishes on armor (??). This was mentioned after they found a FNIX Hunter that had the colors of a Prototype or Military Hunter.

The team is aware of the challenge reset bug, but there’s been no news.

No plans currently for more island expansions like Himfjäll.

We won’t be able to build bases anywhere on the map (kind of obvious) but there will be more control points

The Flamethrower is basically useless against FNIX Bases so don’t bring it with you to Base Assaults.

They spent like 5 minutes lost running around a FNIX Base trying to find a generator they missed lol.

We are never going to be able to get Godmode… :pensive:

Unrelated to GZ, but recently the Stockholm office of Avalanche went on a wilderness excursion in honor of the 5th anniversary of theHunter COTW. They learned how to make fires and stuff out in the wild. Just sort of interesting.

Useless against the walls, maybe, but still useful against the machines (especially the ticks of the numerous hunters) inside there. Find or make a small breach and “throw flames” inside. :wink:

Sounds like a lie. Why are they still changing the other isles (in the east, the roads) if they are not having plans for them. :thinking:

Well, whats the sense of it then?

That’s not new any more. At least the loadouts of the tanks changed with Landfall. And I’m very happy about that. I would have to search a bit, but it once was a suggestion of me. :grin:

What I meant was that the Flamethrower was useless against the walls and structures. But you’re right that it’s still useful against machines.

They said there was nothing in motion happening currently with the islands. All the roads and stuff they’ve been putting on the islands might just be in preparation for a much later update.

I guess to just have something to continue to work towards even if you can’t get anymore skills. Sort of like the prestige system in COD, maybe? Perhaps there will be some kind of other rewards for leveling up past 31…

I never noticed the loadout change myself but Landfall came out when I was still learning the game, so that’s probably why.

Machines having armor and colors from different classes is what I was confused by. I remember seeing a thread from a while ago where something like that was reported as a bug. But I guess it was an intentional feature. Just seems like a weird thing to add to the game.

Yes, that’s right.
Idk if it was after landfall or earlier, but it happenend that there were (or are) for example apoc harvesters with legs coloured like from a proto harvester. :man_shrugging:

It’s the often asked question "is it a bug or a feature? ". Previously called bug, now it’s a feature.

I’m not sure how I feel about that. :thinking:

Also, @VladTheInhaler, thanks a lot for your summaries!

No problemo. :+1:

I’m not sure what to think about it either. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Today’s stream summary:

You can kill your friends with the Flamethrower!

They spent the stream playing through the new Marshlands Soviet missions and some Archipelago side missions.

The accidental update that released on Gamepass isn’t the full update and it won’t be out for a while. No date yet.

You know when you’re doing a mission and you want to check out one of the mission items, so you open the log and it takes you to a random mission you completed earlier? This happened to Pontus live when he was doing the Foreign Machines mission and wanted to read the Resistance notes left behind. He opened the log and it took him to the Hogging Supplies mission but he didn’t realise so he ended up just reading a random letter from that mission instead lol.

They’re working on fixing the crossplay problems people have been having - high priority apparently.

The challenge reset bug has been shared with the team - no news or dates but a fix will likely be coming in an upcoming update.

One of the inaccessible islands says “you don’t own this content” if you propel yourself to it. Apparently that’s just a generic out of bounds message and not indicative of any future DLCs.

Sleeping to pass time would be a “pretty far off thing”. They did seem pretty enthusiastic about it though.

Next week’s stream will feature 2 members of the GZ team: Matea (?), an AI programmer, and Tom (?), a gameplay programmer.
