SeregaMP Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Hi, I have a question for the developers. Will the visual effect of "healing" the drone change in Alpha 20? It seems to me that many people do not like what is now. Who agrees support this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why someone would have an issue with it, but everyone is different. I think the only thing I would like to change the color of the icon for the healing wait period like they mentioned in the stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see that change to an NPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see that change to an NPC Or a very obvious and extremely readable prop, like a written note in a container or a drawed text on a pole, tree, fence, stand, bin, etc that can't be destroyed/respawns until player reads it. Much much cheaper that way and the edge cases are already in (satchel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe change the exclamation point to a corpse or a note on the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Sure…a corpse or a note. My point is that the healing effect is a lot less noticeable. While playing you rarely even see it because it heals you automatically from behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would prevent people double dipping the POI, but does come with some challenges.

How does the trader know the other person died and so giving you the quest? Unless the trader hasn't heard from that person in a while maybe and asks you to go check???

Or trader expect that guy will came 2-3 days ago and he is missing. So if he is missing he is dead because trader doesn't belive that he run away (explanation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganoth Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 My guess is that one reason they went for that exclamation mark was its visibility. In that case I would deem a waving flag on a pole having a better chance at getting implemented than a slightly more immersive corpse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While playing you rarely even see it because it heals you automatically from behind you. They could add a stream of big yellow exclamation points coming out of the drone and healing you in a shower of hp. I think that would be more realistic. It wouldn't hinder the Zd's ability to kill you at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orville Tootenbacher Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Any word of more haze/atmosphere being added? Besides the better ambience of a foggy night in the forest, during the day objects look too sharp and clear. Even when at a distance. I think it would add to the realism if there was more of a haze in the air even on sunny days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over time two can be if they both learn a system well, but that rarely happens, since there is plenty of work to spread around. New programmers can be a time drain, since they often have to ask other programmers how stuff works and sometimes you could of just spent that time fixing it yourself. Then you get new bugs while fixing bugs, which just happened recently when a consultant tried to fix a bug where they don't understand all the game features, then I spend time looking at their bugs and trying to help, blah, blah, blah. 100% makes sense.

If the trader has thousands of quests to offer and all of the people who previously attempted them are all dead (coincidentally?), we, the players, should all be concerned.
