I'd be incredibly surprised. The vibe in the forums is that the hype train is sitting cold and the train crew is at home sleeping. Once we see a dev stream again, the train will start warming up. Once the A20 streaming applications thread goes up, we will probably be a month out. Or they could be keeping it a huge secret and exp will drop Monday. And maybe Elon Musk will show up at my house with a free Cybertruck Plaid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just play one save until I hit end game and have an established base etc, then get tired of raiding the same Shotgun Messiah and Shamway and take a month or two break then come back and start again. The funnest parts to me are honestly when you are leveling up and still have a reason to actually explore and find new items and upgrades and things are still a danger etc What would you even do if you just kept playing one save long after having a horde proof base and having full build and items lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfbain5 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) In a19 coop. as party leader and host, I kept getting a bunch of conditions on first hit, yet the rest of the party rarely got any. also in coop as the server if I was in stealth and that chopped down say a burnt tree or opened a trash can. they could be 300 away and still it was my stealth meter that moved from 19 to 82. even tho I was standing still. The reverse tho is not true. my actions do not affect their stealth. now that I set up a dedi server, these issues no longer exist, it is only in coop steam server that this happened. we tested every tree type and trash can. their actions no longer affect me. and I am also no longer getting 3-4 conditions on a single hit. Has this issue for coop been addressed and corrected in A20? Edited July 25, 2021 by wolfbain5 typos (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What area? A county in Arizona that encorporates mostly Mojave Desert vs one that has Phoenix could result in two very different lengths of games.

It's just that it sounds like the logical next step to the addition of the new pipe weapons... well have you any idea how it could work? ofc stone axe can have better pebble stone axe but rest?

I don't know, but I've been playing several mods where they added the additional "Scrap Tools" tier and honestly seems to work rather well all in all. I'm just saying this because I instinctively associated the "Scrap Metal" tier with the pipe weapons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
