Danidas Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 A little know fact of the game is that it phones home to to devs all the time with a ton of useful info. Which they mainly utilize to balance/adjust the game for each alpha instead of mainly going on user input. However since they mainly use this data it can take quite a long time to build up a enough of it for each change to get the full picture of it. Which is why the devs go so long between changing things as they want a big enough data set to comfortably evaluate it. So far in A20 we know that they are re-balancing the loot tables with the data gained from A19 and will hopefully implement the area based game stage bonus system. Which will assign different biomes and maybe POIs with a bonus to your game stage as long as you're in that area. Aka walk into Shotgun Messiah factory day 1 and instead of having a game stage of 1 it will be as if it were 50 and all the loot/zombies will reflect this to make it both harder and more rewarding. This way it will once again be possible to get guns and steel tools day one but your way more likely to die doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
