chromed1 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I couldn't care less about watching someone else play the game... I want to play...and figure it out on my own... WTF? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFT2020 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 You will get to play, starting on Monday like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoddius Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I think there are two components to this issue. First off, the streamer weekends are to drum up more business and thus money for TFP to keep doing what they are doing. The second part, which seems lost on the marketing department, is that most people can afford an hour or two to watch on a weekday but not commit to a full gaming session until the weekend. Thus, if they want to give streamer plebs some bonus time it should be during the week, so that people with normal work schedules can spend their limited time on the weekend playing. Until people that have already made purchases are given the respect we have paid for there will always be this disconnect. I have been around since alpha 1 and we don't get any perks, but someone that they feel can get more sales is put on a pedestal for us to worship.

BFT2020 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 They already stated that they are not going to do a mass release right before the weekend. They want to do it on a Monday when everyone is back at work and able to respond quicker. What perks are you expecting purchasing an early access game other than have early access to the game?

Roland Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 As a console player you’re not getting A21 anyway. You can stick to your version and nothing will change for you before, during, or after the streamer weekend anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but when alpah 22 drops supposed us console players will get alpha 21 and yet an alpha behind pc players but however if u have old Gen consoles they aren't making any promises for that upgrade only new gens will get the new game when alpha 22 drops if console players are lucky if that still holds up I heard it might be pushed back so we shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orgthatguy619 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 They said for the console version it will be alpha 21 when alpha 22 drops that's if everything is good to go so it might drop with alpha 22 it might not there is a lot of complications but like I said over and over time will tell and let's see what we get when alpha 22 drops if they drop the console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work a normal 40-x more demanding work schedule as an Emergency Management Director and Supervisor of a 911 center, I am on call 24/7/365, married, along with 3 kids, hobbies, homestead, 5 dogs, etc. I STILL have time to sit down and watch streamers during dinner, before bed, etc. You just WANT a handout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear me the entitlement on display here is impressive. You are frankly not that valuable. The most you can give to the developers is 1 the money you spent on their game 2 the word of mouth you can generate within your comparatively small social circle 3 any feedback you write down in social media / forums. Streamers spend a significant amount of time cultivating a following of people to whom they can influence and market. That means more customers for TFP and more sales. A tangible monetary benefit beyond a single sale of the game or simple word of mouth . You call them plebs out of some misguided and ignorant idea that because they some how manage to make playing video games their job they are some how lesser than you are. But to the TFP you are frankly the pleb for all the value you dont generate and conversely the streamers are the royalty. So get off your high horse. you did not earn it. If you want to get the same perks. then you need to comparatively generate the same amount of value. It really is that simple.

They hope to be able to make it backwards-compatible to the old generation consoles, but no guarantees. It doesn't look likely simply because of how dated that hardware is.

orgthatguy619 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Yes they have confirmed it will be new Gen of everything goes well and it of it does go to their liking it will be released as soon as alpha 22 is released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at least half a year of more waiting before any release (and more than likely some months more), so there isn't much they could say except "stay tuned". If they had said nothing about console at all, a lot of console players would have posted "And what about console?" underneath that message.

meganoth Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) There is one tiny info bit in it which I wasn't sure about lately: The console version will be more than A21 which doesn't have new character system and plant fiber armor and that must mean the version will be Alpha22.

posineg Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 That would be sweet. From the pessimistic view, this just reads that Alpha 22 will get the update and Consoles will have it stock when/if it is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
