cos_iek Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I have been playing for a long time and personally I liked more bodies searching. Big gold bags dropping from zombies are too simple and look like undeveloped. Searching for loot is more realistic and engaging. What do you think about it?

SylenThunder Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 It was removed for a reason. Primarily client and server performance. It should not make a return. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SylenThunder Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 It's not a simple on/off option. It affects a large number of different systems and balancing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community are trying to help to make future of the game better, you know what I mean. I didn't have problem on previous version with performance. So I think it's possible to make it more lagless.

BFT2020 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 If you want it back, you can always mod it in. I only play SP so I never had a lag issue with the dead bodies (and searching them). However, I really like the new mechanics in play as I don't have to search every zombie body I kill, I know that the ones that drop bags have something to look at. In addition, I been loving the new mechanic they added where you get bonus damage to zombie bodies after you kill them. Makes it easier to deal with now since they go poof as soon as you hit them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game isn't only single player and performance affects different people in different ways depending on their systems and if they are on servers and if they are playing console. They made the change a while ago and aren't going to change it back at this point. Keep in mind that we are in the last few alphas most likely and they are polishing things up for gold. There are not likely to be any changes back to what was in previous versions and few new things beyond the promised bandits and armor/clothing rework. Most of what you will see going forward are going to be optimizations, art, UI/UX, networking, etc. At this point, the best help you can offer for three game are suggestions if things that can be tweaked without actually changing things as those are more likely to be considered. You can, of course, recommend anything but bigger suggestions will likely not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game surly will be changed a lot of times yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they are in the final stages and will be focused on the fine tuning more than adding new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said since a19 that they are nearing completion, and have also stated what is left to finish. Even the Alpha 21 Developer Diary has a section on what changes are left after a21. It's a pretty short list. Alpha development is about trying things, finding out if they work or fit what you want the game to be, and then changing them when they don't. Beta is about final optimization and bug fixes. Core content does not change in this stage. As Riamus stated, we are very near the end of Alpha development. Most core game changes are completed, and it's getting down to adding in the final features and finishing up balancing on the remainder. Once the core content is finished, it's time for Story and Beta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3tro Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Those gold lootbacks were added as a "placeholder", same as quest exclamation marks.. but seems like they are staying as a final thing. I hope that they can visually change to something more realistic but at this point I`m already used to it.. just feels weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronG85 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I believe the gold bag is a placeholder, if they can have a gold bag without it affecting performance i cant see why they cant change the graphic to a generic skeleton or gore block (thats searchable not destroyable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmer Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 they have mods that do this that are super simple to install. I would just download a modlet. While I love the immersion factor looting bodies gives vs a bag appearing that the dead zed could fit into, I completely agree it affects performancs in a negative way especially on a MP server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
