It seems that birds are able to send you flying and have far to many ways to cause a lot of damage early on. Weapon changes now seem well seeing as I have spent more time then ever dieing I would say the weapons are now to weak to handle a level 1 planet. I couldn't tell you if the armor has been fixed to reduce damage at this point but before this last patch it was hardly a help. Shields well before this last patch they did nothing I couldn't block any attacks or they reduced one damage... I had no issues with the old way of things but the new balance system and weapons are at this stage not cutting it and making playing the game more of a chore then it should be. I am not saying a game should be easy all the time I am only saying that in a starting world you shouldn't die 4 times in under a minute it just tends to put one off. Any chance we could see a return to the 100 level system? I don't know about others but for me it felt more balanced and wasn't that hard to figure out. Maybe all it needed was a handbook in the ship that explained how armor and weapons worked?
Any chance of customizable keys soon? I realize that doing them via in game interface would be more work. But you already have a system to parse .ini files for in game variables, such as volume level, rseolution, etc. It should be very little work to add a section for hotkeys and let us modify them in the .ini file. I am a programmer so I know that you can do this easily. You have the groundwork in place already to have these as variables in the .ini file. Please, this is really bothersome for many of us. Autohotkey is a less than ideal solution. I personally get missed keys and stuck keys, quite often. I'm not sure if there is some trick to "tune" autohotkey to work better. But as it stands, it's less than ideal. Far less. It sucks to die because you get a stuck key or a menu pops up that shouldn't, because autohotkey burped and let one through unchanged. Also, please look into the issue with the game resetting/turning off mics for some of us with USB headsets. I actually wanted to record a video for this game this week, but currently cannot. The game just kills my mic input completely. Often when I travel to ship and back, or during sort of "lag spikes" where the game is doing massive disk activity. Or music transitions. Many of us are now reporting this issue. It's not our systems. I've been using the headset for over a year and made hundreds of videos and tons of streams without this ever happening.
apparently... doesnt make any sense. also birds need to be nerfed and theres a problem with merchants appearing naked with nothing to sell. i wish i could revert to just before this patch..
apparently you need a creature capture cage witch you then need to craft something from that in order to tame a pet
Hi devs, Wanted to confirm that this is true for me too. My 6667 DPS 2-h hammer is down to a respectable 27 DPS now. Thanks for all your hard work, game is looking great!
Calm your horses. Things are going to be broken, they're working to fix it. They said this would happen and you guys need to learn to be patient.
Well crap I guess I should throw out that sword I crafted. I could have really used that iron for something else Oh well, I'll find more
Oh yes, a way to remap keys would be absolutely fantastic, I've already made a forum thread about it but I may as well mention it again. As a leftie it's very awkward to play this game with the current controls. If it's too hard to make keys re-mappable can you at least make an alternate control scheme using the arrow keys? Allowing lefties like me to use the mouse on the left of the keyboard and my right hand more comfortable on the number keys rather than awkwardly held across my body trying to hit space with my pinkie every time I need to jump? That too would be awesome.
I don't seem to be having the problem with ground monsters everyone else is, I just started a new human and they seem pretty weak. I found a nifty spear with 5 damage per hit and it take 5-6 hits to kill them, while they seem to do only 3-8 damage to me per hit. I haven't encountered a birds yet though, so I can't attest to that. There is, as I think Tiy said, a vast overpopulation of ore. I picked up 58 pieces of iron from the surface, before I crafted my forge. The iron crafted weapons do seem weak though, they are pretty much sidegrades to the starter weapon. The hunting knife is the best iron weapon at the moment, which seems strange to me. Edit: I found some birds today. They wreck face. They do almost six times as much damage per hit as comparable ground enemies. Also, coal is unreasonably rare. I don't know if i'll be able to get enough to get off the planet AND make torches for underground exploration.
im not losing my shit over it, though they should have seriously done their own testing of this before releasing it. caused more problems than it solved.
What I don't understand is why someone who wasn't a developer was able to change one file and make the game work, and all Tiy and the other developers only seem to do is just make things worse. They couldn't have just imported that file? I've been nothing short of understanding, but this is beginning to become, quite frankly, just plain sad.
im guessing theyll rush out another patch tomorrow. oh well, i was having fun today with the previous update then this crap came along.
The iron ore seems to be a bit too rare... is this just me or am I an impatient gamer? also, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this... if not, then sorry.
The armor issue is one that I feel is just a major sticking point. I'm trying to have fun playing a sandbox game, not a bullet hell shooter. One wrong move and I get hit and... *tadpole again*
