Bucnasti posted:I feel like the quest flow is really messed up, the quests to kill guys with specific weapon should come earlier when you’re still figuring things out and exposure to different play styles would be more useful. The early quests put you on thunderdome with no money making opportunities and the latter quests are essentially loot runs. This is a big reason why newbies bounce off the game or become hatchlings.

Protip: I heard grenade kills count for kill quests as long as you have your main weapon out. Also apparently grenades can explode at a person feet and not kill them... which happened to me today on interchange. I no longer have any idea how grenades work.

HORSEPORN posted:Grapefruit info... I see. For some reason I thought the majority of the damage came from the explosion radius but I guess I was mistaken. Is it true that shrapnel just ignores the existence o of armor completely? I must have just low rolled on the shrapnel roll and barely not killed him cause it literally exploded less than 1m away from him in a small box... I might have to start doubling up on grenade throws to guarantee the finish.

The strength and weight changes sound like a neat idea, but they better fix leveling up strength so cheesing your STR stat doesn't become straight mandatory. Also, one stamina bar does make more sense than 2 seperate bars. You try sprinting 100m then tossing a grenade or holding a gun steady. I sure as gently caress can't.

Ambaire posted:(1) giving traders limited money and Because you have never played the game your opinion is legitimately invalid here because you don't actually know anything about how the market is affected by gameplay mechanics. Those items are expensive because they are super rare... duh. They are all rarer than graphics cards. Giving traders limited money is the dumbest poo poo I ever heard and that is saying alot with this thread. It is dumber than the idiot that thinks lag switching isn't hacking. Really they should just make it so the flea listing thing warns you about listing under vendor price and BOOM problem solved. twig1919 fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Mar 7, 2020 |

There is a much better number go up game... it's called the New York stock exchange. If you enjoy the lovely flea market so much then you can find an even bigger market with an even shittier interface over at Vanguard. After you make your millions day trading you can buyout BSG from Nikita and post dumb suggestions in the thread. I think Nikita changed the level requirement specifically to keep you from making GBS threads up the thread for a while. Maybe permanently because you don't actually play the loving game and have no idea what the gently caress your talking about.

Stux posted:right but the actual reason is to create price floors so a magbox, which is an early game container to deal with limited stash space, doesnt get inflated in price and make it harder for new players to get when its one of the first cases youll be going for. To clarify for people that don't play the game, without price floors nobody would be picking up 85% of the items in the game because the value would get concentrated in the small subset of items the players want. The price-floors allow a consistent money supply to be injected into the game so that new players can actually *gasp* progress. People complaining about "inflation" or "deflation" in a goddamn video game should go play EvE or get a job as a stock trader. The game has plenty of cash sinks with meds, ammo, trader fees, and repairs. What it lacks is sinks on guns and rigs, which really are not a big deal. Ammo is usually 100k+ for a single raid if your running top tier and around 40-50k for mid-tier ammo, so there is plenty of cash-outflow to keep excessive price rises. If you play the game at all you will notice everything getting less valuable over time already. Even big ticket items like GC and FLIRs. I think all these idiots complaining about the "economy" just want everyone else to be unable to make money so that they can feel rich in a video game. twig1919 fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Mar 8, 2020 |

ShowTime posted:The change of just holding stuff you bring in is fine with me and I say this is a habitual secure container pistol runner. It got me my millions. I proposed a change of having a timer on items before they can go into your container. That way there is still a chance that you can kill the person and get the good loot. Right now you just find the item and stop everything to secure it. If you had a 1min-15min wait (dependent on value of item) before it could go in the container, that would prevent hatchlings from snapping up all the good stuff in the first few minutes. It also adds that now you need to bring a little more gear with you, because eventually you'll run out of pockets just waiting on some timers. The real issue is that the majority of quests are just a money drain/noob tax and they cause noobs to get poor trying to complete them. Even worse, is that you need to complete them to get to all to the things that give you ridiculous passive income.

Stux posted:hm dunno why but in my head igolnik had been more expensive than BS my bad for not checking. ur right i shouldnt be down BT and not be so against PS if its for completely new players BT ammo goes for 200 rubles a round and is 20x better than ps ammo. If you have access to the flea just by BT ammo. Otherwise, stick with 7.62 vepers you get from scavs. Honestly, I just run two 60 round mags of BT over BS ammo if I'm going sweaty. Better to spray people down and be liberal with ammo than to be stingy and die. More bullets always wins over less bullets in short/medium range engagements. The exception is sniping, where it makes more sense to shell for expensive ammo since you can usually only get a couple shots off.

ShowTime posted:I pretty much only shoot AK in semi-auto, unless it's stacked. The recoil on AKs is insane. I did manage to pick up a kitted out AK yesterday from a dead body killed by boss scavs that shoots in full auto as if it were semi auto. Now I understand why people use the AK so much. I priced it out at around 300k, but holy poo poo is it good. I kept it to try out one day and saved the preset. Every attachment on it is like 40k but for that kind of power, I guess it's worth it. There is a secret ak74m trade that is this good but only costs ~45k total. You need mechanic level 3 for it though.

RMT is a problem mainly because of the hackers but this won't stop RMT. They will just drop high value vendor items like keys in raid using a SIIC case and RMT will continue without being affected at all. BSG are dumb, but they have 2 brain cells and know this. This change exists purely to stomp on ammo flipping. They will probably be adjusting ammo supplies to compensate and your all being a bunch of babies about it. The end of the world weight changes all turned out fine. I'm more interested in seeing the quests be untucked and skill leveling being reworked.

Ultimatefire posted:If they wanna be like this to lower leveled players, I wish they would have decent ammo on some abhorrent 1 day cooldown of purchase, or something... and then you unlock the normal reset at the normal quest line time. The thing is that BSG wants there to be actual progression in the game. The only progression right now is running interchange a couple times then buying top-teir poo poo from the flea. Additionally, they don't want everyone who hits level 40 to constantly be running the best gear, they want people to have to use variety beyond their own boredom. Right now they can't easily make adjustments because trying to control a free market is like LOL. It's really hard to predict what effect changing a spawn rate or vendor listing will do to the market. By making this change it will make it MUCH easier to balance the items out. They also essentially want to get rid of people who do nothing but play the market to make money. For example, right now I give 0 shits about earning money/loot and I have just been hard-farming quests. Even though I am burning through reap-irs constantly I am making enough from ammo-flipping that my money is staying the same/going up. Its about 5 minutes a day and I make 2-3 million rubles which is more than I could imagine spending without serious poop-socking. Like, I know it seems like they are just listening to redditors/streamers but there are really good reasons to make this change from a game design perspective. They are trying to create RPG stalker, not EVE online FPS version.

The current audio has tons of dead spots. If someone is roughly 35-55 degree away from your face the sound can be up to half as loud or disappear. If you get a friend to run at a wall you can spin around and notice that at some angles/ distance it goes from audible to completely silent. Essentially you need to always keep yourself 90 degrees facing away from whatever you want to hear. You also hear significantly farther when facing forward than you do backward for some reason.

It's so actively unfun to the not braindead people to run into a hatchet runner. At least a pistol runner is a legitimate threat. Meanwhile I run around with the silenced ak that I found in my second raid and my teir 3 armour like a super Chad and it's tons of fun. The game is definitely better when all the powerful top teir weapons are actually rare and not scattered around every raid.

Also all you pro hatchet runner idiots keep arguing about them taking loot, but it's not about that. There are only 3 legitimate threats in this game: players, raiders, and scav bosses. Hatchet runners removed at minimum 1/3 of the threats in the game but on maps like interchange they removed 85% of all danger from the map. It literally cheats everyone else's experience. Also, I can count on one hand the number of hatchet runners I killed under level 40. I have killed hundreds of them and it was always high level players.

The recoil auto corrects unlike every other game, so the natural instinct to pull down just screws you over. The correct way to play every firefight is to hold down the mouse until you run out of ammo or their dead.
