A-Life scam

[Isshin]

We were promised an improved A-LIFE to make the zone live even cooler, but in reality we got spawn enemies right in front of our face or behind our back.

This is the most frustrating thing at the moment, there is no life in the zone at all.

I don't see how quoting developers who are known, demonstrable liars is supposed to put a stop to this discussion. They made promises, lied, altered the store page to cover their lies, and now they're still lying about A-Life. There is no A-life. I'm happy to be wrong if you can come up with something other than a quote from a known liar. Like, I don't know, footage? An explanation of how it's 'supposed' to work, from them? ANYTHING AT ALL?

Your a scam

Yeah, not gonna lie but this is disappointing, it's one of the core STALKER games mechanics just not implemented, with some questionable moves done by the studio, it's not something you can just implement in patch fix, but let me be wrong...

i think they CAN implement it, but it will take time, a long long time. So we can just sit and wait, or hope some modders will make a miracle, but if the base system sucks, even the mods wont go too far... So let's hope they will do what they have to, and at least give us an illusion of A-Life...

copium is insane, so you guys really think that after 4 years of development, random spawns next to you suddenly is a bug? Or absent A-life is a bug?

They scammed all of us and all the fanbois suck it up.

I don't know how they do it but they better prioritize bringing this thing quickly. Which im just thinking they won't because it's literally not possible to implement it now.
As of now it's some basic shallow implemented spawn system that just send NPC when you aren't watching, when i played it yesterday it felt like Far Cry when i was attacked by NPCs behind my back, when carefully scanning the area earlier, then when i die in the shootout and reload the save that was done few seconds before the attack they didn't spawn.

They should really put in much more effort into this, even on behalf of other stuff because this is like a main thing the game should be advertised, the gaming is just regressing.

Thanks for that link. It's amazing they can't be upfront with this before release, and get the back lash. We did lash away, but what did they expect. Time to redeem themselves and make it great.

I could have predicted this also. Using UE. A notorious game engine that looks beautiful, but only in small areas, because everything else seems to pop in at short distances. So many open world games that use it and they all have the same issue. Take SCUM for example, so bad was the AI they had to just throw their AI idea out the window and use RNG and triggers to spawn the puppets in. It's a joke, because they have loot items.. Scopes and Binoculars... that are for what???? You can't see an NPC in the distance. The draw distance being so limited, making those items completely useless.

Moral of the story:

Never
Pre-order
Games

Every time people say this, people get mad but it has 100% success rate. Funny how that works.

Is it just me, or did they remove A-LIFE from the description in the game store? This is mind blowing
