Content update

[Darckghost]

It's been more than 2 weeks since the game's release: all the content is closed, millions of rubles have been earned, even Kiba has already died 15 times and there's nothing more to do here now. How long do we have to wait for updates that make sense?
I understand that the game is still in early access and not all things are done yet, but I would like to see something like endless missions for loot or kill or etc, idk

The biggest and effortless thing dev can do to extend replayability is make you lose all your gear upon death (and make you starved) as you are found alive after getting looted.

This becomes a huge resource sink to counter end game inflation, makes the gameplay more intense and exciting, and people have an incentive now too to stock up on extra equipment instead of just hording millions of cash.

I mean isn't that what the Hardcore Mode is for?
/Edit: And if yes (potentially) then why should newbies/casuals/chilled players hate the suggestion. Because Hardcore is Optional and they aren't forced to it.

Hardcore Mode is when your base/quests/stash/skills...etc. also gets reset. It's pretty much starting a new game.
This you just lose whatever gear your brought with you to the mission.

For the price we definitely got our money's-worth. I put in 30 hours and am in your position. I suggest coming back in a year, that's what I'm going to do.

Not like we got a choice anyways lol.

Not trying to dismissing you, but is that confirmed or your Assumption? Because some posts here in this forum suggest that we don't know how the Hardcore Mode will look like.

[VECT]

That's just my assumption of course, a reasonable one I'd say given how hardcore mode and perma death usually are in games.

If the dev decides to make a "special" hardcore for this game that's different from the usual then that's that.

This tends to be a rule of thumb with early access sandbox games such as this one.

In the end, the game currently has a lot more than one would expect from a game in early access. Many of y'all played it for dozens of hours and now, not even a month since the game's been available, you want another dozens of hours worth of content.

Patience is key with EA. You either wait or you move on to something else until there's an update. I just hope this doesn't turn into one of those *many* cases where people ask for post-launch content and claim the game's "dead" after 1.0 because how dare games don't last forever.

To be honest, I think this was the "high" of the game. I don´t think that a single developer can hold up to all the promisses and things to add. The only Dev I´ve ever met who have done this was the dev from stardew valley. I mean I would love the dev to implement and add a lot of new things but as of looking at valheim, we waitet 1 1/2 years with just one new biome and "some" new things which are really boring. I think this game will die pretty soon without mod support or new updates. Even tough, as already said, I had my fair cup of share with over 30 hours.

I definitely prefer the current 'softcore' implementation over forcing lose-all-gear-upon-death on everyone. That should be reserved for a special mode for players who seek the extra challenge in my opinion. Why not add this and perma-death mode as two separate hardcore choices?

Terraria, minecraft, project zomboid, all exceeded that imo. PZ still in EA too.

Probably many others I'm forgetting or haven't played.

Also, player made mods are usually pretty jank unless the game has a masssssssssssssssive following, like the big bethesda games. Even "good" mods are usually goof balls. And the stuff ppl complain about dev-created content, like bugs, is magnified 100x in player made content, but always gets a pass.

The option of modding is always a good to have though imo.

Seeing how the game is 0.26 and it containing 30 hour's-worth of gameplay, I can foresee that we will most certainly not be disappointed. If any EA game deserves our patience, it is Zero Sievert. As for those without patience, whatever it's their loss. At least they helped to support a game that actually deserves it IMO.

There is a button right now that says Hardcore. Relax with the forced.

[King Trasher]

first time playing an early access?
sometimes it takes years for a game to fully develop, especially when its a studio's first title.
you better get used to waiting and replaying, or get good at coding and make mods.

[Tradesman]

One reason I'm glad I started with a bare minimum char.

Kind of weird this is the mentality with modern games.
I just recently bought this game because it says it's at "0.2" state which is really far from finished and I wanted to support it because of the concept.
I wont refund and ill keep my hopes up but i'll definitely feel bummed out if the whole "0.2" was just an arbitary number and we are pretty close to finished here.

This isn't a "modern games" mentality. This is a sensible "literally any product anywhere, ever" mentality.

If anyone can buy it, it isn't "early access", it's just access.

If anyone can buy it, it isn't "Beta", or "0.whatever". It's gone gold. It's 1.0 and counting.

I understand that a lot of people have developed the delusion that a product they can buy somehow isn't at the "let people buy it" stage of product development, because it's become super trendy to lie to consumers about your development stage, but it is.

Either it's worth your money or it isn't. Buying something because "maybe it'll be better later" is ridiculous.

[Stiglitz]

would be cool if the loads were a little faster I cannot lie but I am also very excited for new content, game surprised me with how fun it can be, sometimes i do have to set it down for a while
