Alpha 21 skill book crafts worst update EVER

[AXGS]

I know devs hate their playerbase but this went too far I hope this get polished when alpha 21 drops out fr fr

I agree with this statement

[thestile]

Maybe a strong contempt... But hate?
Love the update btw

Personally i don`t think it made much difference, example still got enough magazines to make a cement mixer on day 13. The biggest difference personally is having the ability to put more points into what skill tree/s i want and only 1 point into the ones i don`t need for magazines to unlock those items.

Excellent point.

Skill books update was 50% success and 50% failure.

It was great to invest a few skillpoints in grease monkey to unlock vehicles earlier.
But for solo players skill\recipe books are very important, because they dont have enough points to unlock everything in perks.

I think skillbooks should stay, but they should be considered an extra option to unlock recipes, while perks unlock them like before, whitout relying on luck.

Love the new update in every way. A harder game is a better game. Progression in A20 was way too fast. Motorbike by day seven... that's not even close to realistic.

I agree. That all came too easily, too quickly. You barely needed to use the bike. And as for weapons, you could pretty much get an AK or something powerful right away. The pipe weapons barely ever needed to be touched. I think that takes the fun out of early game.

Hey I don't know about you, but when I want to learn by reading, I don't go to the library, or heavens forbid - A BOOK STORE - I just start ransacking my neighbor's mailboxes.

I am very much enjoying the magazines.

it is really making the game have a more enjoyable pace.

but yes they do need to be tweaked a bit for how they drop

that is why this is in alpha rather than saying i just hate it give informative feed back on the official forums.

More challenge is great yeah. But this isnt more challenge, you can have your stuff easely and in cases earlier. This ist just a bad and unbalanced design. Agree with the Op 100%

[BlueBawlz]

i like it, its better than just having to wait untill you found schmatics and being a certian level to use it. feels more smooth on the progression

[Mell Chi]

Hm, i love A21 so much =) its harder, an not so easy

[Arkangel of Mono]

I don't hate the update but I don't have a lot of love for it either. My main grip is that I don't feel it was the best update given the many other needs for attention the game lacks in its current state. Not at all what I had hoped for after a year without anything from TFP team.

Can you supply evidence for this knowledge? Otherwise, Hitchens razor.

When I was a kid, my bmx dirt bike gang of friends and I would scour the hillsides and roadsides, searching through trash for magazines that held otherwise totally unobtainable.. knowledge, which we hoarded away in our secret plywood bases.

So for me this system hits the nail on its hard little head, as far as realism goes.

Otherwise it needs some serious tweaking in order to foster a more satisfactory progression while avoiding incentivising undesirable player choices. Like dumping points into Int perks so you more quickly boost crafting, at the detriment of boosting your primary offensive choice.
