Burning down bases

[Ron]

The original cover art had that little resort on the lake burning.

The newest cover art shows the new city in flames.

The big question is why? Will there be arson and huge fires in scum? If yes, what's stopping us from torching bases?

Screw the grenades and shotgun. Just burn that sucker to the ground...

There has to be a reason why they have huge fires on the cover art (?!?)

Or is it just hype/false advertising?

A log can burn a long time.

Look to the Romans and Caesar at Alesia.

They even built a wall encircling themsleves.

I'm really just curious as to why it shows fire on the cover art.

There must be a reason. Funny that in all this time on the forum, we've had very little discussion on fire in scum

True, but it's an immediate solution.

I think most avoid it.

Many have built extravagant bases and want no counter. So they do not talk about it.

If I was a base builder, I wouldn't want to even think about fire

That said, I might have to bring this subject up again after the update. I think the Devs are to busy to respond atm.

If it showed a nuclear mushroom cloud in the background, it's safe to say there are nukes in the game (or coming to the game)

LOL quite possible too I suppose.

No doubt the most macro injection hacks would afford it too,

You can temper wood to counter fire.

Mud cased wood, possibly other methods,

I am no expert but just mentioning history.

Edit: And it would be very good to bring this up after update. As you stated.

Thank you OG. Yet again no doubt.

This is true. There are plenty of ways to at least slow it down.

I'm mainly concerned that it's just part of the cover art and they have no plans for huge fires (maybe the engine can't even handle huge fires)

Like bases, I could care-a-less about fire. I do care about potential customers buying the game thinking there is fire as depicted on the cover art.

That's called false advertising and is not cool at all. But these Devs are smarter then that. They must want to implement fire in some way other than cooking and lighting

Well, let's see what they say:

I reckon you'd have to be confident and experienced doing this.

You would not want to encircle your own troops with immolatory fire.

Well it must be their business hours aye, OG?

Can we get some feedback or something?

It's okay, I brought it up at a busy time. Maybe after the update I'll ask again.

They should concentrate on the update anyways (I'm really excited about it!)

True but you have a point.

Maybe these sort of things, according reality a bit much, should be considered even with some game mechanics.

In fact,forget what I said before....

You are totally so right!

[8-The-General-8]

Give them a chance to respond.

Mud caked walls for me if I ever build a base.

In fact, let me amend this post with something really amazing I found as a post this afternoon.

EDIT: COMING LOL

Take your time, we're the only ones on here atm anyways 😂

[8-The-General-8]

I doubt it. There are many on AU servers.
