New abandon city poi east side

[CrankyOldMan]

So that new city that's going in C0 are you going to chill it a little on the radiation level and exposure to those of us that go there to check it out.
All that hard work and time spent...
Many players I have seen visited only once your Nuke plant poi and then said nah I am done.
Notice I said I have seen, I am not speaking for them I am speaking from my own experience of being an admin on multiple servers and a player on even more servers....
On a side note... Are we getting new puppets with it???

The new city might be okay if it's not as drastic as going to the plant. You can go to lower radiation zones in real life for short periods of time before it gets risky.
Yes, please, new puppets--or something else entirely. For example, mutated people that have been squatting in the city and somehow survived, with some being rounded up and experimented on by TEC (like the spider people depicted by Tomislav on Twitter some time ago IIRC) while others squatting in the buildings, ready to jump out and beat on you with baseball bats and pipe wrenches. I've been playing on and off for years now with only the C4 puppets being added--I think what has been keeping me away is the lack of enemy variety.

If theres radiation and no effective way to decontaminate afterwords i cant wait to never ever visit the new POI.

something like a ingame decontamination POI near both radiated POI's we can use or an improvised decontamination shower we can craft with med engineering

Or maybe even a old timey safety decontamination video playing on a loop in 1 of the buildings, something to give us more of a clue than " soap and water "

throw us a small bone here devs lol

[CrankyOldMan]

A. Yeah lets get a hazmat suit and go check it out???
B. Lets wear an improvised hazmat suit and check it out???
C. Lets wear clothes that we will have to wash to get the rads out or throw away on a 1x loot official server that took us days to get together in the first place, while we are popping potassium Iodide pills like crazy and drinking water like a fish.
Sounds like a lot of fun....
All to find some bobby pins in a school desk and some rags in the gym locker!

On the bright side maybe when they introduce electricity we all can wear all that stuff as we ride on that Ferris wheel.

I am not a fan of the destroying C0 exploration and play ability with that radiation!

Given that Scum is a game show in a futuristic cyberpunk setting there ought to be a medical chamber (like the autodoc in Prometheus) for cumulative radiation removal/DNA repair etc. Otherwise you're only going to the city once, realistically, before getting a C1 cancer injury even after a soap up.

That in my case eventually killed me despite how many bandages i wasted healing the random bleeds the radiation sickness brought on.

And a popular streamer i forget which 1 said " your toon will die no matter what after any visit " so be prepared 4 that

1 visit 1 death

multiple visit 1 for sure death per each visit

is that accurate ?

Cant wait to pay the admission price of a horrible unavoidable death to visit a POI if thats truley the case...... said no1 ever !

I have gone 3 times to the nuke plant but...
1. I have advanced medical and I have no idea if that even matters in any capacity...
2. I have 5 con.
3. I used real life experience from being trained in the service for Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare...

I understand it's a game but some things they are implementing in a somewhat correct direction.
I applaud the effort!

im confused, how is your reply related to my comment ? you didnt say if you died or got sick or decontaminated in a different manner, or if the info ive gotten was true or not

you just talked about you.... im talking about the game not my RL anything

[CrankyOldMan]

Ok...I did not die...
The first time I went I got sick. My current stats are 4.7 5 5 3 and I did go down into the 2's
I popped some potassium pills prior to entering the area.
I left as I started seeing my character get sick.
I drank a lot of water and pushed my stomach a little keeping it above 75% so I would piss out and poop out the rads faster. Popping those pills not knowing how many were needed!
It took a while to come back from the lowered stats and I was not all that happy about that length it took.
My suit was all beat up...we have increased puppet spawn rate and they can be sneaky little devils in that fog.
The second time went better I kinda knew the layout better and what to expect.
The third was kinda now just a repeat of the second and getting same old thing quickly.
----
The first time a player that I went with got too close to the reactor and boom instant death. I was right behind him and was like OH ♥♥♥♥!

I visited the power plant using the drone to check it out, but it's not worth the risk to actually go there for depleted uranium. I assume that once the game is fleshed out you'll have to go there in the process of escaping from the Island (get the MacGuffin from the nuke plant to further the plot). Until then, not for me.

If the city is less irradiated, has some loot, and you can just wash your kit afterwards I'll check it out.

we'll likely check out the new POI slowly with gieger counter in hand, if theres fog covering it we'll probably turn around and leave to never return.

That fog is a 1 trick pony to us. Use it once and fine, keep using it to hide the games engine limitations and its a deal breaker. Others im sure feel differently but thats our POV

and some1 blasting in here this late in the convo trying to force everyone to see his point of view and convince us through 529 relentless replies that our opinions are wrong wont work so please dont try

[CrankyOldMan]

We had maybe since they built that Nuke Plant poi 12 players at the most that have gone there.
That's 12 max out of over 200 players
Only 1 said they kinda enjoyed it.

The radiation level depends on how far or close you are to the source. So the city radiation will also depend on your proximity to the power plant.

well if the source is on the right side of the island how bout we put any future POI's on the left side near the coast ? j/k not kidding :p

We have all that Z that needs to be filled in...but lets get to 1.0 now.
No more poi's that only a few will ever go to.........
Stop wasting development time and money on those!

and POI's that ppl only got to 1 time out of curiosity and never return to based on no loot no puppets or the nightmare of radiation comtaminating everything you own and basically giving you a death sentence

we can all come up with 10 good ideas 4 " fun " challenging POI's worth going to again and again.....

new feedback thread anyone ?
