Scum is getting worse, not better

[sarahmalakuk]

i have never played such a broke game ever, constantly needs fixing, everytime i turn my pc on, there is a hotfix needed to play scum. i have uninstalled, installed the game countless times as this game is constantly messing with my pc. servers never work properly, things that work well are always being removed from the game, things are put in that are useless, eg, high heeled shoes????? zombies are now able to do matrix style dodges, sometimes hitting a zombie will not register and pass through it enabling you to be slapped up and injured. zombies are able to casper through walls, antibiotics are rarer than useful scum updates, pharmacys and hospitals dont tend to have any either, the cooking side of things has become over complicated, you have to read books and become a gordan ramsey style chef now or you will starve. 9 times out of 10 you will only get one rag when cutting up a PAIR of socks??????? mathematically hilarious, mechs are virtually indestructible which is unrealistic as nothing is indestructible, you need at least 25 to 30 rockets to disable a mech, who has that many???????? in a world where eating anything to survive no longer exists as mushrooms, insects and worms will now make you ill or even kill you, Hunting animals has now also become a laughing stock, there was nothing wrong with how it was done before but the devs seemed to want to break it, this is where the problem with this game lies, removing things from the game that were great and replacing them with rubbish, we had police jeeps, 4x4s, cool bikes, rafts etc before and they were removed and replaced by 2 cars that you could remove parts off, only problem is, the cars dont have any parts, you have to spend countless hours grinding away looking for a battery, then a car jack, then a wheel, then a alternator etc in order for the vehicle to run. also, why do we now have to pay for fuel in the appocalpse? no one is working at the garage to take the money, if we have to pay for fuel at least make it realistic by putting a employee in the gas stations. please stop adding silly little things in the game as it seems to break it.

SCUM is getting more and more interesting.
Let us quietly watch the SCUM staff at work.

Bad day, bro/sis ? I wish it doesn't last too long and things to get better

[Cangika]

i must agree with some things...but its not that bad haah

Rough times for Scum indeed.

Many times I was so disappointed, stressed out, frustrated, even angry, I thought that's it! I'm done! Once and for all!
Some decisions and changes I fail to understand and hate them to this day.

Yet here I am, sinking hours into the game, having fun with my buddies, despite all bugs and missing stuff and features.

Agree, sometimes it's hard to keep the faith.
It's like a long lasting relationship you try to hold on to at all costs. You love it today, hate it tomorrow but you always return.

Still got high hopes for this game and want to see it succeed.
This raw diamond needs some serious grinding and polishing until it sparkles tho.
Only time will tell if it's capable to do so in the future.

about the sock thing, i'm pretty sure how many rags you get now depends on the dirtiness of your blade (and also the type as scissors give the most). When I cut up stuff with a bloody blade, like a shirt, it seems to drop either one rag now or even just a rag strip. Switch to a clean weapon and boom 3-4 rags. I could be wrong but this has been my experience.

Bug aside, this post show that you miss knowledge and experience of the game.

You forget to say that Linux users are unable to play Multiplayer because devs are not able to upgrade their EAC blob :-)

I'm sensing some hostility here. ;)

Scum is not without faults. I agree that some features need work and there's one or two I wouldn't mind seeing overhauled or removed. The top of my list is the melee weapons passing through the puppets, the overall clunky feel of melee, and that...hunting...thing.

That said, consider that the game is, after all, still in early access. It's definitely not complete or polished. I can't speak to the devs work schedule, but five years seems excessive to me and, sure, I'd like to see quicker progress, but it'll go full release and be polished when it happens. I have to assume we all knew what we were buying into with an early access game.

Getting infuriated won't help anything. Giving non hostile feedback and reporting bugs regularly will. Buying an early access game is an investment in the possibility of years of entertainment. As in any investment, patience is key. If you're really getting that frustrated, take a step back and play something else for a little while. Maybe come back after the next update.

I'm looking forward to seeing Scum's future and hope the devs knock it out of the park. If they don't, well...I've spent money on dumber s't...lol. I'd like to think they're doing their best and I'm sure they know if their best isn't very good, it will affect their future as devs. I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt and hopefully they'll shine.

lets think about this logically, 2 socks means their are already 2 items, you cannot cut 2 socks up and it turn into 1 item

It's not an apocalypse.
In fact, this a Supermax prison TV show in the future run by a corporation to provide entertainment for viewers.

Maybe the game would make more sense if you knew the lore.

And please use paragraphs. That wall of text is not easy on the eyes 👀
