Did you remove all the unique features this game had?

[Swagmaster Love 🇪🇺]

Feels like so much has been removed from the game instead of being fleshed out.
I saw a bunch of posts several years ago promising things would return, but nothing did.

I was quite surprised, that I returned to an early access game, which went backwards in development on so many ends.

What happened here?

[marktkm]

Loot has been nerfed to bring things more in line with the survival feel, and vehicles are currently being reworked (though that wasn't a few years ago). Can you be more specific? What things are you waiting to return?

[Deathwhisper]

Hello :),

Just as marktkm said, can you explain a bit more what you are missing and what you think was removed ? Sadly your contribution does not reveal much. :)

Now game get new life, new features and great optimization with fantastic visual surroundings make it game masterpiece!

I can't speak to what Scum was like or what content it had in the past. A friend and I decided to give it a shot just last night since it's on sale. We're in need of something fresh.

Near as I can tell, presently Scum's a "no items found", running/looting simulator with clunky mechanics and a need for effort/payoff balance. That's just my first impression after a few hours and I have a bit to learn. I'm not ready to write a review and wouldn't till full release anyway.

That's expected in EA, but it seems behind in development. I thought it would be more polished after five years. It sure seemed like it in videos I watched, but playing it is a different matter. Might have been old videos with content or features OP is alluding to...I don't know. Even so, it's still kinda fun to tinker with.

We rolled the dice on this developer...we'll see what they do with it I guess.

I'm really not sure what this post is even about. There are very clearly more features now than there have ever been and the depth of those features is greater than its ever been as well.

You need to be willing to put in a lot of hours. It supposed to be a real grind in your first few (in game) days. watch some tutorials that are dated recently and talk about version 0.85 if your interested in the game.

The other option if you don't like the initial challenge of fighting with sticks and stones and constantly starving, is to join one of the servers that has loot x 10 setting and gives you a welcome package via discord bot. Most servers once you join them, will give you a discord invite in the chat or message of the day.

That way you can get a feel for the game. If its a populated server tho, you may end up being killed quite quickly. The Events tab is where you can practice TDM etc if some players join an event you start.

Since when does "several" mean "seven"?
Please read before make these responses.

I bought this game because of the series of videos demonstrating some innovative features for skills and attributes. I really liked the Endurance and running mechanics, they seem to have vanished as now there is no body mass mechanics. The stealth and camouflage mechanics really got my interested, no longer a thing as far as I can tell. Then there is the inability to see things in third person view that your character was unable to see, seems we can look right at a wall and see enemies with no issue. Maybe I am wrong but those were some things that enticed me make the purchase and now I don't see any of it.

Body mass certainly does need to to be adapted better.

However, Stealth and camo both function normally and 3rd person peaking has been in the game since day one as it relates to players.

Im not sure what they want with this game any more. Its diffently not a player base. They remove the fun stuff. Make other stuff worse. Plus they refuse to let people host servers because of server hosting kickbacks while claiming the real reason is Security when any hacker can just pay for a server then have access to all them files they are "Protecting" by not letting us host. They really are the most anti Community Dev's in the survival game tag.

No, they can't. You don't get FTP access to the files when renting a server.

Several means 'many or more than one', it has in no way any relation to the number 7 unless stated. 'Several people stood in the street', does not mean they were seven people.

Can you please elaborate further because this post in this form right now is quite misleading and would have to remove it. Since the EA release like you said we have released over 190+ updates adding new content and features.

AHH so its not that features were removed which were there but rather features you expected that haven't been implemented, that's very different.
