Game Balance

[Cpt.Rati]

Hello
The balance of the game is not very good now. I will collect the information from players for a few days, then it takes about 3-4 days to update the new Balance.

You can comment about system of games or other balance suggestions here. Thank you so much.

1. Reduce the need of water and food;
2. when i run the stamina low to fast!

-The need of water and food are very unbalance right now. I want to explore the beautyfull world, but is very annoying because i need to eat amd drink water everytime.

3. Get water more easy, i have a water bottle, but i cant get water in the river with the bottle. Add the change to get water with a bottle.

4. The crafting system is great, i like the way it is, but i cant build to much because i need to eat, and drink often, is very hard right now.

5. When i die i cant get back my equip, so it will more cool if we can get back to our dead body and get our things back.

10. When we create a campfire we need fuel, this is not necesary, we can turn on a campfire with sticks and fire, the fuel is not necesary and it will be more easy for us.

6. Generator need too much fuel, fat don't give enough of biofuel.

7. There is not enough fuel in the cars, 25 cars to get 16 L gas can then really fast to spend them. Make the gas station pump working. We should be able to fill up the car tank with the biofuel too.

8. Need a loot respawn, the loot (and fuel) don't respawn.

9. Stamina drain too much when using a melee weapon.

10. When you are sleeping, it is draining too much water/food.

11. Put stack for the food, increase the stack of the other item (like metal)

12. Increase loot of the bandit, they have almost nothing on them when we kill them.

Pros so far:
- Game has tons of potential, I die constantly and am still loving it! (Also, I do understand this game is brand new and a work in progress)
- Crafting and wound dynamics are great.

Cons so far:
- Food and water need is almost impossible to keep up with. Due to loot being few and far between, I am nearly starved/dehydrated by the time I find a place to loot and use all of what I find to survive the trip back to camp. (given I dont have to fight maniacs/npc's).

-Stamina goes way too fast as well it seems, only have small windows to work between "mist events" and again have to combat food/water/scavange runs in between base building. Seems being nomadic is almost the better option except weapons/rescources are few and far between. (when base/camp building).

- A way to repair weapons, such as saw and ax, would be nice as well (if there is not already, If there is correct me, there is no guide yet).


***To all
This is not at all intended as a "mash" on the game, just my "2 cents" so far given that I havent really lived long enough to experience its full potential so far. I love the game and looking forward to the future of it!!

Maybe a "peaceful" game mode as well for single player, (would get boring fast), but would help with learning game dynamics starting out, and help with learning the crafting aspect....just a thought

13. Need something to repair car part (motor, battery) because 10-20 % is too low.

[Kali Sato]

- loot respawn
- water is easy , but food is hardest
- need more animals like fish, plant farming
- battery durability is too low, if an alternator or a transformer can be added for reload

[Drodion]

would love to host a multi player. this game rocks so far so hoping this kicks off well and it looks and runs so smooth

[Salvion]

I endorse EVERYTHING Omega Has listed so far Especially 13 i drove my car 10 mins up the road to find out the battery died and i spent the next hour trying to find a new one. the game is pretty good as a whole but its really unbalanced if you improve all of omegas points that he has listed taht would be great

[Salvion]

Also these be great too

Don't go too crazy on the asjustments to stamina and water. Might not be popular but you need to drink to survive a day and that makes sense. You shouldn't be able to run like a marathon either. I like some of the other points though about fuel etc. So far loving what we have to work with so far.

14. if i build any object (e.g blacksmith) so food/water consumation is extremly fast. Same with the bear harvest, it takes all day to harvest the animal...

15. Generator need too much fuel, fat don't give enough of biofuel.

16. Blueberry - get too small amount of food/water

17. Big animal meat / brocoli, carots - decay is too fast

18. Add stack for the food please, it takes too many slots.

[johnknightt]

all stats go down way to fast, can't even walk around to scout the world, without the need of water/food
every 5 min, not to mention fatigue i can walk more in RL without getting tyred then in this game

make blueberry's stack, picking up 10 of those means 10 slots now, same for cola/fruit/meat
it take up way to much slots

i killed not many hostile, but they only drop crap, hell they run around with full gear/weapons and only drop some cooking stuff, if i kill some 1 in RL i can have his clothes/weapons ect( the only gun i found so far is the pistol any way)

also there are always to many of them in 1 spot/camp, same for ghouls, kill 1 and then boom 5-6 pop out and boom dead

the world is pretty big, so a map to see where you are, and of where to go would make things way easyer, and make the map show the places that you have visit, like houses) not only that but i always have a hard time to get back home and or to find it

when wounded and using bandage(auto heal) you don't gain healt, it would be nice if you treath you wounds proper you healt go back up again

i understand its EA(and it seems you are alone) but balance is way of the chart
if most thing where in good balance this game could be pretty good

keep up the spirit and make this a great game

Food and Water, i know this isn't popular... but can we have a survival game that doesn't make you eat 9 times a day? I suppose you could balance it out by say making melee attacks weaker and stamna lower if you don't eat 3 times a day.

but it's just annoying across all survival games, heck i eat less on a regular basis and i tend to think i am fairly in shape.
