  1. Stlll crashing like crash test dummies into a brick wall.
  2. I got one on Stalker the other day. Found a fancy leather coat, I think at the cave past the airplane crash sight on that same run, It's kinda heavy but it would be nice to know if its a consistent loot table. New Stalker wolves seem to be less abundant but the range is pretty long, I've had them chase me without scent or vision as if the can see through mountains. I think I like it though. No ambush spawns yet. Loot's still excessive but I can turn that down next time.
  3. Can I get a disclaimer for Long Dark Addiction and emotional traumas may persist long after the glimmer of the screen had faded, "into the long dark"
  4. I seem to have lost a bunch of baked potatoes I put in a container, Overnight!. May be a bug but I'm looking for more potatoes to test
  5. I have a general opinion about the new sound, that it is over-compressed and that the release is too long. It may also be a slope issue. Mismatches between attack and release often create this kind of artifact. This is a major way that affects the ambiance, feel and depth of a game as well as the transition between different sounds. Punchy yes, Natural dying world sounds, not so much. The long dark is not an in-your-face shooter. Things a half mile away should not sound like they are 5 yards away unless you are in a valley. The high compression does instill fear, properly done that could be good. Its not what the game is all about though. High compression is also fatiguing taking away from the replayability that we so love.
  6. Ahh, very nice. And to my global warming naysayers, Until we get off the Island there's no way to know that the Arctic doesn't have palm trees and land crawling Octopuses and that Pleasant Valley isn't the North Poll. Dang I almost died last night 44 below, -37 Windchill maybe lower, 49 degrees of protection, bearskin bedroll fire and tea and still almost dead.
  7. 2 years later and this is still a thing.
  8. I like your recommendation for the Kermode bears but they look small and getting 2 would be difficult for a paid option. I do think thy would be more fashionable though. But as for tree lines, global warming is getting worse, the Auroras seem suspect, perhaps the world has been knocked off its axis, the artic cap has turned into a thousand chunks of floating ice with polar bear families. Which brings me I guess to seals washing up on Coastal Highways shores.
  9. I found myself with a plethora of Bear Skins So I crafted my first bearskin coat. I'd looked at stats and always eschewed it mostly for the weight. I did take a hard toll on my hunting knife as well. But on first wearing, a hiding wolf bolted in an opposite direction. The first time seems to work with the Wolf coat too, but he promptly came back and tore my new coat and rabbit fur hat up. At least I know. Its damn cold here in Stalker and getting colder with even colder places left to explore but I looked in the mirror and I just don't like the style. I think I want a Polar Bear coat. At these temperatures I'm sure they could float to the Island via miniature icebergs.. Since they are bigger, would I need two to craft a coat. I really don't want to have to use the spear btw but I think I'd pay 5 or 10 dollars for Polar bears in game, especially the colder regions.
  10. With regard to paid upgrades. Every time I look AT THE HOURS i SPEND ON THIS GAME IT AMAZES ME. Many sites would give their eyeteeth to have a customers attention for this long. I have an idea that may monetize this in a fashion that will not kill the game like so many ad based monetization schemes. I propose that you have to search the long dark for the CHANCE to get a paid upgrade. Something that is actually hard to find like our caches but in addition to a couple bullets etc., you get a link. Now that link leads to an item, or mod or even a real life Long dark memorabilia like a coffee cup or an axe, or game wise, I like our achievement badger mechanic to deliver upgrades also. I think I would put a constraint on the store that this link goes to one item only and NOT the whole store. Without the constraint it turns into a pay to play money grab. In Minecraft a Server I went to allowed you to buy rank or special tools. For a hundred bucks I could fly! All the stuff I bought was persistent. Ranks also got me improved odds on randomized happenings. Along the lines of ranks, their may be a few grades of tools, knives guns etc. and any rank could improve your odds of rolling a link to a higher quality tool or mod. I'd like to re-toss out the achievement badge mechanic because you already have it, Ranks could allow you to select more than three and I suppose an extension of that mechanic could allow you to equip yourself with at the beginning of each game. I think this could breath fresh life into the play by giving us an excuse to rework mastered regions and search for new things. Pricing wise, very cheap entry level broadens the player engagement but I found that 3, 5, or 10 bucks was a lot of fun, once I became convinced that it wasn't an unfair scalping scheme like some pay to play games, eventually I worked up to big tickets. Establishing trust was an important part of higher ticket items. You guys have earned mine but not everyone else's. Perhaps mark the map when links discovered so people can go back when they can afford to? Not so sure about this except for high ticket items.
  11. Thanks for your hard work. I spent about a month trying to replicate but missed the part about spending some time in bag before going out and reiterating everything I could remember time and time again. A few weeks ago I just gave up with that save file and decided it was time to move on but it kind took the steam out of that game too many times. To many saves started feeling like a cheat and with this bug caught myself doing it all the time which took some excitement out of the game for sure.
  12. Ahhh, this is the clue that tells us what really happened. The Earth was" knocked of it's axis" and the issue between the Muskeg and Mystery Lake is that the muskeg is now a pole. Probably still what we would call the Northern pole but so far of Solar orbit North that it is not the coldest. I guess the pole is actually inside the tunnel.
  13. 66 percent damage today. In a fishing hut, on the floor unrolled not carrying. Wolf comes inside does about 30 percent damage to me and another 66 percent to a new bedroll, Damn that took a long time to repair the last one that was totaled, a week or so of casual play. No reply from support either, not a peep. Time for a break again. smh.
  14. Don't pitch your tent in a ditch. I have an excellent Expedition tent. Set it up late without regard to the site itself other than not sleeping on rocks. Overnight it stormed and I awoke in about 5 inches of water. Tent didn't leak but getting out of it was more disastrous than sleeping in it What a mess for days. As mentioned, get up off the ground as far as you can. If your dad gets a big tent you can actually uses cots though I never have. An air mattress minimum. I've slept on all the pine bows and homemade beds, Often its fine, often you wake up so sore it ruins the trip especially if you get cold wet AND sore. A nights rest should restore you not deplete you. Well rested and the rest of the challenges can be fun and exciting. A bad nights rest and its miserable drudgery. Do look as obstacles as challenges. Overcome they become the best memories, surrendered to they become the worst. Attitude can be as disastrous as a hurricane. Fires are fun, coffee is almost a spiritual ritual for me, I'm not into marshmallows but a lot of families/ swear by smores over the fire and helps any girls have some fun. Cooking on a fire is difficult to master but smores are instant success. I like stuff where I just boil water and stir. Bugs spray Benadryl, aspirin and a poison ivy remedy of your choice just incase. I got it on my private parts while camping which brings me to toilet tissue and some wetwipes, luxury I know but toilet paper in outhouses' is notoriously smooth and shiny and better for spreading grease than cleaning up.
  15. No, Only the bearskin bedroll gets one-shoted/critical hit. In fact I hardly remember any stuff that I am not wearing getting damaged. I do remember some early game stuff when I was nearly naked, usually cotton mittens and that is very rare compared to what I'm experiencing with bedroll this month. I had taken a few months off so when I say last month I'm not saying last update, I'm saying 3 or 4 losses in my last 30 days of gameplay. Oddly this year I skipped my usual winter play and returned now in the summer. I always make a bearskin roll ASAP, It's usually the first think I make. I like that wolfskin coat and moose satchel but those are all wearing normally. In fact my Moose satchel has topped at 76 percent for weeks. On wolf attacks the majority of my damage goes to boots, gloves and hats. I use the hatchet. I run unmodified stalker. Unlike others I get blizzard of 40f below with -30 wind chills after about 160-70 days. The last couple weeks I've had blizzard hit 3 days out of 4. Shooting a moose or bear or even a deer often triggers one so if I need food, I have to plan on a blizzard by the time my meat harvest is done. Today I went out to die or get a bearskin for repair. I left at the end of a blizzard with temps -27.& -17f, I found a bear, I got four arrows in him, been mauled twice, he's still walking and another blizzard is blowing in. Looking bleak but I'll check for clothing damage when I log in again to fade away. I suspect no hats shoes and gloves after two bear mauling's. I bet what is in my pack is fine but its not clothes.
