    They NEED to focus on the right things.. PvP players that wanna play a survival game are not happy

      @reconc4t  9 месяцев назад +2

      I agree my friend. I misspoke a bit I said they are just trying to make it pubg with food. Of course it isn't quite that bad, but it's heading in that direction at warp speed and I have yet to speak to single dev who thinks it's an issue.

    • @Oni1975
      @Oni1975 9 месяцев назад +1

      That of course begs the question though, what ARE the right things? What do the developers want SCUM to be? PvE players aren't happy either. So what audience is being served? I hate to sound like I'm bagging on the devs, but these are important questions to answer because I think SCUM has a lot of potential and I really want it to succeed. Games without a tight vision are prone to fail. And while a tight vision doesn't guarantee it's a game I'll enjoy playing, I will at least know if it's something I'm willing to invest time in going forward.

      This is such a good point. People usually consider themselves pvp or pve. I would like both. I want to fight under really rough pve conditions. Not one or the other.

      Why do people still play PvP on this game. That was ruined when they brought this new lockpicking system
      In, then with the constant changes to the explosives, how glitchy the game has become and the atrocious rendering distance it PvE all the way lol

    I am strictly a PvE player and I am not touching this shit until it is 100% fixed. Old spawn system was fine, just leave option to toggle puppets ability to break doors and climb through windows.
    On top of the horrible new spawn system, and this is perhaps even worse, was the removal of the option to modify puppet spawns (interior/exterior/wilderness) AND the amount for each of those options.
    It used to be so badass cranking exterior spawns and just cresting a hill to see tons of puppets roaming the streets of a town or city then sniping them before I roll up to loot. Subbed btw

    • @reconc4t

      Thanks I feel exactly the same about this. It's was the best way to do "zombies" and one of the very best parts of the game.

    I hate to say it, but part of the current issues might not all be down to Tomislov. Yes, there were problems before the game was bought by Jagex, but this MTX path is what killed their MMO Runescape 3. They didn't listen to our community when we didn't want the EOC update that turned combat basically into WoW, then they didn't listen when we didn't want MTX. Then they just kept adding MTX. Old School does a lot better, but it's never been their "cash cow" project. Unfortunately, I think with player base of RS3 basically being dead Scum is being used in part to make up for lost MTX.

    i already gave them the suggestion to allow us to use focus mode towards a direction and allow this to load puppets in great distances instead of all directions... like i know my suggestion is not entirely fixing the problem but i didn't expect them to use it as their toilet paper...
    i was also expecting some more quality of life updates like the medical system to stop treating every injury as bleeding injury... and maybe give some actual use for players socks in their feet because currently i am not even sure why we even need an underwear or socks if i am being honest
    for puppets i believe the best possible system would been to return to load puppets around player in distance to 150 meters or 200 meters except the puppets inside buildings (these should only load when a player gets close to that building) and also allow focus mode for every 1 min focus mode towards a direction load 100 meters extra.. so 300 meters for 1 min .. 400 meters for 2 min... 500 meters for 3 min and so on .. maybe max 700 meters [maybe allow the awareness skill to play a part in that] (i gues this idea will be used as their toilet paper as well)

    I don’t buy any of the DLC because they still haven’t provided the game they promised. I’m a lone wolf player with no interest in pvp and single player hasn’t been worth it to me for at least a couple of years. All I do is watch update videos hoping it will change.

  • @Travis_B_Chillin
    @Travis_B_Chillin 9 месяцев назад +2

    I've disabled sentries and beepers completely for the time being. I've got zero tolerance for piss poor functionality after spending money on the game, the dlc's, and a quarterly server payment. I actually stopped playing all together for a couple months, and then returned to find the puppets somehow even more broken. I zero'd out every "horde" multiplier until it's either fixed, or removed. This recent update, along with my current settings, have made the game tolerable again. And I do like the additional zones, even though I can't imagine anyone ever using anywhere near 100. The raid protection is ok I guess.
    Thanks for voicing your opinion, as other content creators refuse to. A large majority of the player base agrees with you.

  • @GrimBurkwulf
    @GrimBurkwulf 9 месяцев назад +6

    I believe the vast majority of players would agree with your thoughts/feelings, Recon. The game very much feels like its being geared toward a PVP specific game. They need to go back to the original premise of the game as a PVE survival, with PVP elements. I hope the Devs listen to their player base, but history has shown that game developers do not care, as long as they are making money. I feel like some of these DLCs are just a carrot to keep leading us on and giving them money. There are so many other things they could be focusing on. But hey, we shall see what happens. Liked the video, I think you are spot on with everything you said.

    I 100% agree. This spawn manager system is killing the game. I run a hard PVE server with my friends and we had a lot of fun together bevore 0.95. Now is the server empty. All of them left SCUM because they are frustrated and have no fun anymore and no clear reaction from the devs about it. What do they plan with this, what the direction they want to go? Sadly I'll close the server now, because it makes no sense to run it.

The update is not what we asked for devs. A game called Surroundead that has one person making it has got a better sniping puppets from a long distance and is still early access. Even the binoculars works awesome from a long ways off. Thank you recon4t for the informative video. You are great at speaking your mind , Have a awesome day and see in whatever game you play next.

      At least the spawning isn't that bad as it was anymore. You only need to crank up some values and it's almost ALMOST bearable.
      Only thing I still hate is their disappearance if you run away. Don't need to plan a second approach, there's no one there on your return. They just go poof and the place is and stays empty for a good while.
      Actually, you don't have to kill one puppet, just run away far enough, return and loot in peace and quiet.

I really enjoy "regular" modern weapons or the plate carriers and combat helmets we have now in scum, that type of thing. It's one of the reasons I have put up with scums bullshit for so long is excellent gunplay and weapon animations.

    I finally broke down and bought a SCAR and put a P223 scope on it. I carry it with my compound bow and SF19. Haven't shot the SCAR once. I'm thinking about replacing it with the Blackhawk. I got my sniping leveled up to advanced +18% sniping puppets. No more though. I haven't checked how many DLC's there are. I've bought 10 of them. I also am PVE only. I'll never have even 1 player kill.

  • @Oni1975
    @Oni1975 9 месяцев назад +3

    If I'm being generous, one possible explanation for the current mess that is the puppet spawning system is that they are not meant to be our targets at range. When they add TEC1 NPCs that can engage at range, maybe that's where scopes and binos will be useful to pve'ers again. We are all assuming TEC1 NPCs will spawn exactly like the puppets spawn now, but maaaaybe not? Communication (or lack of it) has always been an issue I've had with the devs since I started playing. It wouldn't kill them to release a short video giving some details about how TEC1 NPCs will work in the spawning system.
    But I agree with you man. It feels really bad right now and the devs are not doing much of anything to indicate they are listening or care. it's their game, fair enough, they can do whatever they want. On the flip side, it's fair for me to walk away if I don't like it. I guess we'll see. Thanks for the video!

      Like it or not, understand it or not, (I'm not saying you don't) but some people have real anxiety when it comes to pvp. I myself have this issue. It didn't used to be like that. I just prefer the more casual gaming experience of pve survival over sweaty back and forth pvp and getting hours of gameplay erased by some over night base raid.

    I have owned this game since day of release and have a lot of hours of playtime. The game has been going down for a long time, Tomislav is an arrogant moron and for a man of his age and position is an embarrassment to the game. The amount of player he has insulted and disrespected is shocking. Not sure if it’s him not listening but telling everyone what to do or the entire dev team aren’t listening. Their Discord is a cesspit of toxic fan boys are instantly jump on anyone who dares to make any form of constructive criticism, then the moderators who are no better and 9 times out of ten ban the person who produces a constructive argument. The decision over a year ago to remove all of the vehicles had to be one of the most incompetent and stupid decisions in the history of gaming, then it’s been a massive waiting game to get them back and ultimately they have kicked the loyal players in the balls by not adding them back regularly but devoting time to make totally unnecessary premium DLC. The updates having actually been impressive anyways, we have a modular base building system that’s weighted down with restrictions and seems to have been abandoned as we have not seen a single addition since it’s release. My opinion is, they will milk as much cash out of the PC 1.0 release and then I think they will divert most their attention to the console release as obviously profit is way more important than any form of customer satisfaction.
    What hasn’t helped either is the certain click of RUclipsrs who praise everything that’s released, instead of letting the devs know the community isn’t happy, and again this is supported by their discord moderators as I said the exact same thing in the general chat without any toxicity, only to be banned for a week for allegedly disrespecting a highly respected RUclipsr (moderators exact words) so there’s little point in even trying. Unless we can get everyone on board to make sure the devs know we aren’t happy I reckon this game will fail in the next 12 months, Tomislav will not allow this game to be modded either he’s too much of a control freak. Shame because this game has so much potential.

    At first, I was very confused on the entire point of the video (I think you should've gotten to the point a bit quicker, it took you about 7 minutes to start actually discussing anything, just my opinion)
    I was super confused when you said the upgrade with the binocular's were useless, until you explained the way the spawning system works. I genuinely had no clue that's how the game works, so I have to agree with you there... IMO, I enjoy the way you can paint your firearms, I enjoy the option to armor up vehicles, but, if that's all in the name of solely focusing on PVP, than fuck off. I would like to see AI bandits and security and things of that nature, so armoring vehicle and trip mines, or mines at all, and things like that I thoroughly enjoy, same being with camouflaging yourself, but again, if that isn't for "hiding" for AI at all, and solely for PVP, fuck off....I have to agree with your video here pal...I have to agree.
