They 'Arrre' coming back could be the improvised rafts....the 'Arrre' being a hint to 'Pirate' life ;) would like to see those come back after such a long time.
Hats off to Gamepires for owning their side of the problem. It's nice to see a game maker not resort to gaslighting players or deflection every time they make a simple mistake, especially in EA. This is how you speak to your community responsibly.
Took their time to reach this point. Lost many players while they were stubbornly in denial of the obvious problem. But, better late than never. Hope they live up to the promises. I'm optimistic.
This is the first real reply of its kind since they broke the puppet spawn system back in December. It's actually pretty terrible communication. They could learn a lot from other developers who have much more detailed and timely communications. But, at least they finally said something. That's something, at least.
@@Oni1975 im getting what youre saying but December isnt all that far back and theyre even acknowledging it wich in itself is great. Ive seen worst record than that at communicating and thats what i had in mind when i wrote this and its my humble take that overall SCUM has been keeping in touch with their players and they brought new stuff and expanded and pushed the limits of the experience.
Hello there and friendly greetings! I have to say that: I got the feelings that the "joint venture" of Gamepires and Jagex is bringing more and more good things to the game. Polishing a game as huge as SCUM (not the heaviest game out there, TBH but huge nonetheless) and reworking some mechanics from scratch is a daunting task and relatively little mistakes can slip thru the cracks; relatively little because in some environment, what might considered little can have a cascade reaction creating unexpected and obscenely complex brand new issues; I talk out of experience... Thanks for keeping us update Mondo! 😃 I miss the horned dirtbike and the Mad Max suv... Those were badass! But I'd be happy with a crossbike as well... I'm a little bit done to run up and down all the map! 😵💫
My honest opinion after 100 hours, the old spawnsystem was already garbage, no immersion at all. So they changed it to that Horde spawner, i never touched it because i knew it was trash right away. So they go back to a already garbage system. The problem is they Cant change it because the server performance would go to poopoo ... so i quit. Imagine, scoping from far away into a city, zero zombies, walking in the city, zombies are magically there. What a trash system.
The next vehicle will be tractors. The "Arrre" is very likely a reference to a stereotypical farming accent in the UK, Jagex is based in Cambridge which is surrounded by farmland, especially in neighbouring regions like Suffolk and Norfolk. That's my best guess anyway!
Too many people been throwing their toys out the pram over the encounter system, as I've always said It WILL get better so everyone needs to relax and lay off the negativity towards the game, people cant expect a whole new system to drop and it works right off the bat ffs!
Yeah it will get better for sure, personally I've been enjoying the "extra zambies/danger" I was playing on a Hardcore server where the zambies hit pretty hard and it was a fun challenge, even made it down in the abandoned bunkers.
To be fair, the system is still broken and puppets still spawn depending on where u are right next to you. HOWEVER, it got better and currently i encounter puppets inside houses and such again. (Yeay c:) That was something i missed so hard. Also looking forward to the next update 😊
This communication should have come out in January, or at the very latest February. At least they confirmed what I already suspected. We'll see what the "fix" looks like, but I'm a bit doubtful.
Devs: they arrrrrrre coming back. Gaming central: I'm guessing next up is chopper bike.......😂😂 Bro the hint is towards boats, like pirates rrrrrrr me matey
For me the puppets are a lot better. I've been going around the B2 airport clearing puppets with a Katana. Tonight I didn't go to the airport. I decided I wanted to go chicken hunting. I hit up the farms east of the airport and got 4 chickens. Then cooked 3 of them. Maybe it won't be long before I get my 25 animal kills with a bow achievement. What can I say I just started working on the achievement and only have 9 or 10 so far. I found out it can take a while for a chicken to spawn in at the farms.
@@GamingCentralGC I just saw one being chased. Then the puppets started chasing me so I didn't get to check and see if I could get the chicken they probably killed.
So what's the deal with hordes? I've been playing as if its normal to walk around with no activity or minimal activity and then all of a sudden be swamped out of nowhere. Is that a glitch or a feature?
I only play this game one time this year when i got the new GPU to see how is running. I got bored in this game so much i can't play it anymore without any PVE content.
I did read in one of the development updates that they are reworking/improving the movement system, so hopefully we will see that as well maybe with Update 1.0v
Yeah they did adjust it a bit a few times I think, before the Hordes/zambies would spawn right on top of us now they spawn a bit further, it looks like they will chance it/improve it a bit more.
Weird take. What's your definition of and reference for extremely slow? The next closest analog in the market today, DayZ, spent 2x what scum has so far in EA and was a steaming poo filled dumpster fire on launch and really remained that way until modders came along and fixed all the stuff that was rushed out the door in a half complete state to hit deadlines.Would you really accept that same outcome for scum to go faster on an overall more complex game?
The Zambie Hordes? I mean they have been nerfed in to the ground (at least on Officials). Played about 20 Hours these past 2 weeks and only triggered one Zambie Horde. And even then there were only 4-5 zambies not much of a horde to be honest.
@@GamingCentralGC and it's also true that some other youtubers need A LOT more patience (and less clickbait titles and AI thumbnails for the same old, boring content. OF COURSE I am not talking about our man @GamingCentralGC 😉)

Yeah it would be great to have the rafts back.
The rafts are borderline useless, sadly..
Hats off to Gamepires for owning their side of the problem. It's nice to see a game maker not resort to gaslighting players or deflection every time they make a simple mistake, especially in EA. This is how you speak to your community responsibly.
I 100% agree.
totally, and VERY rare!
Took their time to reach this point. Lost many players while they were stubbornly in denial of the obvious problem. But, better late than never. Hope they live up to the promises. I'm optimistic.
i wish every game team would communicate like this with their base
Yeah communication is key for sure.
A game I thought the developers did a really good job communicating with the players is Planet Crafter.
They don't havechooice at this point

awesome good to hear things are changing being fixed and improving
Same here.
The next vehicle will be tractors. The "Arrre" is very likely a reference to a stereotypical farming accent in the UK, Jagex is based in Cambridge which is surrounded by farmland, especially in neighbouring regions like Suffolk and Norfolk.
That's my best guess anyway!
Yeah that could be, they even released a bit of footage of an armoured up tractor.
@@GamingCentralGC Wait and see, but around the UK I think many people associate the "arghhh" sound with farmers haha
Too many people been throwing their toys out the pram over the encounter system, as I've always said It WILL get better so everyone needs to relax and lay off the negativity towards the game, people cant expect a whole new system to drop and it works right off the bat ffs!

@@GamingCentralGC I only ever play hardcore, much better experience
Just promises at the moment, nothing concrete! Let's wait and see the actual results...then we can discuss.
Theres this wild concept called "testing" that clearly wasn't done.

Haha I was thinking "arrree" as in it's noisy but yeah boats make more sense as in "arree" for pirates 😅

Yeah the chickens spawns can be a bit rare but I have seen quite a few of them being chased by the zambies.
@@GamingCentralGC I just saw one being chased. Then the puppets started chasing me so I didn't get to check and see if I could get the chicken they probably killed.
My dad is a dev and the cheating problem is real, he used to ban 5-7 players per day, on just one server.
Yeah I'm sure most Online games are faced with the same issue.
So what's the deal with hordes? I've been playing as if its normal to walk around with no activity or minimal activity and then all of a sudden be swamped out of nowhere. Is that a glitch or a feature?
They are supposed to trigger if we make a lot of noise, like blasting unsuppressed weapons but right now they are a bit buggy.
@@GamingCentralGC gotcha, that would be awesome, right now they're unpredictable af.
I only play this game one time this year when i got the new GPU to see how is running. I got bored in this game so much i can't play it anymore without any PVE content.
Prrrrrety surrrre they mean rafts ;)
Ohh Arrrr as in Pirates meaning boats.
if they do it . i will be in love with the game again i don't have my hope up yet
Hopefully they will get to the bottom of it and fix it up.
huge! 🔥
Absolutely ❤
Any idea on the date of the next update?
No idea unfortunately. But it's been over a month since the last Update so hopefully we'll see a new update in May.
Scum biggest issue: M O V E M E N T .They need to rework that asap.
I did read in one of the development updates that they are reworking/improving the movement system, so hopefully we will see that as well maybe with Update 1.0v
But what about US the PVE players . Is there something new in survival aspect ?
As far as I can tell when it comes to PVE stuff/threats we are going to get Armed NPC's and A Quest System as well.
Um remember, they also said they already fixed it too.
Yeah they did adjust it a bit a few times I think, before the Hordes/zambies would spawn right on top of us now they spawn a bit further, it looks like they will chance it/improve it a bit more.
They should implement official controller support. Also, the development for Scum has been extremely slow. Character creation needs an update as well.
Maybe when/if they do a console release.
Weird take. What's your definition of and reference for extremely slow? The next closest analog in the market today, DayZ, spent 2x what scum has so far in EA and was a steaming poo filled dumpster fire on launch and really remained that way until modders came along and fixed all the stuff that was rushed out the door in a half complete state to hit deadlines.Would you really accept that same outcome for scum to go faster on an overall more complex game?
How did this age? 🤣
The Zambie Hordes? I mean they have been nerfed in to the ground (at least on Officials). Played about 20 Hours these past 2 weeks and only triggered one Zambie Horde. And even then there were only 4-5 zambies not much of a horde to be honest.
When the game loads it gives a warning.....SCUM is in early development etc etc etc Some other youtubers need more patience.
Yeah that's *vewy* true, the game is still a work in progress.
@@GamingCentralGC and it's also true that some other youtubers need A LOT more patience (and less clickbait titles and AI thumbnails for the same old, boring content. OF COURSE I am not talking about our man @GamingCentralGC 😉)
Words are cheap. They said a bunch wich never happened. Believe it when I see it...
Podcast!
Podcast time :)
ITs not a "ZAMBIE" its puppets. Learn the obvious difference, if you play Scum so long.
