Greetings from Norway! (yes actually from Norway) First of all, thank you for a great looking game! And second, there is no negative criticism in this post, just constructive! :) After playing about 10hours of closed beta and about 5hours game preview, this is some of what I have noticed, experienced and would like to see: Technical issues / suggestions: - player sound feels a little mono/stereo and environment/player-volume needs better balancing - settings needs to be saved - ammo-issue in inventory - vibration needs to be synced with hitting and stabbing - reloading animation needs syncing in TP and FP aiming - sometimes crash when evacuating and throws you back to xbox home - MUZZLE FLASH, it is hard to spot a person shooting at you from a distance or spot people shooting at each other - make it harder to scavenge weapons, right now I have so many that I don´t really care if I die and loose some and if you go out with just a knife, or empty loadout, it seems like it is easier to get weapons when you loot - dropping items from inventory when looting - melee balancing, right now it is easier to knife someone than shoot someone in close combat - being able to store more materials than needed for upgrades, but not unlimited, let´s say like 20% or something - swimming is something I haven´t seen yet - climbing objects, larger rocks, up mountains, buildings etc. - for the Game Preview it could be nice to have a “report an issue”-tab or option in the settings menu Game suggestions: - as others have said, DUO matchmaking and solo without the possibility to team up (this still happens) - being able to switch to first person, I have always been a FPS-player - I bet you have some sort of weapon customization planned here, I would LOVE som better sights, aiming is difficult on an xbox, with a controller and sitting 3-4meters from the 48” tv - crafting and repairing weapons and like someone else said, crossbow or bow (from playing first edition of RUST, I loved running around with a bow, silent, cheap and epic if you managed to kill someone) and more DIY weapons - more customizeable shelter building, more activities around shelter - building shelter with a friend, lobby shelter with a friend, I feel a bit lonely, hehe - trading post, like a lobby where you can meet other survivors, trade and even make friends - some live animals around the maps? like cows and some small game. - I see some others have suggested a companion animal, pet, first thing that comes into mind is Fallout, and I wouldn´t want that - a couple larger scale PVE-maps for hunting and exploring the fantastic environment you have created (or maybe combine the shelter with som sort of PVE, hunting and defending against nature, weather and animals) Living in Norway I actually have been hiking in environments similar to this many times, and it brings back feelings and memories just exploring nature. - binoculars I hope to see an update soon, because right now it feels like very repetitive and would become boring fast. And it feels like you only have to options, either go out to loot or go out to shoot. Looting feels too fast, it is like a race to get as much as you can, and get out as fast as you can without encountering other players. Shooting feels like trying to win the lottery, but less stressful until you shoot at one player and realises that he or she is teamed up. I also hope to see you developers listen to us users and we all end up with a fantastic game to play for years to come! It has great potential. Visually you have really created something great!
