The Lerch

I have pictures of both of these tweets, however I can’t seem to upload pictures from my phones camera roll. Sep 27 a tweet from @lathspel came out saying “borderland Bridges seems to disrupt the antenna signal in shelter. Expect lower amount of crowns until it adjusts to the new situation” -blaming the nerf on a bug THEN sep 30 a tweet from @vigorthegame “ you may have noticed your antenna was tweaked over the weekend- producing a lower amount of crowns we are currently testing this change and are open to your feedback” two contradicting messages... one unanimously angry player base over changes. We are glad you “listen” to feedback, now is probably a good time to react to it; Clearly and as a team. ps- it would be pretty easy to boost sales if you lower the cost for crowns and increase their value. A common solution I’ve seen straight from the community of your game. Psps- can’t express enough how terrible of a decision it was to mess with the antenna unannounced and make it virtually worthless. If you want to increase player retention, there needs to be more games with loot boosted. If no one invests in a game I almost always head straight for the exit. hope this helps! -vigor veteran

as my shelter continues to grow my need for certain items increases. i have some go to places for certain supplies, but not for everything. for example: if i need metal parts or wire, Fjellkanten is the place to go hands down. if i need electronics, im going to Dverg forest. however i am at a loss for supplies like gas and fertilizer. found some good fertilizer spread out along fjellkanten, but only if someone invests in the loot. my main question is; does anyone have a go to map/location for gas?? right now I head to Viktorsen Station, and go to the gas station. but that map is getting very little action at the moment.

when i first started playing, the safe was almost all ammo and weapon parts I would say guaranteed weapons in the safe would increase the value for alot of players struggling to get higher tier guns. the supplies found in the safe right now are great for beginners getting their shelter up and running, but as you progress and need specific supplies the safe loses its value for the risk. i usually go for the safe when im close by and someone else has started unlocking it.

@Kuljack my GT : King Vaderr message me on Xbox and I’ll show you were to get wire and metal parts fast also I can show you where to get even more fertilizer on fjellkanten! good tip for gas! I’ll use that.

@Oldninja thanks for looking out! But I’d honestly enjoy the challenge! When I become marked for death, I rarely leave right away. People bring their loot to me, and as long as you keep moving, you can bait people. if you wanna camp these spots hoping that I’m still on the gas grind, be my guest 🙂

@wyvern01 top 30 in food easily have a +20 kd. And I am confident if I had a constant tracker on me for everyone to know my location it would still be unfair for them. Plus look what happens when you ask! Got a lot if good responses. GT: King Vaderr if you you see me in your lobby, just head to the exit 😉

@Cry2yourMoM i would agree. I am the person with money to blow on games I like. However I haven’t spent money on this game since buying the founders pack back in February. My biggest deterrent for spending money on this game are 1. Losing crowns due to game drop. It is theft; although not intentional. (And prior to the antenna fiasco I had faith in the devs to correct this with crown reimbursement for all or something) 2. The value of crowns is weak. Even with the old antenna values. A maxed antenna use to produce 20 crowns per day. Thats 140 a week or 3 crate upgrades.... I can go through 5-8 games per hour... 3. Game has become pretty great since playing in February, but is still an update or two away from me feeling like I’m gambling crowns on my skill instead of gambling on my game connection. given these 3 factors, there is plenty of things to try to boost sales. But when the community has constantly commented about losing crowns due to connection issues and no reimbursement; nerfing the only sure way to earn crowns... is anything but rational.

Have you tried uninstalling, then reinstalling? I have not seen this issue anywhere, so it may have a simple solution.

@Fireball1361 nerf means to weaken or make less effective

so don't play? no one gives a poop if you don't like a free game. lmao

Thanks for the response! Let me preface this post. I’m a vigor king. Top 30 food donated. I know where basic items can be found. I’m looking for the exceptions. For example the gas station on viktorsen station has 6 cans in one spot. I’ve come to learn the forest dump on dverg forest has about 4-5 cans in one spot. These are the locations I’m looking for

Just throwing this out there to the devs. Sometimes while upgrading my food boxes, they won’t produce any food until the upgrade is complete. Now ya know

not permanent gang! Just a glitch!

@Pyrit. Just noticed this as well. Been excitedly upgrading my antenna lately, and now max lvl wouldn’t even come close to 10 per day. ( the original lvl 1 antenna production) This is clearly a money play, but the encounters getting boosted seems rare enough lately. And even if they are boosted I only ever see green and blue crates. Which are still pretty garbage. vigor devs, going the wrong way on this one. This game isn’t pay to win it is pay to increase the fun. And now we can expect even more stingy lobbies and boring games

whats left in your mag automatically gets deposited back into your shelter.

given the most recent news update about the push back of the final game release, i have a few thoughts. 1.) this game is great, but wasn't ready for a full release. good call devs 2.) I am excited about the new things you are looking to add to your game, but relieved to hear that you are finishing a rework of the shooting mechanics, first, as this community agrees that the gun play updates should take priority With this said, I want to address the most irritating part of playing this game today.... the inevitable character wipe... on a date TBD I found this game after giving up on playing anthem. a game that was released.... way to early. so i have only been playing for a month and i am at a crossroads. i have enough weapon parts to create multiple top tier weapons, which require a crafting table level of 8&9. my crafting table is currently lvl6. and my attitude towards this dilemma is, "why should I even play?" In the past week, I have played with the idea that the full game would be released by the end of march, and that wipe could come any day now. but now we have no clue when this could come, and i am reaching a point that a lot of the community reached before i even picked this game up.... whats the point? why continue playing? how many hours am i wasting at this point? what i would like to see is... 1.) A general road map of some sort. give us an idea of a new launch date or a final wipe date 2.) compensation for hours of "testing" your game only to have all progress lost. i know the devs have considered this, but i would like to hear ideas from the community of how the founders pack players can be reconciled for this loss of time. I understand why the wipe is deemed necessary by the devs. but there are ways to do this without disappointing the Core supporters (founder pack players) of this game. An idea i have, would be to do the character wipe a week before the final game release. giving the founders pack players a full week to build before the release. or being able to keep certain loot (like gun parts) while still resetting shelter level. let me know what yall think!

I can get a video of this as well. Happens to me about 40% of the time

2&3 happen to me in almost 100% of my encounters. If you let me know where to send the videos, I will gladly send some examples ALSO! there seem to be some issues with picking up defeated enemies weapons. Specifically, they always seem to have a single bullet in the chamber and sometimes won’t reload right away, or won’t reload at all. And yes, in these instances I make sure I have picked up the reserve ammo off the body as well. thank you for responding back promptly! It makes this game extra cool if you have open dialogue with y’all!

Here are a few issues I run into consistently while playing today...in order of annoyance... 1.) loot creates costing me materials... lost over 400 chemicals, 200 electronics, 700 glass, and countless metal parts, while opening crates. i now have no incentive to open crates if I am trying to stockpile resources. 2.) Dead bodies making noise... in highly contested areas, the sound of dead bodies constantly hitting the ground drowns out the noise of a potential enemy. 3.) Reloading when you have a full clip of ammo... usually while trying to be stealthy i will open a door or loot a drawer and my character will reload my fully loaded gun, alerting everyone within a certain radius of my location. 4.) Bushes acting as cover. It is a weird dynamic. hiding in a bush near by only to find someone else in the same bush, and if you shoot while in the bush, no one will take damage. which leads to weird fights... i actually wouldn't have too much of a problem with this if there were grenades or a better way to fight people hiding in bushes. 5.) Crazy fall damage. sometimes the fall damage is just too much. ill have to heal most of my health before i even see someone thanks to running down a hill, or running off a rock that launches me higher than i expected. would really enjoy seeing most of these changed, or fixed in the next update. But AS ALWAYS, only posting this to open dialogue between devs and players. GT: King VADERR

@Oldninja i haven't seen any change to weapon parts stacking either.

It was announced on the site a couple days ago. Under news

i have had this issue as well.

In my experience if the game crashes on you, you’ll keep all your guns and what was in your backpack. If you exit the game before the game fully crashes, you will lose everything as if you died in the last encounter. I have sometimes gotten my crowns back and sometimes lost them. (Depends on what point in the encounter I crashed) While it is annoying, Dont get too frustrated. You’ll get all the crowns you spent, back at game launch.

Pro tip- if you ADS while crouching you will move significantly quieter.

Sorry I hurt you
