Haha, really?
Did someone complained, because "muh collonialism", and dev were too spineless to say "no"? Or was it entirely their decision?
>>717890887
People were bitching about it being changed on the Steam forums and Peak's shitcord.
Also the devs still have not fixed the "taking fall damage when you're barely falling" issue months later. Physics engine setup is fucked and you're still building full downward velocity even when sliding slowly along a surface in some cases.
>no plans to add public matchmaking >yet strangers can join your game as it is already
They didn't even address the lobby code idea which side steps all of that.
>>717891813
I know some people who didn't want to play it because they're just poor even though that shit is like 5 bucks. Gift them the game and they'll play.
>>717891751
There are 14 map seeds that cycle daily and a new mountain is generated from that day's seed at the start of the day. The mountain is the same for everyone.
>>717891813
What's the point? You'll just have a lot of fun with your friends for a couple of months. Play a game that's meant to stay popular forever.
>>717891576
I had a fine time running solo on Easy difficulty. Doing Normal is an exercise in frustration and RNG items, since hookshots/grapples basically become mandatory to hold for later, but you only have limited inventory when solo.
>>717892425 >Kiln >Easiest part
What? Caldera is the easiest part. And that got buffed too, heat damage builds up faster and wears off slower, so lavabed runs are more dangerous now.
>>717892492
I got the two areas mixed up, my bad. I thought they made it where heat will remove faster once the wear-off point passes though.
That said, making lava rise in that last area will be aids, given how shit visibility is in there to even determine what the intended safe route would be.
>>717887271 (OP)
The fact that you go on a chimpout because of a hat proves them right, it WAS used by weirdos like you dropping randos on purpose while screaming n word
>>717892554
Kiln's layout seems to have changed, there's now more obvious routes that lead up instead of needing to use climbing tools and make leaps of faith. There's also lavaflows on the outside of the volcano, so they might be encouraging people to try outside climbs too. I know they were possible before, just really hard.
>>717892654
Oh also the Kiln campfire got moved from the temple to inside the volcano now, probably because you'd build up hunger just hiking into the volcano before despite eating at the temple.
>>717892654
Huh. I would have figured outside climbing would be impossible, since I assumed the long hallway into the volcano interior was what triggered the loading of that area. If they made it less aids to do without tools though then I'm fine without lava. Shit was aids prior due to requiring multiple pitons, grapples, etc, to make certain break points where you can reclaim stamina.
>>717891017 >we cant add lobby codes because uhhhh moderation issues
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET A LOBBY CODE FROM SOMEONE IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW THEM YOU RETARDS
AND IF SOMEONE'S USING A RANDOM LOBBY CODE THEY KNOW THE """RISKS""" ALREADY
FUCKING HELL
>>717892851
Yeah, the Mesa biome. Replaces Alpine for the next week, then future islands will randomly choose between Alpine and Mesa. Standing in the sunlight in Mesa will burn you, there's mirages, tornadoes, lots of spiky cacti, antlion traps, live dynamite traps, and so on. They also added balloons which can reduce your descend speed (2 balloons eliminates fall damage), cannons that you can launch yourself out of, and some other mysterious stuff.
>>717893064
Also, they added cannabalism. If you're at 70% hunger you start seeing other scouts as walking chickens, and you can bite at them to deal damage and restore hunger, while also taking curse damage.
I always had the hardest time with finding the routing on Alpine than any other biome for whatever reason. Snow biome is annoying with the frostbite damage, but at least it's easier to gauge a path.
>>717894945
Both. If you approach it it will auto-light and explode in a BIG explosion, dealing damage + fire damage and blasting anything caught in the explosion away. It will also cook anything caught in the explosion too. You can pocket them before they explode to use it yourself.
>>717893064
something interesting too, if you put a balloon bunch (looks like 3 of them) in your backpack then they eliminate, or at least greatly reduce, the weight of it without being used, it's like an anti bing-bong
>>717891868
start on the left and climb until you get to the treetops, then shift far right. Just remember that vines are OP now and you lose basically 0 stamina climbing them and you climb them at around 5x the speed you used to.
>>717891017
There is literally zero difference between having random retards adding each other as friends and just having them use a lobby code to join each other
It's just convenience, fucking retarded devs
>>717898053
Matchmaking needs servers, servers are overhead. With the current P2P system they don't ever have to worry about netcode or major desync issues with a server entity that they are responsible for. They might be shielding themselves from criticism with the easy bait of saying it's for "moderation" but in reality they just don't want the work/upkeep of managing the matchmaking service.
>>717891017
There's a mod that adds a lobby browser but it seems to be broken after the update. I don't think it has lobby codes but it might work for playing with /v/ if you can set a password. It'd probably be fun with the other mod that lets you play with up to 20 people.
>>717898317
You don't need matchmaking for a lobby code
Literally just p2p as it is now, just letting anyone with the code join instead of just Steam friends
I bet they just want traffic on their discord server
>>717892560 >they removed the transflag >OH MY GOD THIS IS LITERALLY GENOCIDE
huh really shows only weirdos used those since they are making a fuss
also you can't play the game with randos you fucking retarded ape
>>717890996
that's a deliberate feature to counter being able to jump spam up inclines with zero stamina, if you are attempting to "cheat" better hope you can make it otherwise you're being rocketed into the ground
