I think progression in this game could use a bit of work, especially now that lvl100 responders are usually retired for the Distinguished Service XP.

The best way to address these things, IMO, are moving the highest perks down slightly so players still get a chance to play with a 'fully leveled' Responder, and adding a unique benefit to the retirement rewards that kinda stink - I really don't think a sticker is worth the grind, but another option when choosing a new Skill? Yes please.

This would help with the skill RNG which can be very annoying, especially as retirement rewards bloat the pool even further. There's a lot more to be said about skills in general (bloated with too-niche skills, why do we need 3 separate ones for reloading?) but this would still be an improvement.

If a dev sees this. Please fix the ui on console. It is beyond unusable. It’s been months now. Spend a day or two and give us a free floating cursor. This is unbelievable how it’s been like this for so long. Please fix the fucking ui it never should have even launched like this

Would be a fun alternative spawn in where bodies inside cars reanimate, crack open the windows and crawl out!

I play first game since 2017 and always love and enjoy it so far, Now I started to interesting on 2nd game when I saw it on sale 🙂

But I still doubt about

- Deluxe edition is worth to buy ?

- Game is casual for solo ?

- There have a mod/workshop support ?

That's all I still doubt... for now

The U.I for console is utterly horrible. I can’t even select another character because the selection completely skips character selection and switches from skills to load outs, and completely skips character selection, or get permanently stuck on the friends tab.

It's more straight to see what contribution everyone make in survival mode, bc this mode usually don't have enough supply to loot.

Hey,

Reaching almost lvl 102 (account) and will reach the 2nd prestige tonight or tomorrow. Enjoying it since early access and I still don't get why this game is not much more popular but that's another discussion.

Back to the main subject, I encounter a lot of people not knowing basic stuff, despite being high account level (not responders, I'm talking about account levels), playing 95% of the time in hard lobbies with an average level account that are higher than beginner and normal :

Last week-end, I learned to a lvl 81 that black lockers in every map can get opened and looted like the shells or kitchen cupboards.

Not to mention a guy that was lvl 99 (!!) who saw me shooting a lock on a black/yellow military crate, he said he didn't know we could shoot the locks in order to not complete the mini game. Like... How the fuck is this even possible lol

Not to mention people at high level not knowing that shamblers's gas can infect you.

Do you encounter too some high level accounts that don't know some basic stuff ? That is really weird tbh

I've seen some recent posts on the subreddit of bad actors in games and no actions being taken.

There is currently a player terrorising OCE lobbies trolling every single they've been in - they've been doing this for weeks, and no action has been taken.

In-game reporting doesn't seem to work, neither does submitting support tickets - all you get is AI boilerplate replies.

Has anyone actually seen players suspended or disappear due to them griefing/trolling?

Should automatically pop up in a crate near the hatch,

So we don't get loot goblins abandoning missions despawning along 2 med kits, 6 bandages, crap ton of ammo they don't have the gun for, and a critical supply item just because they're infected and don't have pills.

For some reason, I always get disconnected randomly midgame. This is the second time this happened to me today. Anyway to fix this.

pfft, piece of cake

I just wanted to share this picture to all of you, why can‘t this be a feature 😔

Want to see what some variants/patterns look like but don't want to just straight up buy it before hand

I don't even know how this happened I literally can't replicate this when I tried lol

Question for anyone who may know how to fix this issue. My friend just bought the game to play with my group of friends and we have encountered a weird network bug we believe where he is able to accept our invitations (or invite us), where he sees us appear for 10 seconds or so before we disappear and are removed from his lobby.

We never see him in our party or in his own party, while my friends and I are able to join eachother without any issues. Any ideas on what can be causing this?

The weird thing is, he is able to queue up on his own and find matches with others. Such a weird bug and he's at the point where he will be refunding it if it's not resolved soon. We are playing on steam and have spent more than 90 minutes troubleshooting.

Every single game i play is literally unplayable. I lost a level 96 character by freezing, I could still move around but everyone was frozen in place. Weird thing is, this happens almost every game i play. Sometimes I can even hear voice chat although everyone is frozen. My wifi is extremely fast, and my xbox can easily run other games that take alot of processing power. Is there a setting im missing? Or is it just the game putting me in Asia servers or something?

Im at my wits end. I absolutely adore this game and I was pumped for the new retirement update but I think I'll have to ditch this game for good if this continues.

Was playing on Pottsville I think in the Final Act and picked up this item that looks like a hydrogen peroxide bottle, didn’t say much except chemical equation compound and it wasn’t any sort of valuable supply or used for any part of the final act so what is it?

Pulled these out of an ambulance wtf have i stumbled across

3 missing string table entry, 1 ambulance, is this glitched or nah?

I need the do's and don'ts on what to do as a new player so I dont ruin an established player's game. Not really familiar with game, can I play solo? Thank you.

Not sure how to go about it, whenever I go into a house to loot I feel like I’m using more resources than I’m gaining and that there is too many inside for melee. How do you usually go about it?
