The developers are not your enemy.

Hi all.

As of late, I've seen a lot of posts here and on the discord by people unhappy with the current state of b42. Various things such as certain traits being nerfed too hard, too many zombies, and so on.

While I understand that these issues are frustrating, I think that people are reading way, way too into them.

The devs are not trying to make the play experience too difficult for people to enjoy. This is the first beta of the new build, with only two hotfixes so far. Some things are going to be poorly balanced, as these are the first days of the new build.

With time, these things will be fixed.

The devs are not trying to make the game super hard- the devs don't have an antagonistic relationship with the players as some people seem to believe here. They're just trying to make the best game they can.

Look at muscle fatigue- that got reduced to 60% of it's previous value within 24 hours of the update releasing.

The devs aren't trying to make things unrealistically difficult for the players like they're some kind of dungeon master pissed off with their players- it's just that the update literally just came out. If you want a more balanced experience, there is still b41 right there as fun as ever. There's a reason why you can only access b42 through a betas tab.

I'm not saying don't provide feedback. I'm not saying don't be annoyed at things like needing to carve 60 spears to hit level one carving.

I'm just asking for people not to assume malice where there is none.

Also, if you're wondering why things haven't been changed in a week- the devs are all on holiday. They return to work on the 6th, and I'll imagine we'll be seeing new hotfixes weekly for a while after that.
