Nether
Some Suggestions for Nether / Developers read this if you want
Hello everyone,

I bought Nether a long time ago,but I didn't really touch it until now.I'm currently play it,and it's pretty awesome though there are some things I would like to suggest.There's alot of potential in this game,so it'll be good for the devs to see this to improve it.

*I mainly play PVE,so I won't go into details about PVP*

1.More Nether

Why?
I mainly don't ever run into any Nether while doing my usual courier runs.If I ever do,it's usually just 1 by itself.In PVE,the enviroment is what you're up against.The lack of that enviorment doesn't really make much of a challange.

Suggestions
-Let Nether spawn often
(Or at least have an option for servers to modify the fequency of the spawns)

-Make Nether patrols that wonder about the world
(Maybe 2-10)

-A Nether horde
(I think it's a great idea,imagine 50-200 plus Nether walking through a certain area.It gives you a reason to not engage them.)

-New Nether types
(It'd be nice to fight something new other than the usual Crawler,Skrieker,and etc.
Maybe some animal Nethers or Nethers that have different abilites such as invisiblilty or a "rage mode")

2.Item Space/Weight adjustments

Why?
Some items just have unecessary space/weight,the Space capacity in the Global Inventory is barely anything for you if you have played for awhile.
(For example:Pain Pills take 10 space/Courier Packages weigh 20 Ibs)

Suggetions?
-Try to go for a reasonable space/weight
(I'm not suggesting a realistic adjustment,but something that would make sense)

Ex:Pain Pills-Instead of 10,you could adjust it to 2.

It'll help give some extra room in the Global Inventory/Backpack

3.More events

Why?
After saving Safezones,killing many Reapers,waiting at loot drops,running many escorts,and shooting pretty much everything in a surge,it get pretty boring after awhile repeating them.Some variety could spice things up.

Suggestions?

-Nether Nest
In a certain area,an Nether nest will spawn & tons of Nether will be guarding it.You & others will try to raid & destroy that nest.If you manage to destroy it,it'll drop an pretty nice amount of loot.

-Nether Rush
A bunch of Nether will spawn in an area,you & others will try to kill the Nether as fast as you can.If you kill them in a certain amout of time,a loot drop drone will come & you'll get loot based on how fast you killed them.

-Caravan Escort
You'll be escorting an caravan from 1 safezone to another,it'll get give a different amout of XP depending on the distance between them.

-Marathon/Death run
It'll be a event where you and some other players are stripped of your gear*It
ll be safe from losing if you die & you keep your level*.You will try to run from LSZ or one the other safezones to another point of the map *Ex.Klein's point* without getting killed by player controlled Nethers or other players participating.There will be limited supplies,so you either have to fight for it or just run for your life.You can work with other,or just kill everyone.*Don't know if this counts as a PVP event,but hey ideas*Thanks for Capt.Hairbearo for the suggestion

-Holdout
You & others will fend of against Nether in a tribe capture area or safezone for an certain amount of time.After you reach the time limit,a loot drop drone will drop in.

*The rewards will scale on how many people participate in it,so the more peple working together to finish it the more rewards they'll get.*

4.Dynamic Enviorment

Why?
I think it would be intresting to have an enviorment to have to adapt to.

Suggetions?

-Weather
As much as I the usual clear skies & almost Silent-Hill like fog,I think some rain will mix things up.(Some thunderstorms & snowstorms would be very fun)

-Night time
As many people would say,don't go out at night.This game would be a great way to show that.
(Nether will spawn more often,be more agressive,and will love to rip your face off.
You could add a new Nether that only spawns at night,it be a great addition to the monstrosites you have to deal with.)

5.Damage

The damage is a bit high for me(I don't if it's me,but I feel like the Nethers hit a bit too hard)
,and falling damage is ridiculous sometimes(An example I jumped off from the top of a 1 story building ,I died from it...I died.)

Suggestions?

-Readjust the damage from Nethers based on size/attack
(A crawler does about 100hp from a scratch,it's relativlty small so I think I should be about 25-50hp in my opinion.)

-Readjust fall damage based from the height
(I have taken 100hp from falling 3 feet to the ground from hitting a wall while on a glider.I don't think it should take that much.)

6.Stronger Characters
Honestly the players are weak against the Nether here,I think it's time to boost us up.

Suggestion?

-Higher level cap
(Don't know if it's different in each server(I play in Feelgood's server*Bless him for his server*)
but I feel the level cap is a bit low at 31.You could have a option to set level cap or maybe have a trade of skill points for some money.)

-Armor System
(Some type of armor will be helpful,give it a certain theshold before it gives out.
You can find them,buy them,or craft them)

Ex:Light Armor/can find or purchase/1500 damage
Heavy Armor/can find or purchase/2000 damage/slows you down a little
Netherhide Armor/Made with Nether skin/1000 damage
Bulletproof Armor/can find or purchase/1500 damage/reduced damage against bullets
Melee Armor/can find or purchase/1500 damage/reduced damage against melee
Riot Armor/can find or purchase/2500 damage/reduced damage against bullets & melee/
slows you down alot
Netherbone Armor/Made with various Nether parts/2000 damage/reduced damage against bullets & melee/Resistant to Skieker Vomit,Mantis Firebreath,and Hunter Spikes

-Bonus Damage/Stamina
(-For killing Nether or others,I believe you would get used to it after awhile.Kinda like Fallout NV's Lord Death perk,you should get extra damage based on how much you have killed.
-After running from HTO to MTO many times,you should be used to running back & forth.You'll get bonus stamina on how much you ran.)

Some extras
-Optimaization
(For now the game's running alright,though turning to from side to side it drops serverly.Some areas run a smooth 60 FPS,while others lag at 15 FPS or less.Movement doesn't help either usually ranging from 15-25 FPS.Seperating ammo & items will hit you with a lag spike like no other,you can barely seperate a stack ammo without crashing.)

-Start menu
(It's alright,but it should be a bit cleaner)

-User Interface
(It needs a facelift & needs to be more simple)

-Longer Loot stay-time
(It's pretty brutal to have all your stuff disapper in a minute,should increase to 3-5 minutes so you have at least a chance of recovering it)

-Deeper Character Customization
(Pretty much everyone looks the same everywhere I look,it'd be nice to stand out other using than masks & arm pieces.Hair,Hair color,Eyes,Eye color,etc there are so many options.

-Animations
(I feel the walking animations is a bit overdramtic in my opinion,maybe tone it down.)

-Glider Steering/not deploying
(I feel it's a bit too sensitive at times,like if I try turrn left or right I instantly do a 180.Would tone it a bit.I have died many times,when I jump off a high place & my glider doesn't work(Even though I press and held it).Please fix that)

-Gold Searches=Nothing
(I had open many gold searches,where I got nothing from it
Would like to have at least something)

-Personalized gold crate loot for the person who opened it
(Many players seem to swarm 1 player when they're spotted at a gold crate.That player who has a key to open it has right to all the contents to the crate.Once they open that crate for now though,like a bunch of desperate rats,the other players take everything & flee the scene leaving nothing for the player opening it.This had players who've worked their butt off for their keys furious,and would appreciate it if you made it to only the person who opened it gets the contents.*Thanks for the suggestion W.D.Gaster!)

-Trading
(Seems rather difficult to trade with someone in this game,since you run the risk of another person snatching it up if the person's not fast enough.It would be much easier to have a window open & put items in to trade.You can also see what the other person put into their window ,so you know you're not get scammed.Once you confirm to trade with them,a 5 second timer will count down then will give the items to the other player.If you want to cancel it,you can.)

-Faster Party/Trade
(With this in mind,RMBing while on a player will show a little menu that has party & trade.
Will be much more convient to implement that.)

-Flashlights
(I don't if it's just me but many people aren't able to use their flashlights at all.No visible light & no audible sound to notify you that it's on.Some others are lucky to have them actually function.I feel like the light beam for it is very weak.If you could add another flashlight that shines farther *name it High-powered Flashlight*,that would be appeciated)

-More guns/melee weapons
(Would doesn't love more weapons)
Ex:A Chainsaw,LMG,Flamethrower,RPG,Miniguns,Nether claw gauntlet,Reaper scythe,Skrieker vomit grenades,and many more...

-Melee detection/Shields
(Melee weapons/Shields have horrid hit detection at some times*Smack a crawler right next to me with my shield 6 times,didn't even register 1 hit*please fix this.
Shields seems to not block skrieker vomit,mantis fire,golem hits,etc. lots of time.Defeats the purpose of blocking when enemies can still hit you.)

-PVE player killing needs to be fixed
(People can still kill others with frag grenades.Not really PVE when you have this)

-Nether Player name
(It's hard to distinguish between grenade kills & Nether kills,if you could put the type of Nether next to the player's that would help.)
Ex. V3NOM Arkeios has been killed by (Crawler) xxxxxxxx
*Thanks to frostytp for the suggestion!*

-Vehicles/Buggys
(Well their name fits what they are,they are super buggy.Once you're inside one you can't get out of one sometimes.It'd be nice to fix this.
You could implemeny multi seated buggys too.Have a mounted gun on top ,have a trunk so you can store stuff in it.It could have upgrades for it also like upgraded armor,more trunk space,and a faster speed.More vehicles would be fun,a dirt bike,Humvee*with a mounted gun*,maybe a Helicopter?)

-Water
(Water is pretty much a deathtrap to many players,it may be more deadly to go into water than face a reaper with only a knife.Water tends to trap you underwater,which while underwater drains your health insanely fast which in turn kills you.I'd rather take a longer route on land then attempt to swim across water,please fix this.)

-Assets for buildings misplaced
(When I'm running up some floor/stairs up a build,I notice one is floating a little higher.)

-A full tutorial
(The tutorial doesn't really give you a full expanation of the games,had to ask in chat for a few things.The tutorial should give a helping start,not to throw you in cluessless.)

-Key bindings
(I like 3rd person,but I hate how I have to type /ChangeCamera everytime.It'd be nice to have a toggle.
I didn't even know this game had voice chat til someone told me it was B.You should probably put that in the setting
It's inconvienet to have to type /say,/group,& /tribe to talk in a certain chat.Should have a keybind to start chat for those
Crouch & Prone should be the same button Ex:LCtrl-Press LCtrl=Crouch Hold LCtrl=Prone
Could also make it completely customizable)

-Quickslots
(I've lost a lot of things when I forget my Quickslots reset everytime I log back into a server then jumping off a high place without a glider....please keep them from reseting.)

Controller support
(I feel some others would be more comfortable using a controller than a keyboard & mouse.)

-Chat customization
(It's annoying to see spam in the chat,should have settings/tabs to see what you want.
Ex:You have a World tab,so you can see everything,Then you have a custom tab that only shows tribe & group chat.)

-Voice Chat
(To have a little mic symbol by someone when they're talking would help.
Would also like to mute people indiviually when they are using voice chat,gets annoying hear white noise from another mic nearby.)

-Hackers
(I have reports of people telling me that hackers are still about.Some hack to look like Nether & instakilling others players.
Would like some help with that such as moderators or VAC implemented)

That's all I have for now,but I keep in adding more stuff as I play.

If you have some opinions,feel free to dicuss.

Thanks for looking!

good ideas!

What can we do to get the Developers attention on this?! Great ideas man!!!

Hopefully with mod support implemented a fair few of these things will become available through player made mods, would certainly switch up the gameplay a bit rather than it just being constant package running, so many players just spend like 3-4 hours running packages back and forth in the wastes.

Some pretty good stuff you got there!
Caderikor 18 Dec, 2015 @ 5:51am 
This is great!

+ to pretty much all of this (bar damage reduction and a couple of other things, I like to be scared that i'm going to die *shrug*)

The one I would suggest the most out of all of these is the increase of nether, the NPCs in the game imo pretty much what made it what it is... Example; similar games such as h1z1, dayz, infestation have slow enemies, easy to kill, no challenge... So the game becomes pretty much a PvP game... Now I love PvP but the enemies in nether make me think twice constantly... They port, they alert not only other nether that you are around but other near by players, they hit hard... It's fantastic but there needs to be more!
I love the 'horde' idea, add just a horde of nether that wander around the map... Think of how cool that would be! you're looking through a door way then you see it in the distance coming towards you... DAMN! gives me the chills.

Ok, enemies out of the way... Lets talk loot. Now don't get me wrong... I feel a game like this needs to have sparce loot... Makes you feel the preasure as you get more and more. But here's the problem... I've played a couple of days since I saw you were bringing it back and all I can find is penuts... I found a pistol once but that was soon put to end by someone miles away on a rooftop with a sniper and there lies the problem. It makes it hard to get started when everyone else but you (and a few others) are geard to the teeth. I'm not saying put loot everywere because then it's no fun... But you need to find a nice balance, maybe make some of the weaker guns easier to find so that you have the small chance of getting that one lucky shot off and defending your ass from John J. Rambo over there.

-OR-
Keep loot as it is and remove the global inventory/bank... That way if John J. Rambo is killed, he can't just return to a safe zone, grab a tone of weaponry and continue with his rampaging on players. Will also make players think twice about opening fire on another and may bring back the 'friendly' concept rather than shoot everyone on sight.

Binding boxes -Need- to be fixed... Too long have I been running up some stairs and got stuck at the top, too long I have tried to go through a door, got stuck and had to crouch... Tooo long I have simply been running and gotten stuck on.... Well... Nothing D: lol.

I know your working on bugs so I wont go into that here... But I have one little problem that really grinds my gears... I've noticed when holding the pistol (not sure if this is just on female characters) that if you are stood up, when you stop walking you character/camera acts as though you take another step forward... makes things very hard when peeking corners as your pretty much out the door when you stop walking XD.

Hyped you guys are back though! Love this game... Please just whatever you do...Listen to your players and save this game!

A ton of cool stuff in here. We're pretty focused on our to-dos, but these are a ton of fun and hopefully we can get to more cool stuff as time goes on.
Caderikor 19 Feb, 2016 @ 8:34am 
Good to hear you guys are still working on the game scare if fails again. Hope you guys release a huge update log!
