For starters, this weekend's playthrough was a totally different experience than the OTT (both times); different in a great way! Wonderful experience!
Here are some things I noticed and a few constructive comments about the game:
FYI, this experience was conducted on Xbox One.
Bug Report:
- UI for the Ammo / Items (bottom left corner) during in-game play glitched with interaction of vehicles and enabled vehicle and solider buttons at the same time. (Review your UI Layers/Panels)
- When using ladders, there are buildings where the ladders have difficulty being used and glitch the player through the building. It appears that the mounting and dismounting animations / collisions are not setup appropriately when climbing on a ladder.
- UI for the Dismantling for Gear (ie: Shoes, Hats, Clothes, & Armour) - not weapons; are rendering the gear separately and not updating the quantities. The gear items are exceeding the UI boundary.
- Sound: Initially, the in-game SFX was just fine. As I progressed deeper in the game, I noticed that the sound seemed to be distant or have a sensation of echo. It's like the Audio Listener position was changed and made the in-game sound seem off like you were becoming deafened.
- When using the Motorcycle, I was driving and didn't collide into anything and the bike disappeared and the character did the animation or failing off of the bike. Vehicle Physics for the motorcycle may need to be looked over some more.
Game Feedback:
- When rating a quest / Faction Mission, I suggest you disable the "Jump" / "Climb Over" action to help players avoid falling from high elevations in combat.
- When using BIUOVACS in matchmaking, allow the player more time to use the options such as crafting. If in the event where a player is AFK / AFC, turn on a timer to countdown to "Break Camp" if there is inactivity in that state of the game.
- When using vehicles (4-door land vehicles and helicopters), enlarge/adjust the collider for the "Drive" slot. I noticed that I will always jump in the Back Seat Driver side a lot when I meant to drive the vehicle and I will be standing at the front left of the vehicle.
- Add a tutorial about Dismantling / Upgrading Gear & Weapons.
- Add a tutorial or tip about using the Water Canteen. I remember that it has to do with endurance from OTT, I just can't seem to locate or figure out how to drink water in the controller scheme / options.
I hope all of this feedback helps with the development of the game. I am really excited to play this game when it releases! Thank you!
