Feedback from a noob!

[MarkM]

8 hours in and having a blast. These are my thoughts and suggestions as I progress through the game.

Suggested Gameplay Improvements

A move key to toggle moving on/off, rather than having to keep W pressed all the time.

An option to auto pickup harvested items.

A 'look around' option via the right hand mouse button whilst moving forward.

Having the tab menu viewable whilst I'm eating/drinking.

Having the item filters (food, crafting items etc) viewable whilst transferring stuff to/from containers.

An option for some atmospheric music - anything other than the constant wind howling!

 

And that's it. I think for an Alpha this game is in a great position and can't wait to play more and hopefully make some more suggestions.

Hey Mark, welcome to the forums. 

Thanks for the feedback! In terms of the music, have you not heard any in-game yet?

And great to hear you are having a good time. 

Cheers,

Yes please!
@Patrick Carlson See, it's not just me who wants that feature

The game has these^ ones already, no?

I'll add my vote to these, though:

With every release note I am praying that there will finally be a move key toggle added, after an evening long session I can barely move my middlefinger anymore and after two years of TLD my finger has developed some strange muscles that weren't there before  

I'd go so far to say that this is my biggest wish for any future change in TLD.

I have that and a twitching finger on the right mouse button to go with it.
