  1. I remember this period, and I too recall complaining about it, and I also remember the responses from fanboys about how it isn't that bad, and it's fine, and nothing is broken.... Yet, I don't seem to be having this issue as frequently or to the degree it was when I had originally brought it up.... Guess it magically just fixed itself in a stealth patch....
  2. I am probably one of the most impatient people on the planet. I also like to treat each day like it's my last because you never know when you'll have a piano dropped on your head, or you'll be diagnosed with terminal cancer. Some people just don't have time to waste "waiting." In this instance instead of waiting for Hinterland to recharge their batteries to fix THIS particular game, I should be playing other games that are fun. I just didn't want to move on yet, because typically when I move on I never come back. So in the event I suddenly vanish it's probably because a piano was dropped on my head, I got terminal cancer, or I moved on to another game....
  3. Personally I probably would have waited until patching Wintermute was completed before declaring a month off for everyone. Fixing the mess would be the least that could be done before everyone gets to go into relax mode. We have been waiting over three weeks now for the flare cache to be patched. It was already patched once, but the patch didn't actually fix it. They had the same issue with the bear ear, the bear hide for repairing Jerimiah's coat, and the aurora not appearing for the dam quest. Those were all things that had to be patched multiple times, because the patches didn't even work.... It's pretty frustrating having to wait for patches, but I find it even more frustrating to wait for the same things to be patched multiple times.....
  4. I agree the new "appear as you go: blood trail mechanic mixed with poor animal pathing is fail. If they wanted to add the new blood trail mechanic, they should have fixed injured animal pathing beforehand. This was another poorly planned change on their part. I don't understand why they make constant little changes to everything....like this blood trail thing, and hiding the scent bars on the HUD, but they won't spend time actually improving things we want improved like being able to craft a hat. It's like they complain about not having enough time to program all our ideas, but they spend a tremendous amount of time reprogramming things that were fine in the first place.... How many times have they rebuilt the whole HUD/UI from scratch since the game started development? Look at all these new changes we made! Yeah, we didn't ask for any of those changes.....thanks anyways.... It's just poor use of programming time to constantly tweak things already in the game, instead of adding actual new ideas some people have been requesting for years now. How many more times are they going to change the HUD? Is it finished yet? To be honest they never even actually ever listed all the changes that occured with Wintermute. We have been figuring the changes out on our own for the last month. They never released a change log for Wintermute, and if you go check the Master Change Log thread under News and Updates for August 1st it says something like "too many changes to list them all." Which isn't particularly helpful.... Holy crap I complain A LOT. I really don't mean to complain so much, but it's clear a lot of things are frustrating me with the game. I just want to see more stuff added, like more clothes crafting, and moose, and revisiting cured hides not weighing less, and then lowering crafted clothing weights (because some of them are ridiculous and don't make sense like rabbit mittens). Those changes are much more important to me than hiding the scent bars after a few seconds, and changing blood drops....
  5. Is this still happening despite you sending the team on vacation @Raphael van Lierop? Some(many?) of us have have been waiting for the flare cache to be fixed for over three weeks now, so we can finish Episode 2. I was hoping you were going to send it out Sunday at 2AM like you seem to do, but that was several days ago and no dice....
  6. Awesome....I wonder if they are totally gone, or if you were expected to go back to where they started to make them all gradually appear over again.... They just stop sometimes for me too...I just back up and keep walking over them and turning around until they start going again.... I find the whole thing pretty tedious in general.... The only bit this helps with, is in places where animals criss-cross over their own tracks.....previously that part was very confusing and it could be hard to tell which way to go to continue the trail.... Now the trail only continues if you are following it the right way...
  7. At least it only happened once....and it was 20 years ago....lol! Even drunk, you probably would never forget the time you drank pee....
  8. Thanks for yet another confirmation of this new mechanic, Mike! I appreciate it!
  9. He also won't just accept the fact that they changed the way blood drops appear now since Wintermute and they didn't tell us because they never wrote a change log for Wintermute. I'm sure this was one of the "too many to list them all" changes.... So far every other person in the thread has agreed that the blood drops are now appearing a few at a time, and it's NOT just me... He thinks it's because of my graphics settings or my graphics card even though I have an Nvidia 980M with everything on maximum and all the sliders maxed out.... Did he ever come back and say...."oops my bad?" Well I have a list for that....
  10. If you have never accidentally consumed your own urine, then you have never been drunk in the basement and too lazy to go upstairs to use the bathroom. You would think the beer bottle being warm and not cold would have alerted me to my mistake before putting the bottle to my lips and taking a swig.... Drunkenness causes delayed reaction time.... At least it was MY urine.... Now the time my DAD accidentally drank MY urine....that's a story for another day....
  11. True....I was just mentioning basically the same exact thing happened to another group of devs, and they handled it a completely different way. They told the community what happened, and then said we would have to wait.....because expletive happens....
  12. That is basically what happened to the Battletech people too. I believe they were using Unity as well and in July the new Unity update caused them to basically have to rebuild they whole game from the ground up. Which took them an additional month as well, but they just pushed the release of the beta access back another month about one month before it should have been released.... And they were like, "Sorry the whole game just broke, see you in another month...."
  13. I hope you remain active in the forums @WanderingPalm, so far I haven't disagreed with anything you have said, lol.
  14. I typically avoid this by staying outside till the animal dies....I know you said a blizzard rolled in making that pretty much impossible....unless you lit a fire in a cave or something and then passed time.... When I mentioned rest/pass time, I meant after entering a building it's bad. Apparently entering a building causes the bug, and then most people rest or pass time once they enter the building, and then they come out and the animal is alive and well.... So it's best to try to rest or pass time outside to avoid the whole issue...or chop wood, repair clothes, etc....
