I just wait for it to charge and shoot it with the Flare gun about 1 second before impact, works about 9/10 times, and if I miss it still runs from the flare 

I also suspect with this popularity they will ‘pop up’ again 

Super happy with my Moose Coffee mugs, can’t wait!

Leeanda has (as far as I have seen) always been a positive presence here.

I have to agree, I don't post so much but I dip into the forums every other day or so for a read, and Leeanda is always a very positive presence.

More generally...

I don't know how many hours I have played (I wouldn't know how to check, but thousands I guess, but maybe not 5000!),  but whilst one can absolutely learn from people who have played a game a lot, you should always be open to other people, for whilst they may not have loads of game experience, they do have a different life experience, and sometimes that can be interesting.

is your lovely avatar from the British Library series of vintage ghost and weird tales?  They a brilliant books!

My main problem seems to be I am far more successful at fishing without using a lure or bait, my bait seems to work as a fish repellant!

Thanks for all these!

You being unwilling to look up the info on a public forum and saying it is bad communication is very much in the same vein as the people who call missing deadlines a scam. 

Yes, of course it is, exactly the same.

My point, which has been raised before on here by others , is that twitter often gets notes, updates and pictures, which are then shared by people on this forum so we can all see them.  I have never really used Twitter, but used to keep an eye out for a few people I followed, like Raph and Hinterland, but I don't use it anymore.

But I am chagrined, and will ensure I access Twitter to get the latest info, rather than the official forum from now on.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to the new region and updates!

I can see various comments on lack of comms, and someone called it a scam as it's not being delivered on time.

My only comment would be delivering something late is NOT a scam, it's just missing a deadline, unfortunate, yep, but so far off a scam as I can imagine.

I'm not sure where or what some people read about the gaming market, kickstater projects etc, but TLD has over delivered by about 5000% compared to many of these shady companies.

I always do say comms could be better, and Raph using X for his comments is a shame as it's now difficult to access without an account, and Musk is someone, who in good conscience, I cannot offer tacit support to as he has politicised his platform and promoted conspiracies.

BTW, I realise this is a personal decision and is about my choices, but either way, it's a frustrating place to get infromation from now, and of course people have the right to say and do what they want, just as I have the right to choose not to support them, so let's ignore that debate before it starts!
 

My whiteout best time has dropped from 1 day 7 hours to 2 days 14 … haven’t quite worked out the rifle drops now!

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Michelle Paver's Dark Matter is a terrific ghost story set in a world very similar to The Long Dark.. well worth a read or listen.

Sounds great! Congrats to you and the team, can’t wait! 

I have just posted on the main thread, but (to summarise) for me, reading a real post like Raph's rather than some PR garbage that many companies use these days was very very refreshing.

A longer timeline for delivery, oh well, hardly the end of the world.

Lastly, Hinterland should never be ashamed of charging for the expansion and continued development for TLD, it's a business, not a hobby and I'd rather a thriving, stable business able to support and grow TLD than it fade away..... people deserve to be paid for the great work they do.

Thanks for the post @Admin, slower delivery fine with me and I hope you and the team find a decent balance to get work out as well as enjoy your lives!

I am always somewhat confused as to some of the anger on here.  It's a superb game, and it was a one off purchase for us all, not a rental agreement, yet we still got more and more updates

Driving some revenue for your business is nothing to be ashamed of, I'd rather that than TLD fade away.  Please keep making content and charging for it, if people don't want the expansions, that is their choice, but I have no problem for you charging for it at all. 

Sadly gaming with it's failed kickstarters and other scams, is seen as representative of everything, and also some people seem to fail to understand that nothing is free, every coding change, every texture, every animation, mocap, voice, music has to be paid for, to keep the talented creatives able to have normal lives, this isn't a hobby. This is wider internet problem,paying for the music we listen too has descended to streaming, paying for journalism seems an anathema.. but I digress!

You delivered a great game, and have, year after year, added more depth and content, way beyond what I expected for my purchase price.

So the Tales will be slower, oh well, thanks for trying to be super efficient, thanks for trying to maximise the value you are giving us.

Most of all, thanks to you and the team for a great game, and thanks for being able to make the post you did and not filter it through the usual PR / non speak rubbish that companies use these days, saying sorry is increasingly a lost art.

You don't have much to say sorry for, but the intent I think is really well received by most of the people on here.

Ok.. it seems my controller decided to sort of break the same day I installed the patch…. I know, but the other controller … no problems!

Ok.. after todays update (ps4) we lost the ability to access our inventory, now upon starting the game where it says ‘press any button to continue’ we can get no further, no button presses work. The game is effectively completely broken.

it was fine before todays update

It's here !!! The regular update!!  16gb!!!!phew! That's going to be a long long wait in the morning!😭😭🤪🤪😁😁

Same here! 

Ok - not to be a downer… but whilst I’ve downloaded the add on… the actual game itself is unchanged, no new content and old save games valid, I suspect the actual update to the game itself, rather than the add on is not yet out 😞 maybe @Admincan confirm this,  but I’ve had no actual update to the main game after downloading the add on 

It’s in the UK…

Seriously good job, took me a week to do that. Very impressive.

Thank you 🙂 Much swearing was involved!

Co1ngrats. That's an impressive time.   

@Zaknafein just got the hall of fame for that with 23+ hours .

@Zaknafein runs are amazing, I always think we are not brutal enough, at the end of our runs Astrid is still 100% health, we have tried doing the butal speedrun, but we've spent so many hours looking after the characters, we just can't let her stagger around freezing, starving and tired!

What always lets us down is the hardwood, everything else we really do reptty well at!

I suspect we will end up doing the Whiteout again til it releases.. nearly reached sub 24hr…

Turned on ps4 for first time in couple of weeks, TLD updated… now says Trial Version in the corner?

Seems to run ok, not sure what it means?

I know I have triggered the achievement already, but I do agree, an up to date cartographer would be great to do, such a fun challenge.
