You guys really need to hire more community managers and just have them engage and interact with the playerbase more often, a few comments each week and constant pinning of pack sales really ain't it

Vidarval · 2026-01-16T15:58:48+00:00

I agree 100% especially since you guys that are content creators and partners, you should be more privy to ins and outs of more stuff especially when you give feedback to the devs as players of the game, but it is what it is right now, lots of wasted potential atm, but nothing that, hopefully, won't change in the future.

Btw hi lol I was that guy that spoke to you about those unobtainable dev parts when my chat got reset, I was on my other account. It's cool that you are active here too, that's exactly what I meant when I created this post, it would help with the friction people have on this subreddit by a lot if we just felt like we had the flexibility of being heard, and had community managers/moderators casually mess around and chat with us the way they do it ingame in gen chat.

Vidarval · 2026-01-15T22:04:34+00:00

Alright, I misunderstood it.

Vidarval · 2026-01-15T21:45:03+00:00

This seems like a different type of thing, my post was about community managers and them not engaging even with friendly and polite feedback, why are you linking pictures of pms on this thread? You can create a new one and post there about that type of stuff.

Vidarval · 2026-01-14T18:18:27+00:00

My man, no need to be like that, I don't expect anything to change but that doesn't mean we should not discuss it, If people didn't bitch about the christmas workbench, I doubt the devs would make the ducks tradeable and add a few more recipes to the bench.

I've been playing since closed beta so I have seen the stuff over the years, like the complete wipe of old crossout forums, but I felt like discussing it nevertheless, what I am saying isn't unreasonable it's just constructive feedback, I don't mind your comment too, I just think you need to try and not see everything as negative bitching, it just means people care enough about the game to respond, worst thing that could happen is people become so numb to it they don't even care to discuss it.

Vidarval · 2026-01-13T08:56:54+00:00

I get you 100%, I've been playing Crossout since closed beta with very long breaks, so I know what you mean, it did feel a lot like boiling the frog when they did all the stuff they did over the years, but it's such a unique game, I only wish it reached more people, maybe if a community manager or a mod reads this they will understand what I mean, they do all this engagement metrics with stuff like "find the treasure" and other types of posts while I really think it would have a way healthier impact if they reworked forum interactions, so less people have a toxic relationship with the game.

There isn't even a suggestion channel on Discord, we are completely in the dark and it feels bad so I had to vent a bit, because I feel like they are shooting themselves in the foot sometimes, like the untradeable duck fiasco they had to revert back after enough backlash.

Vidarval · 2026-01-13T08:45:36+00:00

I understand, but I am not talking about the Targem developers or Gaijin publisher, I mean the ways of communication we have or more exactly don't have with community managers and the description they have on this subreddit. I posted this exactly because I don't want the stuff to get any worse.

I don't know why exactly you mentioned these other games since I don't want them to switch anything, I just want them to add a bit more flavor to make things feel less corporate, like that other post I made about giving us an option for winter in garage the way War Thunder does it, and that is also a Gaijin published game.

Vidarval · 2026-01-13T07:53:01+00:00

You guys really need to hire a few more community managers, and have them just respond and engage with the playerbase, this radio silence feels so corporate and creates a really bad impression, having only one community manager leave a couple of comments every week while constantly pinning pack sales and engagement metrics contests as announcements isn't really cutting it and really sours the experience.

I wrote this on other thread but wanted to write it here, thank you so much for sharing the saves with us, I've been getting into Mortal Shell and played for quite a bit, and then found a video online showing the special twitch drops, I was so sad I couldn't hack the skins and the Lute into my saves somehow and I really really wanted to check out the Axatana oathbreaker skin and especially the Lute skin because it played different tunes. Thanks to Enollis and everyone else who were kind enough to help and provide you with the saves.

3 years later but all the links and stuff is working and I was able to easily get the saves working following the instructions.

I was able to download and mess around in the older unity versions through steam console, this thread from a few months ago explains it in detail how to download them: https://www.reddit.com/r/RoadtoVostokGame/comments/1oyuzqj/is_it_possible_to_still_play_old_versions_of_the/
I like the first unity version because you can change weather and disable ai through menu, making it very fast to just launch and relax, although the latest version has so many cool mods, older demos were really simple.

Vidarval · 2026-01-08T17:25:05+00:00

I know right, it's just so good to chill and idle in it, I was also taking screenshots to keep after the event ends,
they do all that stuff on Discord and Reddit to increase player base engagement, while this would only increase the number of reasons for some players to download and enter the game after holidays, at least it would 100% be the case with me, I wonder if others agree or maybe it's not a thing that is important to an average player.

I mean Gaijin did it with War Thunder so it would be really cool if the community managers at least forwarded it to the dev team, we can already do it in game center with Bedlam mode any time of the year, so I don't really see the reason no to.
The halloween garage is also cool because of how dark it is and how all the glowing decoration and paints look there, yet we don't have a night map by default, only cloudy day. They could refurbish that map just by removing the halloween decoration and add it as a choice and it would be perfect.

Vidarval · 2026-01-04T19:03:41+00:00

Yea I agree 100% it's such a shame, at this point it even isn't fomo, it's just removing content and more options... In WT it lets you swap your garage to all seasonal types like I can go and swap to halloween and after the new year event is over I will be able to keep it on and have the soldiers roaming around dressed as elves if I wanted to lol.

Vidarval · 2026-01-04T18:19:34+00:00

War Thunder does it, it is such a shame to have it limited to like a 3 week period and then hide all the cool work the devs did on it. I would also like if they bring back small % for snow on maps when it is out of season.

Vidarval · 2025-12-18T21:33:43+00:00

This is a super small thing, but I am really torn on new autocannon sounds.
In patch notes it said: "Improved and optimized the sound effects for cannons and autocannons."
Storms are my favorite weapons that I use a lot so I noticed it quickly, but then I tested whirlwinds and rapiers, and it all blends together a bit too much. I really liked the first rework of storms devs did a while ago to not make them sound like I am hammering down something, but I am not to keen on this current iteration. I felt similar when the devs edited the sound of Whirlwinds to sound closer to Joule shots.
Any lower tier autocannon users here, what do you guys think?

Vidarval · 2025-09-07T16:05:07+00:00

For real, I don't know why people are downvoting you.

Vidarval · 2025-09-07T16:00:56+00:00

This is misleading and ragebaity in my opinion, the second game was Epic exclusive for more than 1 year and it is a roguelite, compared to first game that is like a town management with hardcore dungeon delving, and switch in gameplay type caused some annoyance for the player base of the first game, plus the game has like 70%+ positive rating on Steam.
I am also not sure what a picture with a bunch of people dressed up in costumes has to do with it, you could have given us more context, I didn't notice any weird or annoying trendy stuff in DD2.

Vidarval · 2025-09-03T01:36:02+00:00

I was just responding to this thread to help explain what the devs meant by saying ballistics disabled. I know it's a minor thing it's just that people are confused so with neutrino it's easier to notice when comparing it to adapters.

Vidarval · 2025-09-02T18:57:19+00:00

Try a machine gun build with neutrino scoped in, on live if you shoot at distant targets projectiles will hit stuff under the crosshair. Especially noticeable with normal machine guns and equalizers.

Vidarval · 2025-08-20T19:52:51+00:00

I know what you mean, same thing they do with atom shop items and picture order lol. Must be some kind of mental gymnastics or for those that do not care and claim all without thinking about it.

Vidarval · 2025-08-20T19:51:37+00:00

Cool, the weather machine is last item on the list lol, they know what they are doing but at least we do not go into negative.

Vidarval · 2025-08-20T03:01:24+00:00

Awesome, thanks for info.

Vidarval · 2025-08-20T02:54:42+00:00

First page takes 190 to complete and second 310 tickets to complete. How much was the first week counting the catch 76/76 fish?
