For the PS4 (Playstation 4) version of the game
Hello!!! I just bought the game today and I'm already running into issues which make it very hard, if not impossible to play at times. These problems mainly occur when I'm playing with other players locally, however there are some single player problems as well.
- When playing locally with other players, it's possible for the other players to spawn multiple times somehow when outside at the base. This leads to confusion since these other spawns do not disappear and can be controlled as well. When numerous spawns are on play, it can cause huge lag.
- Apparently when 1P (Player One) pauses the game when playing with other players locally, one of the other players has control of the menu. This is very frustrating, as I want to be able to control the menu when I press the pause button. This only seems to happen when I'm outside/not in a dungeon.
- It appears as if the aforementioned problems happen when the *displayed controls* for local players change from the remote controls to the keyboard controls (hope that helps). Besides some confusion, this really doesn't do much.
- When a local player joins/spawns, his/her character display won't show up like it does for P1.
- When moving between dungeon rooms, a local player will be left behind when P1 moves to a new dungeon room. This can rather annoying since you have to clear out any enemies in the room before you can then go back to the room which the local players were stuck in. A temporary fix for this is to have all local players move into the room which P1 is going to go in, before P1 does. However I do not want to have to resort to this everytime I play with other people.
- When a local player moves towards a soup bucket and presses the "EAT" button, it can cause them to be removed from the game/despawned.
- (Not a bug) When a local player dies, I have to go all the way back to the spawn in order for them to be able to respawn. Although this may not be a bug, I believe it'd be better if the player would respawn once/if the room gets cleared. Maybe I'm sounding a little lazy but I think this is a necessity.
- Black Map/Screen of Death: When P1 dies outside, sometimes the map becomes black. During this, most game functions become unavailable
- Referring to issue #2, when local players request to summon a weapon or vehicle outside, the witch always appears at the base regardless of where the player summoned the weapon or vehicle. However no vehicle or weapon gets spawned either. This is very annoying since I want my friends to be able to equip the weapons I've purchased with actual money.
- Local players cannot get in vehicles. (How do I get survivors in my vehicle?)
- Some of the dungeon rooms allow for a player to get stuck/become immobile. This occurs when no/insufficient room is given when a player enters a dungeon room and is by an unbreakable object/structure. They get stuck between this object and the boundary/border that is placed to prevent a player from leaving the room until all zombies are killed.
- No jump button? The lake just below the outside base often causes a player to get stuck. It can be difficult to access the stairs for some reason, but I think a jump button would fix that. If there is one, please ignore this.
- Very Poor Customization: Not sure if this is a bug, but I strongly dislike the lack of customization I'm given for my base. Games like these should have stuff like decor (decorations), unlock/upgrade menu/tree. And just a better UI in general. I'm also wondering how I can change the weapons for my towers? I've purchased an AK-47 and I'd love to be able to equip them with it. Also placing stuff normally grown in bunches, like Corn and trees, one at a time gets very repetitive and annoying. Give us the option to place em 5x5 or 10x10. Once again, I know those probably aren't bugs, but I still feel like that stuff is "bugging" me.
- Music? Seems like after 30-40 secs the music went silent.
- Sometimes I'm unable to edit/upgrade my base.
That's it for now. I know this is just an indie title, but seeing as how it was good enough to be put on PSN, I do have some expectations. I've spent money on the game and have bought a variety of items. I want to see how far the game I've supported goes. I think it's pretty alright, just need a plenty of screws to be-tightened before it's outta sight.
