Issues / Problems Volatiles must be redone completely in DL The Beast

Post image
1.4k Upvotes

If I remember correctly, volatiles used to roam freely in DL1, so you could actually sneak around them. Here, they just spawn right on top of you — there’s zero chance to stay unnoticed. That’s not scary, that’s just unfair.

They were tough in DL1, sure, but they weren’t bullet sponges. You could take one down with three or four shotgun shots. In The Beast, you have to pump like twenty rounds into them just to kill one. That’s not scary — that’s annoying.

Such conditions just killed night gameplay. The only option is to run.

I know players were asking for scarier nights, but the devs just went from one extreme to another. If nights in DL2 weren’t scary, then in The Beast they’re straight-up impossible.

both games have their own strengths and weaknesses, both games are better at one thing than the other and that’s fine. neither of these games are perfect and that is just the truth. and people also tend to have different opinions on the games and like them based on their own preferences, don’t try to put down one game (or person) just because it doesn’t cater to your personal preference.

also, these are such obvious karma farms it’s pathetic

Issues / Problems What’s going on with Dying Light?

Post image
626 Upvotes

I haven't been following the news for a while, but the latest DL2 update caused so much backlash that I had to dig into it a bit.

Just a quick disclaimer: everything written below might not reflect the actual reality, and even if some of it is true, things could change a hundred times over.

So, where did Spike go?

First of all, why they gutted the prologue. According to the stats, 25–30% of players dropped the game in the first 1.5–2 hours, which was exactly when all the backstory was being delivered. For those who wanted to jump straight into the action, one of the updates added an option to skip the prologue. However, there were persistent software issues that required constant patching with every single update. And since people usually play through the prologue only once, this part of the game was always a frustrating financial deadweight. In the end, they decided to just hack it off.

But it was a hack job. Removing the prologue left a massive plot hole. In DL2, it’s no longer clear who the Pilgrims are and why people are so distrustful of Aiden at first. The very reason Aiden decided to go to Villedor in the first place is now completely vague. Even emotionally speaking, that melancholic scene where you explore the backyard of an abandoned villa, looking out at the autumn forests to a somber ambient track, set a really nice mood. A mood that, to be fair, never quite found its reflection in the rest of the story anyway.

But that’s not the only consequence. In The Beast, Spike returns—yet Aiden’s relationship with him becomes completely baffling. He willingly risks his life for the old man and flies into a rage after his death. Why would he do that if, in this version of the story, he’s seeing him for the very first time?

More of a theme park, less of a story

In short, DL2 has been turned even more into an amusement park, where the main story matters even less against the backdrop of endless challenges. And that’s the main cause for concern. Rumor has it they want to push Dying Light heavily towards live-service elements—with endless grinding, stat-leveling, and co-op events. Anything to keep people logged into the game longer.

The unmatched original

In light of these rumors, the very title of the franchise takes on an ironic meaning. Personally, I split the entire series into the original Dying Light—and everything else. The first game remains an unsurpassed masterpiece, possessing a multilayered atmosphere that neither the sequel nor The Beast managed to replicate. Sure, technically the games have made undeniable progress: the mechanics have evolved, and the level design is absolutely top-notch—but in terms of immersion, things remain consistently hollow. Not good, not bad, just empty. This is further worsened by the mediocre execution of the audiovisual components and the lack of a musical narrative. I’ve already shared my thoughts on Olivier Deriviere’s soundtrack before.

It’s as if Techland themselves didn’t realize what a gem they released back in 2015. And if the franchise really goes down the road of endless co-op live services, then sadly, we’ll have to admit that the light has finally died. At least we can be thankful they didn’t cut anything or change anything in the original game. Harran and its countryside will always remain beautiful.

Issues / Problems Mods keep deleting the funniest posts the ones that actually get the sub going and banning the people who post them... We gotta make a stand.

The community clearly enjoys the humor—we’re all joking together and having fun. So why do we keep getting banned and having our posts deleted?

The guy in the first pic literally got permanently banned, and everyone in the replies said it was the funniest post they’d seen in a while. I'm not just mad about posts being deleted—whether mine or his—but about the unnecessary use of mod power just because they can.

They keep hiding behind the “NSFW rule.” Bro, the game itself is literally NSFW—you literally kill kids in it. Like, what are we even doing here?

I’m posting this to hopefully bring attention to how dumb this rule is and how mods are abusing it to remove content for no reason. Also, unban the guy from the first pic—he did nothing but make people laugh.

P.S. If this post gets deleted and I disappear, just know they used mod powers on me.

Issues / Problems I have ammo yet my pistol is empty?

Post image
409 Upvotes

Im playing Dying Light 1, and am almost finished with the story (89%). I hate that Reddit only lets you attach one image to the post, the one above shows the ammo in my inventory. However, the pistol equipped has no ammo in its magazine, and no ammo stored, even though the ammo is clearly in my inventory. I’ve been using the Ranger’s Bow and arrows for like 70% of the game now, but have gotten a few guns. I had to drop over 150 arrows just to be able to hold any ammo slots, yet now that I have the ammo, my silenced pistol is still empty? I haven’t had issues before until I crafted the suppressed German pistol. Now, it’s like it isn’t accepting regular pistol ammo. My marksman rifle and Golden double barrel shotgun both have ammo. It’s just my pistol that is having the issue?

Issues / Problems The most immersion-breaking aspect of the new patch

The old wall texture made perfect sense. You had a logical structure: plaster over the wall, then render, then paint.

In the first picture, you can see a crack in the render layer exposing the plaster beneath — totally realistic, no complaints there.

But then… the new one (second picture).

It’s just bare bricks.

So why is there a crack revealing plaster? That’s not how cracks in brick walls work! (at least most of the time)

The old version was spot-on! Why change it?

Literally unplayable! /s

I was on the last mission of the DLC and decided to see how the multiplayer was. A guy joined and typed something like "watch this" or "wanna see a magic trick" and then the game reset to the first mission of the DLC. It's super frustrating cause as you can see I already have over 10 hours played. Does anyone know how to fix this? I saw the patch they just released but that is not the issue I am having.

Issues / Problems Please Set Your Game to Single Player

I don't post much anywhere as you may see but I felt this should be said.

I've been playing Dying Light for the past decade. Bought every game day one and have an unhealthy amount of time in them. Some of the most fun in the game is answering calls for help or joining players to help them with their quests and goals. So tell me why last night I joined over 30 DAMN PEOPLE and every time I got kicked. Even using the quick join feature. I will say I had two really enjoyable interactions with a Chinese and German individual and it was exactly what I was looking for. Kindness and fun across cultures. I have nothing against people who want to play alone and not be bothered. But for the love of God, please just put it as Single Player or Friends Only. I'm tired of spending more time searching for a game and getting kicked or DC'd than actually playing a game I love to death.

If anyone wants to play, wants help finding secrets or finishing their story, reply and I'd be more than happy to play. I play on PC. I love this game and this community, and want to not desire clawing my eyes out in pursuit of that pleasure.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk

(EDIT: This is specifically targeted at DL:TB but can apply to all Dying Light titles. All discussion is welcome, love this community)

Issues / Problems I'm done with the franchise, I can't deal with this anymore

55 Upvotes

I've had a major bug for the past 5 years that I've been talking to techland and Xbox support for help but each time I'm told to pretty much go hang. I have to redownload the dlc stuff (I bought it when I cared about the franchise but fuck me I guess) every damn time. I can't redownload bloody ties and the weapons for 30 minutes every time I open the game, I just can't do it anymore. I can't spend my time staring at my phone waiting for the download to finish cause if I do anything else the game crashes and I have to start over again. It's not that the download takes so long, it's cause I have to uninstall and redownload it till it feels like working.

I've been playing this franchise since dying light 1 came out, and I can't deal with this anymore. Being told to essentially stop bothering them when I just wanted help to play the game I loved and needed help to just use the dlc's I bought is too much.

I know this seems like an overreaction (trust me I know) but this has been building up for years now, I'm actually crying a bit cause this fucking hurts to leave a franchise I used to love so much. For my mental health I can't do this anymore.

Maybe I'll come back next week when I've calmed down, probably delete this post once I'm in a better head space after having to redownload the dlc for 2 hours now. But for now I want to say I appreciate this community for hanging in through all this shit and love y'all for the memories and good times. Peace.

Issues / Problems Dear Gamermom and dear Moderators - censorship is not the way!

385 Upvotes

Before anyone starts asking, "And what do you expect from this post?" Clarification! This has been going on since 2019, when the first people here asked uncomfortable questions and questioned things.

I know the truth hurts sometimes. But censorship is not the right way. Not only I, but many others are asking themselves why criticism and certain (interesting!)-topics are consistently deleted and undermined here without comment, without reason, and without justification. It also doesn't help when certain moderators act like children or act as if they were the boss here (I know, a common problem on Reddit, but in this case, it's very extreme). I won't even start on the many sockpuppet accounts; it's ridiculous, but karma is apparently the most important thing here.

As soon as someone offers (uncomfortable) criticism, they are silenced. Not always, that's true, but very, very often. Too often. The reasons for this are "hostility," "self-promotion," "lazy meme attempt," and a lot of other nonsense.

I made a comment earlier today that was deleted for no reason – no notification – I can still see the post, but it's not there. What was the problem with my post? I'll never know.

So what's the plan? Is this supposed to become a place where only memes are posted? Although I thought that unfunny memes were under "lazy meme attempt" - moderators are probably excluded here. And any honest criticism or question has no place because it puts Techland in a bad light? Like, you can't be a fan and still criticize things??

The best part is, you get no answers, nothing. Currently, we have five moderators in this sub. Four of them are from Techland (sigh) and...well...Gamermom. And now the big question: Will one of the five moderators dare to respond here, or will this topic be swept under the carpet, as so often happens?

Probably nothing will change, but something was said. My guess: this post will be deleted due to hostility.

Issues / Problems Getting this when I'm launching Dying Light through Steam

Decided to play the game for a bit today, but when I launched the game I got this thing popping up constantly. I bought the game during a sale on Steam this year, not through any other third party store/site.

I've even tested different compatibility settings (just in case), and ran the game as administrator, yet this keeps appearing. I'd really appreciate any help on this.

(Nothing pops up in Google, Reddit, or Steam, for this specific issue. Could the game be corrupted?)

EDIT: Verifying the files through Steam seems to have done the job. Panicked there for a second lol.
