[2021] BW3 not enjoyable....

So thoughts on BW3, i wanted to test out electronics this time but after checking around 20 caves, big ones, small ones, in artic in woods i didnt found almost any gold to be able to craft even one so good for beta testing....

Second, Arctic biome doesnt feel natural at all, weather no problem, you just pack small shack into backpack and whip it out whenever weather event is coming, but boy there is a lot of wolves, like packs of 10 on every 20 steps of the way with bears respawning almost instantly when you look behind you and back front there is a new spawn, very realistic.....after fighting all the way to the mammoth i though it is bugged because i was dmging it for veeeeeery long time and nothing so i though maybe restart the game, went to check some video of guys killing it and it turned out it just has like bambilion hp, very solo friendly..... so after i killed it by some shady means because there simply isnt normal way to do it i couldnt skin in, it needs at least iron knife.... i by accident dropped my steel knife to the ground before fight and it bugged, was just lying on ground and wasnt able to pick it back up so thanks for this gigantic waste of time and frustrating unenjoyable experience hope you have a lot of testing data from it...whatever bs you was testing by this.....

Like respect to the devs and i like the game but if this continues next BW i will be thinking about refund.

We fixed some bugs with the animal spawning at the last minute, which resulted in us seeing the true operation - once our new "zoning" spawns came in.

Understand the frustration - but sadly this kind of lesson is what beta's like this is about. A key focus for BW4 is for us to take the new zone spawn mechanic, and add respawn exclusions on top of that, which will solve the issue of animals spawns.

While I understand the frustration I would say the team is working very hard and I think the BW demonstrates huge progress from the previous one.

Do remember games are made by real people, try to direct the frustration at the experience - not the people developing it. We play the game and experience the frustrations as well. We take those, and commit to making the game feel better.

We knew going into this these would happen, that's why we approached it with the very open refund policy. Remember you can refund the game now, and check it out later after the launch. I strongly recommend those who are experiencing frustration to do that, as the beta will continue to throw up these kind of issues as we experiment and change the game.

Edit: I said BW5 when I meant BW4 (next BW)
