Suggestion: Alpha Volatile Redesign for DLTB

[inner void]

making the alpha volatile red and have a black body was a lazy and lethargic move it was basically DL2's tyrant all over again. therefor i was suggesting to redesign the alpha volatiles to have a blue exoskeleton like in dying light 1. including their razor sharp teeth. the resign works like this add the blue exoskeleton of the alpha volatiles from dying light 1 and add the closed chest area with only 2 bone protrusions from dying light the beast's volatiles.

[rose wraith]

I personally do like the design for the current Alpha Volatile, but I do think it would look cooler with an updated model too

[inner void]

true

imagine them in dying light 2!

[rose wraith]

Would be cool, but then again, if every cool thing was backported, then there wouldn't be much making both games have an identity

[inner void]

they would have an blue exoskeleton in the closed chest area

[rose wraith]

Ah, so like armour

[inner void]

i know that but still they need an updated design

for dying light 2 and the beast

[rose wraith]

True

They should definitely give the Tyrant a redesign. Bit too much glowing imo

[inner void]

true

[rose wraith]

But also have the infected of DL2 have their look, and The Beast have a different look, just to keep them unique

[inner void]

true

different thv strain i guess?

[rose wraith]

Villedor has Gen-Mod chemicals affecting them, Castor Woods has the unaltered strain

[inner void]

i see

still the alpha voltatiles need a freaking redesign because i hate they have a red glow to them

which doesn't suit them

at all

[rose wraith]

I think it's kinda necessary to an extent. Since they'll be constantly stalking you, you need to be able to kinda see them, especially since most of their bodies are charred. Regular Volatiles are pale, so they're easier to spot

[inner void]

ok?

i think a blue glow would be nice

still if thats the case i wish they can camouflage

like the octopus

[inner void]

or fuck it give them the ability to hide effectively

[forest delta]

This is really underwhelming

We need more of these posts so that Techland hears us

this design will not stay

[inner void]

100% true

[inner void]

still i liked the blue alpha volatiles better

[inner void]

i really do

[inner void]

maybe something like this:

[inner void]

nice still it would be better if it was blue tho...

[inner void]

nice

i was thinking more like this:

get what im saying

blue is better for alpha volatiles

[crystal summit]

So Techland doen't treat this Discord server as another source for reports of issues in the game?

[forest delta]

Slightly less

[crystal summit]

Hopefully they do in the near future because I believe Discord is the best place to get near instant and better feedback.

[forest delta]

True

[rose wraith]

The blue eyes don't really make me feel as scared though

Yeah, it's weird, but doesn't scream "Danger"

[rose wraith]

If you need to report an issue, you can contact Techland Support

And you can share your feedback on the update here #🎮︱game-news message

[forest delta]

Same

[inner void]

true that

[inner void]

still i like blue alpha volatiles it the blue colors fits them

[hollow ravine]

Yes!!!!!!!!!! Upvote!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo!!!!

[inner void]

@forest delta it’s better if the alpha volatile has blue glowing eyes and veins because it fits them

[hot glacier]

To be fair, Alpha Volatiles could very well look like Wraith- He has some sparky blue-ish green effects whenever he goes camouflage, so they could work around that

while the red makes it look aggresive, the green and blues would make them feel more ghostly, which imo fits better for a stalker volatile like the alpha one

[hot glacier]

He definitely needs to be a tad scarier looking, more unique

[inner void]

True

[wispy oasis]

Did someone make this or is this like AI?

The flecks all around make it look like AI

Anyway they could just take the Wraith design and make it red and black

[forest delta]

I used the DL1 Alpha Volatile picture and forced my enslaved ChatGPT to recolor it in DLTB's colors

[wispy oasis]

Disgusting.

The DLTB Alphas are slightly bigger than regular volatiles

[inner void]

i know that but it would be better if they had an updated design

[hot glacier]

Exactly this, my boy Wraith is literally perfect for this role 😭

Wraith literally appears in the game as a shadow drop boss, dies, gets mentioned once by Kyle and Olivia (literally one line of dialogue each), and nothing else about him

And knowing he seems to be a volatile that has been experimented upon to give it cloaking abilities... Like come on man, that's the perfect alpha volatile right there

[wispy oasis]

The Wraith's design is quite literally based on the DL1 Alpha volatile too

Which is funny

Because they never used the updated design for the actual Alpha volatile

[winged cliff]

I do hope they make it with the armor those blue beetle sharp teeth volatiles had in the first game. This volatile we currently have is okay but too basic!

[winged cliff]

I was about to say yeah lol

[winged cliff]

Oh, I didn’t see this particular image but this! Techland take notes! >:D

[vital thistle]

or maybe they should do more than just one new species of volatiles, more would be good too icl

[winged cliff]

Omgosh I should have scrolled up more but thiiiiiiisssss

[inner void]

Yeah not just camouflage

Like the wraith

[vital thistle]

u dont like this volatile?

[inner void]

No. I do but I think alpha volatiles need a redesign.

[hardy pivot]

They could make variants of the alpha. Like different variants that mutated differently with abilities that suit them

[pale slate]

make alpha volatiles look more like an evolved version and don't just limit it to one a night

[wispy oasis]

Nah. One a night is better imo

They literally know where you are at all times

[pale slate]

its supposed to be a challenge

[wispy oasis]

It would be literally impossible to do anything

You can't even loot

[pale slate]

yeah cuz you're supposed to run

[wispy oasis]

Dude... The game has to be playable

[pale slate]

chases are too easy brah

i outrun them everytime

even on nightmare

i want MORE alphas

[wispy oasis]

People are just gonna complain if you have the most intelligent enemy in the Dying Light series chasing you at all time

Chase would literally never end

One is enough

[pale slate]

i mean it would end if you run into a safe zone

[wispy oasis]

A major part of the Alpha's scare factor would be gone if there were multiple

It's scary because there's one and it hunts you

Which is scary because there's ONE so it means it's incredibly strong

Adding more Alphas at night would ruin Nightmare imo

The Alpha literally spots me the second I leave my safe zone

[pale slate]

we totally have different playthroughs

[forest delta]

agree

plenty of mf's chase you at night

but only this ONE BITCH hunts you

he's a menace

[inner void]

yeah

[wispy oasis]

nah

Except the part with the appearance

[inner void]

Dude they need to be more common

But still true with the appearance part

[pale slate]

yep

one mf is scary

a pack of alphas is gonna be pant shitting material

plus the way chases in DL2 and DLTB ends is different from DL1

if it was like DL1 then yeah one is fine

but in 2 and the beast they all just run away far from you until they despawn

except the alpha

so it's not gonna really be a problem dealing with only one

[inner void]

True

[wispy oasis]

Ehhhh not as scary

[inner void]

Fine 15 alpha’s?

[pale slate]

15 black men chasing you at night

🗣️

[inner void]

lol

[forest delta]

15 asian baddies chasing you at night

🤪

[inner void]

LOL

[hardy pivot]

Found a mod that does essentially this in the meantime. It's called "Wraith Alpha replaces Alpha Volatile"

(Not my image, I got it from the mod page)

[hot glacier]

definitely better than a recolored volatile

[pale slate]

this design + glowing red eyes, veins = alpha

🗣️

well maybe with skin cuz its not a chimera

honestly would make sense since the baron should've caught the better variant of the volatile to experiment

[inner void]

true

[inner void]

i think blue eyes, veins would be better

[pale slate]

nah gotta be different from the chimera

wild alphas are red because they're more aggressive

[inner void]

i know that but not to simular to the chimera

[inner void]

still i liked then alpha volatiles where blue

[pale slate]

I didn't like the blue honestly it'd better off just as skin

[pale slate]

I think it should be red cuz of the red gas and blue gas correlation to the game's lore

[inner void]

well i think it should be blue but not to simular to the chimera

well we have different ideologies now

[pale slate]

yeah

either way Wraith design should be alphas

current one IS MIDDDDDD

RAHHH

[inner void]

yeah i can see that

[inner void]

true that

[wispy oasis]

If they just changed the Alpha design to a black Wraith, then it would be fine

With less glowy stuff too

Just a shadow demon

Yeah honestly Alphas should look like a Wraith

As the Wraith is clearly an Alpha that got experimented on

[inner void]

true

100%

still i would love them like this:

[wispy oasis]

Made with a proper texture or AI?

[inner void]

first it was made by AI

then i used the paint.net recolor tool

[wispy oasis]

Cool

[shut sierra]

exactly

THIS is Alpha

[inner void]

100% true

[inner void]

i would've liked blue better

like blue glowing veins

[torpid cedar]

Is AI crap the only thing you can do?

[shut sierra]

What else should I do

it doesn't even look bad

[wispy oasis]

I was thinking that lol

[wispy oasis]

It doesn't matter how it looks

It's that it's gen AI

I'd rather you trace it ngl

[shut sierra]

I don't feel like that would be worth my time

nobody would care

[wispy oasis]

Fair

[inner void]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

not like that

i was thinking more like this:

[wispy oasis]

Shitty edit I made

To the Alpha image

I mean Wraith

This image

I think it would be fine if they just took the Wraith's model and took out the glowy vein things

And maybe took away the stuff sticking out

So the Wraith still looks unique

[shut sierra]

spikes?

They need to stay

[wispy oasis]

Man what the fuck I just thought about it and the Wraith is literally the Alpha

Same spikes and everything

So dumb that they didn't even use it

[shut sierra]

Thats what ive been saying

[inner void]

still i prefer this

[inner void]

tho i could repost this:

[lethal sinew]

here's a good option

[inner void]

true

but i like the blue one better because i though blue fits the alpha volatiles

[inner void]

yes i like the blue glow better

oh here is an idea

why not make them glow blue by default but when shining them with UV light they glow vermillion

[inner void]

still like the blue colored glow better

still why not make them glow blue by default but when shining them with UV light they glow vermillion?

[winged cliff]

That legitimately looks like the nighthunter oh wow lol

[inner void]

true

but i like the blue glow better

[wispy oasis]

Bro has said this 500 times already

[inner void]

i know that

[forest delta]

What would batman do

[inner void]

i have no idea

i guess die

[signal mantle]

That is just wrong, they never had blue eyes or veins, infact the dl1 version of alphas have orange/red eyes with deep red veins and blood splatters on them

[inner void]

ok?

but they had blue exoskeletons

[signal mantle]

Yes, the armour was a deeeep blue

Not electric blue

[inner void]

i see

[signal mantle]

And their eyes and veins retained the reds and oranges the classic vollies had

[inner void]

i see

[signal mantle]

I mean

The images you used in the post description even shows that

Honestly, make the classic alpha volatile design, beef it up a bit with a more menacing design overall, and make the white parts of it more of a light red/bloodstained, also give it better attacks than just the same 2 volatile attacks being a leap and a heavy right swing

[inner void]

i see

i like red and blue together anyway

i though blue fits the alphas

[signal mantle]

Blue DOES fit alphas, but not electric blue

If you look in the one you sent its a mix between a deep blue and a cyan (i dont know the name of the shade) with a hint of purple in there too

[inner void]

i see

[signal mantle]

Honestly i’d LOVE if we got an alpha volatile design based on some of the concept art drafted all the way back in 2014-2015

[inner void]

i see

still i would like an alpha volatile design is that is blue but its eyes are red

and also red and blue make purple

so some of its veins would be purple

[signal mantle]

Funny thing is, dl1’s have the red eyes and naturally ur blood vessels run blue and purple

[inner void]

i see

i wish blood became blue when deoxidized tho...

but my life was a lie

[signal mantle]

U like blue but ur entire profile is red…

[inner void]

well truth is

i love the color red

sorry for talking down on the red alpha volatile redesigns then

[signal mantle]

Oh dw

I dont LIKE the new design but I dont mind it

Kinda makes it feel like an anomaly instead of an evolved volatile

[inner void]

i see

[wispy oasis]

Alphas should literally just look like the Wraith

But without the invisibility stuff

And the weird veins

Considering the Wraith IS 100% supposed to be an Alpha

[inner void]

i see

[winged cliff]

That wraith model does look like it came from the model mesh of DL1’s Blue Beetle-Like Alpha. I miss the blue exo armor they had with the sharp teeth

[torpid cedar]

Would have been much cooler if he had been invisible like Wraith, then it would have been like Bloodsucker in the stalker games.

[shut sierra]

He'd need to be weak to uv light then

because that would be too op

[torpid cedar]

it is already weak against uv bars and flash grenades. here is the Stalker variant of wraith

[wispy oasis]

That would make the Wraith pointless then

Because Chimeras are supposed to be unique

[torpid cedar]

Not at all, after completing the "One Flew Over the Volatiles' Nest" quest, it could be unlocked and become Alpha Volatile. and in the trailer he is shown in the forest and not in the cave. And when we saw the picture, we thought it was a camouflaged roaming volatile in the open world

[tranquil spruce]

Maybe have it only appear on nightmare mode

[torpid cedar]

yes nightmare, it's nightmare Alpha volatile we're talking about

[shut sierra]

Easy - no alpha
normal - no alpha
hard - alpha volatile
nightmare - alpha volatile with cloaking abilities

[torpid cedar]

i like it

and in the picture it looks like he's in the open world looking for prey

[winged cliff]

Ahhh like in the trailer yes yes

[wispy oasis]

Techland loves false advertising

[tranquil spruce]

why does op like the blue so much

[inner void]

idk

[hardy pivot]

Yoo, someone made it

THIS is an alpha

[shut sierra]

DAMN BRO

[shut sierra]

i cant see shit

[shut sierra]

but yeah this is what we fucking wanted

its that fucking simple techland

[hardy pivot]

So there's 2 (technically three, but two of them do the same thing) mods that change the alpha volatile's appearance

the wraith volatile and this one

[shut sierra]

this one is the best

[shut sierra]

Peak

[abstract wing]

On restored land mode now more alpha volatiles are out in the night instead of 1 O_O

[inner void]

i see

[digital laurel]

Out of all the other alpha suggestions, this one looks the BEST imo. Is that a mod or something? I would love to have this in my game

[hardy pivot]

Yes, it's a mod. It's called Apex Volatile Revamp, made by Nelson01023. But fair warning, I think it's outdated. When I tried to use it, it made the alpha volatile invisible.

[digital laurel]

Alright thanks. I'll try if it works and I'll see

[wispy oasis]

Most beautiful thing I have ever seen

[inner void]

same

[hardy pivot]

Nevermind, it's not outdated. The issue was I was using Vortex mod loader and the Unleash the Mods mod to try to combine several mod .pak files together, but it wasn't installing it properly. You have to manually install it for it to work. Just make sure you change the data5.pak file to another name (like data3.pak for example) if you're using any other mods so they don't conflict with eachother

[digital laurel]

I have figured that out since I didn't use any loader. Still thanks for caring though, real cool mod, he looks menacing

[inner void]

true

[inner void]

still i love the blue xenoskeleton on the alpha volatiles

in dying light 1

[inner void]

also i wish the alpha volatiles were in dying light 2 :C

[wispy oasis]

Nah

Tyrants are fine

Their appearance and moveset is cooler than the DLTB Alpha

Tyrants have different animations to a regular volatile

But the DLTB Alpha is just the exact same but with different sounds and textures

[inner void]

i see

[wispy oasis]

I'd rather them add Tyrants to DLTB than whatever poorly done thing the Alpha is
