They should just quit babying people and go back to random spawns. :p

I do miss starting 3k (or more) away from a town or city. I know many folks don't like "walking simulators" but I think crossing a map on foot in the early game is a lot of fun.

One of those configurations that I LOVE is no POI at all in the map. Sure, it is lacking in a few items and quite a bit of gameplay, but an event system and more "outside quests" and  caves can make up for that and would definitely become an emergent gameplay wonderland while retaining that simple raw survival that I didn't know I liked so much. Also, random wandering traders can indeed make up for the static ones, in fact, they are better in terms of the " feeling of the unknown" to me. Bethesda games do that and I like not knowing what will it be today, a carrot or a sharp stick?

This sound like idea for medieval 7dtd or pioneer 7dtd

Do you really hate the POI designers so much?  :nono:

They, too, have families and kids, you know?  :dispirited:

Yes, though it they ever get implemented they would probably be a separate RWG option, along with the much anticipated "Roland : On/Off" option. Then, whenever we log in here there would be a NO ROLAND pop up, that we could just close and rol play with.

But, why does this change have to affect those of us who bought the game via Steam? Can it not be set to only affect those obtain 7 Days to Die via the Microsoft Store of Game Pass only?

You want the game to snoop around in parts of the machine that have nothing to do with the game to find out which store it was originally from? This might be easy to do if the game gets started from the store launcher, but what if a user starts it manually? What if a steam user installs the game and accidentally mimics an MS store install (same install dir) or had a MS store install previously (which might leave wrong hints in the registry) ?

And would that be better for modders? They would need to make two install guides with different steps for MS store installs and steam installs.

There are a lot of possible solutions and their advantages and disadvantages have to be considered carefully. In my opinion a general solution, no matter where you installed it from and how, seems preferable though.

Well, now you put it that way. It does seem better the way the The Fun Pimps did it.

Sorry if I overlooked this post, but how many alphas are planned until A21? And how many alphas are planned until the final release (if there is already a deadline for the release ... year)?
Click to expand...
seems an A20.5 is planned, not sure after that however The Pimps don’t seem to do many alphas post the stable one which currently is 20.4

There should be a Beta, but the labels don't really matter. A beta would just be a stable Axx relabeled to B1, then bug fixes for weeks/months and then is gold.

Well... i was thinking that beta  will be year/halve of year and just focused in this time on fixing things. So... this sound like gold will be in next year +-november O.o

You're going to need to show your work on that one.

They want to make bandits in 2 parts - usually there is 2 - 3 alpha per year --> so probably A21 will be in november in this year and A22 in may in 2023 so.... november sounds good because.... hallowen

It seems to me that I know the dates of all future alphas:
A21 - Done When It's Done
Beta - Done When It's Done
Gold - 202... Done When It's Done!  :)
