Finally! I'm so excited about the A21 Dev Stream!

I hope they show as much as possible about all the new features!

One suggestion @madmole and @Prime if I may: try to write down a guideline for what you'll say and be concise and as much thorough as possible with what you show. People have waited a long time, and my guess is the Dev Stream will be "dissected" by many YouTubers and players!

They'll be watching (not only literally) your every move and weigh every word you say!  :spy:

hopefully Rick’s talking points will all end with

…and don’t say a specific release date!!!!

 
Even though I can only play on console i still love to see how the PC version will turn out because then i will know what the future console version will look like. I'm so excited for the Alpha 21 Dev Stream and can't wait. 

 
It's been a while since I've heard this mentioned, and I was hoping to get an update on this- Many months ago, heck, maybe a year at this point, I remember talk of adding quality levels to much more stuff. To give an example- Cooking pots/cooking grills, beakers, crucible, things like that. I don't see anything on the first page, so I imagine it's not in for this alpha, but I was curious if all that is still part of the plan, or if that's one of those things that's best forgotten.

... I also remember when we were getting our first taste of jiggle tech on the zombies and there was mention that with it, it might be possible to place a 'sticker' on one of the base zombie models that may, for example, put an ugly mark on their face- but in like, 90% of cases, it remains invisible, so only sometimes they'll have this or that identifying feature. [My bad if this was completely misunderstood and is impossible- I'm strictly a consumer, not a creator, and I don't know the limitations you all must work within.]
  -Should we assume this possibility is now resting in piece? .. A little more zombie variance will go a long way in making the game look complete. [Pleading!]

Thanks for taking the time to review these questions, I'm totally stoked for A21.

 
Also, since many questions are gonna be asked in the next streams.. I remember the waterfall of text in Twitch chat, that made The Pimps unable to read some questions properly, so would there be some sort of separate thread here in the forum, where we can ask and they answer properly ?

Roland used to have a Q/A thread that a question list was derived from for the stream, but I dunno what CC will do.

As my memory is total crap and last dev stream was long ago in a galaxy far, far away I want to ask.

Are they going to have Twitch Integration on from the get go?

Are we looking at another 3 months between dev streams starting and Exp releasing like A20?

If it's like A20, then it will be about a month after the dev stream before fans get their hands on it.

Edit: Wait dev stream in Nov and released in Dec, or am I getting old?

The first A20 dev stream was Sep 11 and the experimental was released on Dec 6.  I asked Faatal a few months ago about the expected timing for A21 and at that time he said he expects the timeframe from first dev stream to experimental to be shorter but didn't elaborate as to how much shorter.  And maybe things have changed since then. Here's to hoping they give some vague timeframe for experimental during the first dev stream.

please start these streams on time, bugs the crap out of me when they start late. If you say it begins at 9PM, it needs to begin at 9PM. Test the streaming stuff out earlier to ensure it all works. Respect your fans by being on time.

thank you

...and now you wasted your shot with your premature demand.

Dammit, some people just don't have a sense for correct timing.

😄

 
I take it the armor overhaul or however it's framed that showcased a bunch of different armor/outfit sets in that first set of A21 dev streams way back when (almost 2 years ago now) is on the back burner for now?  Given the wording of the OP, sounds like we're getting updated art for the iron and military sets for A21.

Have to say I wasn't a fan of some of the concepts (namely the int armor set) but some of them were pretty good (the maurader or w/e set that had a big barter bonus as a final set bonus).  Fan of the whole set bonus idea altho keeping the sets "balanced" could be a fun endeavor (the magazine sets send their regards).

Need a much better release date than just saying 2023, since we waited over a year already.  I am waiting to finish my mods so I can play with my family and friends.  But waiting until the patch.  Are you talking 2-4 months or 5-8 months?
