Last Alpha, Perishton received a big update.  We have plans to update the map further on our way to the "Story" update mentioned on the roadmap.  Some of the new POIs will go into Navezgane for 1.0 but the bigger updates will come later.

Any plans on moving the traders closer to larger settlements within their biomes in Navezgane? Presently their locations are on the remote side and it makes Navezgane the most difficult map to play which might be a zinger for brand new players.

The introduction of additional traders wouldn't be unwelcome, either. :) I doubt that's going to happen now though at this stage in development and after the trader specialization updates.

Edit: In my opinion, after playing on Navezgane currently, it's just not designed for modern 7 Days To Die, especially for newer players - it's much more difficult to unlock magazines at a steady rate, you really feel the 60-minute time crunch when you're walking multiple clicks in-between locations, trader quests are often miles away or in the same general area over and over, many POI's (cough, T2 bookstore, cough) are never selected as quests in the first place. A complete redesign of the Navezgane map from the ground up would be nice, but again, 99% chance that's not going to happen.

If it's a server you favorited before, it stays. But you can't fave new ones. They removed that function in A20 for some reason.

What exactly are those stars in front of a server for?

Asking for someone, that appearantly has not used that existing functionality for years and now spreads incorrect information on a forum.

So some people have already hinted at it in this thread but in the alpha 22 console demo there is a rare item you can find, and it is a crafting component for quality 6/legendary items.(it was in the items description what it was used for) so I don't know if quality 6 item/legendary items will be ready for 1.0(it would make sense though since I could see it all as part of the new armor system update)

I am excited for quality 6/legendary item crafting to come to the game though, and I think alot of others will be too because I know people on the forums have always asked about Q6 crafting or the possibility of legendary items since they exist in mods like Undead Legacy

Mixed emotions about this (but that is just because I modded Q6 crafting in my game so now I don't have to anymore  😁 ). The thing I am most interested in is how they address Q6 items in loot and traders.  Assuming those drop rates are either significantly nerfed or removed altogether.  I love this mechanic, but if it is still easy to obtain Q6 gear from loot or traders, making the part you need to craft these items as rare diminishes crafting them

Those are what I used to add servers to my favorites list. That is why I wasn't sure what Old Crow was referring to.

Those are servers that I have favorited recently and they have stayed.

I think the only time they disappear for me is if I start up a different version of game I have on computer and go to favorites.

Am thinking all the games I have set up use the same folders for some of the options, like generated worlds etc.

But other than that I thought favorites worked fine.

Yes, they work absolutely fine. That has never been removed for "some reason". The question was rhetorical  :)

Given that Q6 of tier 3 items are at best a minimal step up at this point (and sometimes worse...though they may have changed this?  I haven't paid much attention) unless they do something to make Q6 items more worthwhile, it seems a strange mechanic to me.

Wait, those do still work? I kept seeing posts after A20 that said they no longer worked.

 
I wonder if they plan on adding a larger selection of letters and numbers in various sizes?  Some lowercase letters would be a nice change, as well as some Zombie Deer.

 
Navezgane is a walking simulator. It has aged badly even when compared with PREGEN let alone modern RWG. The problem are Jen, Joel and Bob locations and the east side of the map having no traders. Jen new location is awful, she's literaly in the middle of the map, closer to Bob and Joel than she's of Diersville. same with Bob, he's closer to Jen and Joel than he is of Departure. WTF!. POIs are completely separated off from Joel, which sends you mostly to the annoying as all hell burnt forest where Jen is at 800m away on foot, the burnt forest is honestly annoying as all hell and shouldn't be most of the early game experience. F that place.

I think they make more sense along a road distant from a settlement. Why would survivors build next to a big pile of zombies?

I can't deny the Trader being beside, or in, a settlement is convenient for the player and doing missions.

That reminds me.... we need bigger gore piles please!

 
I'm so hyped after watching 7dtd V1 trailer

But I got a few questions about the new cop spit 

1) Will the cop spit go through blocks ?

2) will the cop spit cause the explosives in player hands to explode ? 

 
They don’t necessarily have to edit trader locations in Navezgane. What they should do,imo, is disable Navezgane until the story is ready. Keep it secret while they update it and add the story elements. In the meantime they should designate the 6k Pregen map as Beginner World so new players can have an easier world they can load up right away.

I like it cuz A! I like building deep into the woods and B! 

It reminds me of a frontier trading post being deeper in the woods
