PC V3.0 Dead Hot Summer Dev Diary

[Grandpa Minion]

Could be…but Behavior had zero involvement with 3.0 and so far I’ve seen zero involvement with 4.0 development.

It is not atypical for bE to have demonstrated little influence prior to 3.0, as basic principles indicate that common courtesy would delineate the line for 3.0 to serve as the foundation before they begin to exert their influence.

It would have been a fundamental courtesy to avoid transgressing boundaries;
After 3.0 stable, we can all expect them to start asserting their PvP influence on 7d2d, which I find quite enticing.

10+ years of no pvp support, disappointment being a factor left years ago.

This should probably go to Pimp Dreams, but now that we can claim traders, will TFP please change the hit points on trader compound walls to something reasonable? 200 is way too low in the Snow or Wasteland biomes.

Those log walls should be like 5000 or something.
Please let me craft them! And those scrap walls you take my scrap blocks I need to start laying sheet metal

 

[DED-EFIM]

yup i get the same thing...quite annoying

As mentioned above, enter the number "1" in the first time or world search field and leave the second field blank; those servers will then no longer appear.

I know its probably too late to ask but can we PLEASE have spider zombies given the ability to climb walls.

I remember the time when every base you built or POI you claimed as a base needed an overhanging platform OR ELSE you could expect a visit from the Spider during the night...

 

[bdubyah]

If not climbing, give it a more vertical jump so when it's right underneath you it can jump up and onto the ledge you're standing on if there's no overhang.

Or at least jump up to a ladder and climb the rest of the way.

I imagine the team has thought about including a (small) debuff with every magnitude buff. For instance, you could find a weapon with more attacks per minute (+15%), but less durability (-5%). This way, you would have to decide whether to combine it or not.
If the team did, what pros and cons were brought up?
If not, do you think it would be easy to mod?
I would also like to probably remove magnitude buffs on primitive weapons and maybe scale buffs with tiers. (Like 5% for Tier 1, 10-15% for Tier 2, etc.) How difficult would that be?

 

[Kazgrel]

Removing magnitude from primitive stuff makes playing caveman mode into anything past mid game an absolute pain in the butt, to put it mildly.

On the flip side, though, it does seem silly having stone tools that outperform iron tools (unless said iron tools are starred out the wazoo).

 

[Dark Sun]

That's crucible #3 I've found in the wild. These things have got to be far more common in loot nowadays, surely.

Day 41 here, I loot like a ■■■■■■ and haven't found one in any bioms

 

[beerfly]

10+ years of no pvp support..

That might be a sign.

 

[Strengthinside]

One simple complaint: Large T5/6 POIs, mission to clear zombies, I can't find any zombies to clear ! Sometimes, I get yellow dots where to go to find last zombies. Sometimes, I have a few red dots left to kill, other times I run around for minutes searching - can't find anything and have to fail on purpose as I have no idea what to do...

 

[Grandpa Minion]

That might be a sign.

Developer support and player demand are not the same thing.
NAPVP is currently shown as the #2 ranked server in world by BattleMetrics.com, 7 Days to Die server rankings.
PvP may not be the developers’ priority, but the players filling PvP servers clearly exist.

The only “sign” that matters here is that TFP continues dropping the ball on what a significant part of the player base actually wants over the last 10+years.

I see this all the time with stealth play. In a Tier 5, many encounters have either a trigger, a minscript, or both.

Triggers: You can get a yellow dot (zombie volume hint) in the region of a trigger, wander all around that region, and not get it to fire. After 20 minutes, I equip the Dev block destroyer tool and start breaking things until it triggers. One industrial T5 I basically had to saw the POI in half and let the building collapse before it triggered. The zombie volume hint is insufficient for a triggered volume. Perhaps the trigger should also show a hint. Also, those large POIs should not be stingy on the number that determines the of remaining volumes that makes the hints show. Setting that value to 3 has been common, but sometimes 4 or 5 is needed.

Minscripts: Those large encounters are nasty and a stealth player will flee, kill the fast ones, and restealth. In the meantime, the slow ones loose sight and start to wander. They can get pretty far from their zombie volume. I saw one of them jump off of a skyscraper! You have to hunt those zombies down which can really suck if the zombie doesn't have a red dot (not a clear mission, they got too far away, it's been too long). Then, let's say you found the one that jumped off the building. Killing it might drop that minscript's zombie count low enough that it then spawns another wave... back up on top of the building where the zombies can't find you and start to wander.

Is stable still scheduled for release tomorrow?

I don't know for sure, but
