    PC Alpha17 Feedback after 40 hours.

    I like the idea of restricting upgrades to certain tools by material- accidental upgrade is a pet peeve of mine, too. Carrying multiple tools is a pain, but what about a (higher-level) recipe that allows you to make a "tool kit" that contains everything in one slot- but you select the specific...

    PC AK/7.62 - are we in USA? why not AR/M16/M4 with 556?

    What Sylen said... but also: 7.62 is the round you use to kill your enemies, 5.56 is the size you use when you're OK with just pissing them off... ? Navezgane doesn't sound even remotely Slavic...

    PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

    Never really understood the "need" for prone in that whole scenario. I'm 178cm and can very comfortably crouch walk through a 1 meter square space... At 50, I'm certainly not a contortionist. It's the one development decision in 7 Days that I've strongly disagreed and been disappointed with..

    PC Help Wanted

    Or, more likely, changes in A17 have made stamina different... and Madmole- wisely spending his time working out A17 kinks instead of making videos for half the forums to find more stuff to get totally melodramatic and hyperbolic about- is trying to get a baseline for adjustments to tweak things...

    PC Just release the shiznit

    I will probably dabble with it, but not start a serious game. Even so, I'm perfectly good with waiting until the Pimps judge the game stable enough for experimental.

    PC Just release the shiznit

    And thank God for that, since if they did release, the people currently crying for the release would be the first to line up and cry about the bugs. Instead of 30 pages of incessant moaning and crap ignorant analysis from either a "legal" or business process perspective, there would be 50...

    PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

    Got a debit card when they first came out... for nearly 25 years never had a problem with any one of them. Since those new "safer" chip cards were released, I've been hacked three times. In the last year, I've bought all my gas with cash, and haven't had another problem

    PC When will A17 experimental be released 3?

    How many times to they have to repeat that zombies aren't "lootless" in A17, they've just changed the way the loot gets dropped? Backpacks instead of torsos.

    This trend is hardly limited to EA game forums, unfortunately...

    Console Telltale Layoffs

    What, that as soon as TTG is dead, another publisher is "activated"? Unfortunately, legal agreements are rarely that soft. I feel sorry for the console players- on multiple levels ;) - but the bottom line is, they shouldn't be blaming or harassing TFP on this. This is all on TTG.

    Console Telltale Layoffs

    Of course I'm a PC player. Last time I limited my gaming with a console, it was a Dreamcast. But here's the simple point re: the port. TFP did make money off it. By selling the rights to the console version to TTG. Who now owns those rights until they sell them off or there are bankruptcy...

    Console Telltale Layoffs

    What it means is it really isn't TFP's problem. 7DtD was never advertised as a console game, TTG came in and arranged that. It's not really on the Pimps to cover TTG's failure. Maybe TFP will help IG find new sponsors, but TFP has its hands full with the original PC version and shouldn't be...

    PC is A17 removing the much beloved run and gun aspect?

    This really is the heart of it, but then it comes down to a segment of the player base that want to impose that particular playstyle on all others. I'm more of a fan of being able to customize, which is admittedly something that really has no place in Alpha because it interferes with the devs...

    PC is A17 removing the much beloved run and gun aspect?

    Actually, no. There's realism that promotes tactical gameplay, and realism that cripples gameplay. Running backwards is an example of the former, restricting building inventories is the latter. If you had to to carry realistic amounts of building supplies, you'd have time for little else. OTOH...

    PC is A17 removing the much beloved run and gun aspect?

    I couldn't agree more. In fact, I doubt anyone complaining could run backwards across uneven terrain for very long, much less actually fight while doing so. Here's a suggestion, though, since this is a game: Bring back the ability to run backwards, but with a default 95% chance to fall down...
