Samesies.  I just don't like the litter and trash, and I end up stopping to clean up every little pile.  I'm also the guy that picks up all of the rocks, and clears the tires and roadkill off of the road.  (Yes, technically you could say that I have a flower-sniffing pace. :D )

I am seeing anywhere from 30-60 second page load time.  Going from one post, back to General Discussion, etc.  Is that the expected performance for each Alpha release? And here I am thinking that perhaps they could just push an Apache or IIS restart or somesuch to make things go a little better.

Dear The Fun Pimps & forum staff: The 7 Days To Die official forum is running very slowly / poorly.  Performance is seriously taking a hit.  It might be time to feed the hamsters in the hamster wheel.  Or, get new hamsters.  :) Thanks!

And perhaps reputation with Trader1 actually works against you for Trader2 (because Trader2 is a jerk).  Hehehe...

ChickenWings, you make a very good point.  Some of what you describe with the snake hissing also happens with the zombies.  It's almost like they are in their subroutine to make whatever zombie sound they are going to make - it's committed... queued up as it were.  And then you knock the guys...

Perhaps a single, "ninja" stealth zombie type.  Maybe it only makes an occasional soft gurgling that you can only hear once he/she's already upon you (86 the zombie "shout" alerting sound).  I would go for that.  And not like them (in a good, game-challenge kind of way). But the birds, man. ...

I agree that some tuning is still needed here.  It seems that the POI "volumes" (I keep seeing that used as a term) seem to separate out the sleeper zombies as you work the POI from room to room.  One room, or one encounter point, and whatever noise you make does not seem to disturb the sleepers...

Oh man it messes me up and my targeting habits when they crouch like that and come at ya.  I hate that (meaning I love it)!!  :D I hope that they manage an extra large sound pass soon.  But there is definitely some content here to be excited about.  :)

Any thoughts or feedback here from the community at large? Are The Fun Pimps usually pretty good about sifting the forums for feedback?

This is a valid ask.  When I see this bro, and I pray for a dismembering strike.  Cause otherwise - he gon take a few swings. Also a change in A20 - the obese, sweaty zombie in the wife beater shirt (our friends call this guy a "Ron Jeremy") isn't worth any extra XP.  But, to his credit, he is...

Steel pickaxe on day 1 would be an absolute NIGHTMARE!!  Think of how many hours it would take to swing that thing just to break up a rock cluster.  OMG.  And day 1, with no time to have spent perks on strength or sexual t!  :D :D :D

Apologies for the side-topic question - but what does the blue loot bag mean?  Is this a different kind of loot?  Spicier?  Or higher level loot? I've seen a few of these to date in A20.  But I do not understand their significance. I agree.  I would think that the default settings ought to...

Like many of you - I always put down my loot cache boxes for a POI in the middle of the street adjacent to the place.  If there is no nearby street, I look at the POI from a distance and kind of guess the squared off perimeter of a place.  Then I go outside of that perimeter into the grass.  And...

You have to measure "adding to a game's atmosphere" against dramatically limiting the potential international audience.  And, therefore, the game's potential revenue stream.  Not to mention, it sounds like, the game designers' own personal reservations on the topic. If this is an important...

They used to have a logic that seemed to "count" the number of sleepers in the POI.  You could actually go in and out of the front door of one of the big towers, go far enough away from it, and then the zombies still in the "count" would respawn on the first floor.  It was a bit of a cheese to...
