In my RWG it's only trader Jens so far - granted, I only know three traders on my maps, so it might be the odd one out, but copycat traders seems to be a trend ;)

Coool, I like the idea of scarcer loot and not everyone having everything, especially just by coming back to the same place 5 days later.  I also appreciate the learning by magazines, it's just so much more realistic.  The streamlining/reducing different stuff in loot variance, well, I was...

I always prefer a gerat vanilla experience. makes it easier to connect with others and everyone's talking about the same game. Mods are great, for sure, but "official mods" like DLCs are the icing on the cake for me. 

nooooo, I can't wait for gold, since after gold they can produce a DLC with content. I so miss new content as opposed to streamlining things and would happily pay for a DLC with more building stuff, more weapons, more zombies and such! 

Good call on these two points, defiitely worth pondering

I take recipes over stupid levelling any day. If everyone just has everything, what's the point??  I even think that loot is too linear, having an extremely rare chance for high level items also in early game would be great. Nothing beats finding a powerful recipe in times when you need it most

Agreed. Traders and airdrops just feel like they don't belong in the game (hey, we outside have a fully working economy, sending you airdrops, but we don't bother to pick you up). It feels like elements taken from other games and just implemented here, but they rather take away from survival and...

You are right, but I personally like to play vanilla, mostly because it's easier to play together with my friends then and secondly with all the mods and stuff I often find it difficult to judge what works with and for what and do I like it or not.  I prefer having a finished vanilla...

I agree, this streamlining and simplification isn't the way to go for me, so I will probably try A20 and gold for a game, but then most likely not play anymore 7D2D .... is that bad? I don't think so. I played the game at it's prime (with hindsight that was A16 to me, despite it's weaknesses), I...

Granted, traders along with quests in their current form were not really much-needed additions to the game. Okay to have and in case of the traders indeed OP, but working on other game mechanics could have improved the game more in my opinion.  I see that everyone values different aspects of...

This is true, but TFP have shown that they can backpaddle, if things go really awry. I agree that a lot of game design decisions starting from A17 have been questionable and I think a lot could have been avoided by taking the community aboard. That said, some is rectified later (hard level...

Personally, I think you could even go some further with the bonus, but make it extremely rare ... like, it's not for granted to find a legendary even in 100 in game hours, but if you find it, it has a bonus of maybe 50% oder 75% over a regular weapon.  I don't see it as overpowered, after all...

Are there also more "basic" zombies to come or will new zombie models only be special ones? 

I partly get your point, but much of the concept is a grind from mining to ammo / building material grinding in the 7 day cycle. I am tempted to state that grinding in some way is an essential element of 7D2D. Ofc we are all free to like or dislike it.  that said, the conversations (not you...

Also a possible idea (although this hiemfire guy dislikes any post suggesting change 😁)
