A plea to the Fun Pimps.

Make a classic version of 7 days to die. I think I speak on behalf of the OG community here. You have made a simplified version stripped of content for consoles and casual gamers. Financially this is understandable. I'm not here to spread negativity anymore. But I have a solution that will fix everything.

You can keep your current version of the game and work on it however you want. But there has to be compromise and fullfilment of what the vocal not so soon to be minority of people who want alpha16 and below in terms of gameplay. So I propose that you work on, or hire the best modders and have a portion of the team create a different version of the game. Both can be playable in the menu.

An immersive 7 days to die classic version. With all removed content put back in and a return to immersive horror gritty survival like in alpha 11-16.

This will satisfy us and you will be happy as devs and the community will be to.

It's not difficult to do. You could allocate a portion of the team or fans with coding knowledge and modders who are passionate for game, and even hire them to work on the alternative "game mode" or classic 7 days to die.

right now 7 days to die is a streamlined rpg dungeon crawler bordering on some kind of fantasy rpg. If we have both versions, everyone wins.
 
You can always play older versions from the beta menu on Steam, if you're on PC.
Yes thank you for pointing out the obvious. The problem is that the old version is outdated. What I am proposing is an inclusion of the old version but actively being worked on and as a separate version officially revived.

Hey, not everyone knows about older versions being available in the betas tab.

Regardless, this is unlikely. Where's the profit in it for TFP? They've already got your money, and they're unlikely to make a lot more new sales by doing something like this.

(Just to note, I'd rather like something like this, I just realize it's unreasonable to expect it to happen.)
 
Old Guard? I don't think it necessarily translates directly to anything with the way it's used now, but it basically means the old-school/original whatever.

If the original version of Fallout 76 were released as a single player and opened up to the modding community, everyone would win...and BGS might even regain some of the community goodwill it unfortunately lost over that debacle, which wasn't its fault. The game world and, even, some of the worldbuilding is as impressive in that game as its ever been in a BGS game. That's what the studio excels at after all. Ain't going to happen, though, for...reasons.
 
I pointed it out in your other thread as well that this isn't likely to ever happen. They aren't going to update an older version of the game. Why would they? They already did. It just isn't what you wanted. You have to either accept that the current version is what it is, or else use mods to change it, or else play an old (outdated) version of the game. Bemoaning the loss of what you liked won't change those options.

Btw, posting duplicate topics in multiple forums is generally frowned upon. You won't get more exposure because the people reading the forums see the posts regardless where you post it. Also, the moderators will normally move suggestions to this forum when they see them in other forums anyhow.
