Can you give him the old AI so that he runs around in circles?

That's all that was left after the extraction.

I think a lot of the malaise here of late is the a17 mis step combined with how long we've been on it without those "every few week" updates you'd hoped for. For instance, we still have the santa hats and candy cane shivs!
Madmole, you admitted the guy in charge of a17 was a mistake, and while you see all the a18 improvements, we are all still living with those mistakes... so of course we are still mired in them.
Its sounding like 17.3 will be released just a few weeks before a18 now... or are you going to push a18 back a bit to get it more in line with what you hope to build on?
... and that air bombing Gyrocopter yt video was brilliant, and really needs to be a thing.

Have some idea for new shock batton )
If you look at the picture, then under the handle of the baton you can see the lever.
Is this a lever with which you can charge our baton a little using a dynamo machine (a few clicks of the "R" button)?
Or is it just a switch with which we will turn on the baton at the moment of impact?
It would be cool if we needed to place this baton in a bank of accumulators for some time, for full infection, and use it as ordinary batteries.
That is, this club could work as a normal battery in a battery bank, accepting and giving energy, but if necessary it could be taken and used as a melee weapon)
Alternatively, the baton could be recharged for one blow using the dynamo machine (lever under the handle), or put it for a while in the bank with a battery and fully charged for 15-30 or 100 strokes (depending on the quality of the baton).
What do you think about this? )

Oooooooo that sounds so awesome mate it also opens the room for modders to have all sorts of new custom items.

So if there are only 12 Bugs left will we get a Stable A17.3 or A17.3XP?

Is this some sort of out of season april fools joke?
Bc this is ALL I ever wanted to hear... but I never got this from ANYONE in the team. So are you just making things up?
Hey Madmole, first thanks for the fantastic game. If this discussion is considered off-topic from the thread or forum I apologize.
I know it has been stated that 72D is focused on the single player experience which I fully appreciate. Is there anything we can do to change your mind on this? My group loves PvP playing which I fully understand makes me in the relative minority, but I feel the game could be an incredible experience in this niche. Again this is no way a criticism but more of testing the waters on your feelings on the subject.
Any consideration to:
Reviewing the netcode of the current engine to better compensate latency, vehicle rubber banding and higher player count?
Reviewing the resource footprint of mass numbers of zombie instances?
Addressing the draw distances of objects and other players to fully take advantage of scope dynamics?
Possibly adding newer zombie type/classes that are rare for late game appearances and possibly base destruction purposes.
Again, I know your resources are limited and your interest for the game are probably elsewhere but I feel a possible one release focus on multiplayer may open up the game to another segment of game players. I know the single player guys are rolling their eyes and saying *cough* RUST *cough* and I don't want to take anything away from those groups. I totally get it.
So is this something the fun pimps would ever reconsider or is state of multiplayer most likely going to stay the same?
Thanks!

Ok, noted about walls of text.. you're right, there wasn't much of a direct question as a thought process about the paint/texture current/future state of 72d2 type thing (true, this is an A18 thread), and then your thought(s) on the proposed state of inventory management with repairing idea I've seen mentioned.
