You should try Taylor for acoustic guitars, they sound and play so much better than Martin's IMHO. A 700 dollar Taylor seems better than a 1500 dollar martin. I settled on the 1700 dollar Taylor then they got a 2500 dollar one I'm drooling over a few months later, lol. Oh well, its very nice. I had to get a humidifier for the house it got some warpage over winter and I had to get it adjusted.

asked this in the general forum a few hours ago but figured it would be more fitting here where you seem to answer direct questions.

on 3th april you wrote:

"Alpha 18 waits for noone or no feature. If a feature isn't ready it gets disabled. I can't give a release date but I can assure you its in the first half of 2019."

since then when talking with friends about the game we expected a deadline of version 18 to be on 30th juni 2019. is the release of the patch postponed for a longer time? or can we expect it coming soon?

thanks.

We're about 5 or 6 weeks out yet, sorry that was a neat idea but after a rough 17 launch we're wanting to take the time and make sure its as good as it can be. We will probably be streaming and doing videos so you guys should have a fair amount of media to tide you over until release.

 
I think I missed something about a "sapper" zombie? I'm having one hell of a time with the forum search feature and all I get is that the word sapper showed up in this topic, but which page out of 655? I have no idea.

When you search, do it in advanced and switch to the individual posts mode and select to view posts as opposed to threads.

 
Any chance of getting hunger\thirst\stamina drain tied to difficulty? So on higher difficulties they would drain faster. I think this would help actually bring more of a challenge to the higher difficulties for the more hardcore players.

 
Oh wait, my bad. I didn't realize I had to click "single content type" tab. I thought I was already on that.

Edit: And, meh. I still didn't find any useful information on it. haha, I also don't mind just waiting and seeing what pops up in game. Surprises are scarier anyway.

The chunk would have to be loaded for the sound to play I am guessing.

So someone far away shoots at you, but you can't hear it, because your potato pc didn't load the chunk :(

Perhaps gunshots sounds should be extended way farther then the loaded chunks. You know, for pvp reasons..

game killers in pvp

I still believe today one of the biggest mistakes pimps made was removing calipers from the game. Used to players had to travel and take a risk to get out and find what they needed to survive. In todays game everything is given in just about any poi a player can get all they need. Really no need to risk looking for something like it used to be. I sure hope in A18 TfP add something that brings back this type of element. It really is needed on pvp servers for players to travel to obtain such important things.

You nailed it. A17 was the first release that bored me to tears.

LOL, I think you will be happy.

I think its if the chunk is loaded on the server but I could be wrong.

 
Joel, on your interview you guys said you'd like to have alpha 18 back before school starts.

For us in Australia... What does that mean as we are not used to your system. What 'rough' time frame are we looking at? 4 wksish? 12 weeksish?

 
Madmole,

Welcome back - a question if I may, have the Pimps considered large "fuel tanks" that can be attached to generators. It was a question posed in the Pimp Dreams forum, and I think a good one at that. In short, a way to just throw copious amounts of fuel at a generator to reduce the frequency by which it needs to be topped up. A good chance for another book to.

 
Joel, in Alpha 17 it feels base defence is too easy. I make a tower with a pit with blade traps in it. Zombies run out of the pit back up to try to get to me and because I put barbed wire everywhere they move so slow I'm really in no danger at all. At later levels (e.g. lol 100) it really feels rebalance is needed. I love the idea of the exploding zombies demo guy.

Do you think that rebalance for later in the game is there?

Gee I love this game...

 
Just want to butt in about the calisthenics,since health is important in any topic :')

It builds up the small muscle groups and tensile strength like nothing else, enabling you to lift more, and safer as well.

It even helps regenerating quicker if it's done as a warmup, done more in a mostly static, controlled yoga kind of way. What's the word, isotropic? Brings out your muscles for sure. Just never go for max imo. If you train so hard that you need a rest day, you are missing out on a training day :)

Look at ring atheletes if you are in doubt about static holds and muscle growth / control :)

In Dallas, Texas (where the Pimps' office is) school starts August 19. But you probably know not to use that as a firm deadline for a18. In the interview TFP said they have 5-6 weeks of work for sure, but that delays can also be expected.
