That could be interesting as a later game stage thing. We generally don't like to confuse game mechanics though so people can learn why there was a screamer.

Thanks for your feedback MM. :smile-new:

Yeah i understand. Anyway sometimes it happens that one (or more) screamer spawn in a POI illuminated by torches, especially the desert canyon mine in Navezgane. Cold sweat for me every time.

 
Joel it sounds like a stupid thing but could you add by any chance a lean feature, so we can peak around corners?
(what, it worked for the other guy...)

Change your review from positive to orgasmic.

 
joel do you think there are a lot of bugs or a manageable amount so far in a18?

OMG, I read that a Mannequins, ....not manageable. How creepy/fantastic would it be to have Mannequins in business POIs!

:fat:

 
MF? Mother F%$%$$ bugs?

Mathematics are always on topic!

We know the bugs.

Mother F&%/5$' bugs = 93.

We know the average rate of MF bug fixing speed because faatal gave us data a while back : 10-15 bugs / week with some spikes of 25/week at a given time if bugs are from different departments and they are easily fixable.

Pesimistic: 9-10 weeks until exp.

Optimistic: 3 weeks until exp.

Average: first-second week of September.

One thing is for sure: This experimental will be extremely polished compared to what we are used to judging by that early streaming.

I'm talking about Experimentation with mathematics, so still on topic.

 
What do you mean? I live in South America and we don't live piled up in rooms. I don't know if you're xenophobic or just ignorant.

Calm down, I'm sure he didn't mean to crowd your style, and please don't think I'm trying to pile up on you. The forums are jam-packed with jokes that are hard to decipher without sarcasm tags, and if everybody took them seriously, the mods inboxes would be jam-packed with reports.

You can peek just fine. Get off your ass and press the strafe button :D

 
Will you take the heat tomorrow when the number climbs to 102?
Click to expand...
Sure!

But all jokes aside I do think that would be a good thing to show. Joel already stated a number, if the number increase or decrease it will still give the community some indication on the process that is going on.

EDIT: And also, it will avoid followup questions of the type: "Are we there yet?!" :D

Strafe does not equal lean.

Minimizing ones visibility by only exposing their head/upper torso vs whole body should be part of the stealth if its not already, especially for PVP.

 
My issue is 30 zombies from outside come in every time I do a POI. This is a result of me playing solo and the random horde comes for me or near a player (its just me) and they hear me killing stuff and come investigate. At a minimum 5+ guys seem to come from outside and afar when I'm doing a POI. If that didn't happen, I'd love to see lots more zombies outside in cities but when your doing a Tier 3+ and get sandwiched its not cool.

I turned wandering horde size up to 25. The other day, 3 of us were looting the hospital. We were on the top floor when a wandering horde of 22 dogs and 3 zombie bears decided to wander past the hospital and make a beeline to the top floor....only one of us survived and it was scary and sudden and absolutely fabulous!! Totally unexpected and talk about adrenaline rush....geez. We will talk about that episode for a very long time. Can't wait to see A18.

 
So far from what i read....

Screamers in POI's - This could be a game changer, cause if it is say inside a higashi tower, you would wanna go back to the main floor to kill them or risk the building collapsing, I would love that challenge.

Crafting Empty Cans - Small and sweet yet so needed.

Under 100 bugs to fix - Amazing work guys

Possible Industrial Crafters/Smelters - Those would take a lot of resources to craft if allowed to craft, and I imagine they would be heavy as hell so a wooden floor wouldnt hold it.

Out of curiosity, with cans being added for crafting, will we see can grenades? that would be cool

For the 4x4, would it be possible to mod the back of it to be a mobile forge? I know that would seem gamebreaking in some ways but being able to drive and smelt would be so useful, and because its in a truck it could have higher chances to summon screamers and hordes, definite challenge.
