It is a pity that many players will never see them because they start over when they have reached a certain level or when they die.

I was wondering too. In A16 I sometimes had a chain reaction with cops when one of them exploded.

to me I have the same feeling of success if I run away and survive a creature that would kill me the same as beating a creature in a fight..I think demolishers should be a random spawn in pois...

 
@Beerfly

Dont really have 1 set way, but im a stickler for having as many zeds as possible so, 64 max alive. I usually end up dying to something completely stupid and preventable anyway, never on horde night really.

I found more frequent bloodmoons on a lower difficulty very interesting lately.

Constant pressure..

Zombies have finally learned how to use stairs and don't just try to dig through them?

That would be a real innovation. It would also be great if they finally would learn to jump over railings instead of trying to dig through them.

The cops do a lot of damage in these wooden houses when they explode. I don't want to know what a demolisher would do. Probably the whole house would collapse.

Similar with you, but gonna try play semi-nomadic now, as I keep a 2-3km perimeter where I have few stashes with the most valuable stuff, and use a poi for crafting with a LCB to prevent mysterious disappearence of my stuff( or no poi at all why not ), with no use of bedroll at all ingame.

Can`t wait. Thanks.

How many days did your longest game last?
Click to expand...
In a14.latest I managed to survive till day 54 (pothethic I know) , vanilla settings as they were. Fell off a cliff while running from a daily horde, reloading my crossbow, walking backwards.. I loved the big mauntains in RWG back then, but some dogs appeared right after I fell off the cliff with 5hp on me.

Wish I have the habbit to screenshot or record such a moments. We all should.

 
Oh, and just watched a video where Neebs Gaming confirmed a new episodes of 7dtd, starting soon. Very soon. Friday.

I just watched that, it's actually VERY bitter-sweet... why in the F would they start a new series now?! Right before A18 hits, it's going to suck if they do it in A17 by comparison. Was cringe-level funny listening to them, all of them, complain about the removal of zombie loot, those poor guys have no idea what else they're in for. Of course I will still watch it, I watched the last series twice, in full, and I almost never do that.

Madmole and Roland I imagine you both are aware of the Neebs series, it is one of their most successful, and they get MUCH higher average view numbers per episode than other streamers and youtubers. It was over 1 million for the first episode and hovered between 750k and 300k for the other 50+ episodes. So you should be aware(imagine you are) and supportive, I have met a number of people who got into 7DTD because of their videos.

The series was about a year last time, so hundreds of thousands of people are going to watch it and think that A17, not A18, is what your game is, from this Friday's premiere until around this time next year. Be a shame if it turns out that way, imagine it will affect your sales and reputation if it does. What think you of this?

Well the only way that this would be possible is two scenarios:

1. About 30 MFs are solved in a couple of days. Basically impossible.

2. Madmole has been intentionally lying about MFs existing in the first place... for some reason.

Yeah I'm not buying it. I don't think 18's coming yet.

is saying he's lying a joke or do you actually think he is lying because madmole wouldn't lie and also mfs aren't always that complicated to fix but some may be like whack a mole you fix one and like five come up so i don't know if you are being serious or not

That won't help me if the intention is to change the xml tomorrow. What we need is Madmole's answer on the intention....or Gazz's answer about his task list ;)

Steel is the only real exception because it does cost a ton to upgrade.

It downgrades to concrete.

A solid 1m³ block of steel is not exactly immersive because denting that would require a plasma torch and a whole lot of time.

So it's a concrete block plus a steel shell. ;)

In the long run that may not downgrade, either, but we need better destruction visuals...

Uhh, it was a hypothetical statement that I gave no credence to. So no, I highly doubt he is. Mainly because... why would he? I can't think of a reason to make up MFs

 
ROLAAAND!!!

I know you really want more people to guess what 'Conventional Ralston' is, so I will take a stab.

It's going prone! Because that Ralston guy had to cut his limb off to escape, and going prone allows you to go through 1 block spaces! Going prone also reduces heat and zombies do not dig to get to you anymore when you do that.

(partially a joke)
