Yeah I don't think so. One bug and there will be crying and lamenting. We get one chance to release this and make some noise, it needs to be good noise.

Yeah, and people who say they are your biggest fans and that they do not care about the bugs are ALWAYS the first ones to pick up the pitchforks and scream about your demise.

I have seen it so many times in the numerous alphas and betas i have participated in, lol.

Can I complain if A18 is released with no bugs? I like finding bugs and if there are not any to find ima be pissed, thats half the fun! :)

 
So, instead of offering us the choice between a black and brown duster that can both be painted anyway, you're giving us a generic duster that can be painted with any of the paint textures available? How sweet is that! Yellow puke wallpaper dusters in A18, confirmed!

Um I'm a fan of 7DTD and I genuinely don't care about bugs that much. Honestly the only one that actually got under my skin was the bug where people would drown despite not being in water when on multiplayer servers, that was really annoying. Other than that, I'm a happy camper. I think people who are already crying doom on the forums are the ones who'd complain. And why would you want to appease the unappeasable?

 
Joking and sarcasm aside;

There are some who do actually complain about this....and it may well feel that way for us that's been playing since cubes...., but thing to keep in mind is, perhaps it felt more challenging because we had so much less to work with. No tutorials, or streamers with years of experience, or detailed wikis.

We just find it a lot easier now, because we have all the base knowledge and know how, and now we get all these tools and features to do so much more than before.

I think "Smeef" is smurf meat.

A fair attempt, but Smeef is what you find in those cupboards of the wasteland--smelly beef. It's a reference to Olan Roger's "Death is a Silent Wave" video on youtube. I don't watch him anymore but I like this username so much that it stuck. Mostly because of people incredulously asking me what the hell smeef is :D

 
The kraken has a hex head or torx bit so he's hard to screw with.

hibernating bears in caves confirmed A18

Yes we removed a unique item, and streamlined. God forbid you drag dye into a cosmetic slot, you should have a complete new mini game to prepare the dye in a bucket slot in your campfire, and collect various colored herbs to mix the dyes, then stir them with a the back end of a hoe or sharp stick. Then put the item in and hang it to dry for 12 hours.

Ya, like going to fight a giant in skyrim only to be launched into space, good times. Maybe the demolishers will have a bug similar to this, lol.

Looking forward to crafting some clothespins.

Madmole - Can I assume you have added/tweaked the paint textures for A18? Any new ones you'd care to show off? Any new zombie flaming quilts (to smother dying zombies with) with Barney stamped on them?

 
good idea actually *starts modding*

You might win clunky mod of the year award at least :) I mean something like that could be ok for some kind of super immersion mod that turns the game to more of a day z kind of feeling, but for us we don't see value in making simple rewards complex in design. Its just busy work for the sake of being complicated.

 
Heh...says the fellows who had us forging re-bar frames, placing them, and then nailing plywood forms together before pouring concrete (you did mix concrete, right?) and waiting for the plywood to drop off after the cement dried.

Nothing has changed there except the plywood is gone. The reason being was we didn't know where the top was after rotations so it made sense to just make the whole block wet concrete.
