PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

Guilty!People complain about loss of LBD, zombie loot, and craftable purples in the game but they don't know MY pain.

Loss of Polls = Forum Dumb Down for moderators

(Can I get a Hell Yeah! Crater Creator?)

Well you could just let any user make a poll so that they are all for fun by default. If TFP wants an official one, if ever again, title as official and sticky.

I'm not complaining about this, on the contrary I like rough play, but I find it very expensive to make cement right now, could that be regulated?

Cement is in almost every single poi.. just take a shovel.

Oooo, sounds sexy. Makes the smaller weapons more appealing. Are there already wpn mods that increase swing speed? If not, there should be.

He showcased gun mods that increased the rate of fire for some weapons a while back. Wonder what happened to them?

 

[bobross]

It was adding everyone together and using team GS. Now (in the next patch) it will use the highest level players GS for loot, for the entire group.

Okay, and so does that mean we're going to go into the Day 28 horde with a bunch of brown and orange tier 2 weapons and armor and end up facing 17 demolishers again? Because... yeah. That would suck a bit.

Waitaminute... hey Roland. You're in charge of our avatar labels, right?
I am now "Ranger"... how did you know that is my in-game name. Well, close, it's RangerRedd, but still. Is that just a wild guess/fluke or did you know that somehow?

i always used my axe, lol.

 

[Guppycur]

Nobody has EVER HAD A LEGENDARY EFFECT, EVER. So stop saying its underwhelming when you haven't got your +8000000 damage to guppies battle axe yet.

Kinda assumed taza's was legendary.

...and she's my wife, only I get to call her a battle axe.

Yup, I harvest it at every poi I enter right from the start. I know I'm gonna use it late game. Got about 4 stacks waiting so far.

 

[Guppycur]

Just admit it, it was for your amusement.

More like crowd control.

Change wetted trousers, perk up weapon, scrap bunch of brown and orange weapons, craft tier 4 or 5 weapon. :rapture:

You're lucky, a lot of guys seem to have castraters instead.

So at 20.000 posts the rank is "Forum Whore" ?

 

[madmole]

Is 7dtd going to become a series like Fallout? I'd love that, but I realize that it would be a lot of work.

As long as we continue to do well, yes.

I doubt you'll ever find out, Mr. 898

 

[MechanicalLens]

I love how frequent heads explode. The next patch punches are about 30% faster, so even more glorious head explosions. Knives are much faster too, axes etc. Damages are all scaled so dps is the same, but it just feels way better having faster attacks.

Yes, yes, yes! Yes!

 

[madmole]

Is it intended, that the demolisher does no damage to structures, that are protected by a landclaim?

No, but we will look into it.

 

[Jedo]

Is this an obscure Liar Liar reference? Because it's fantastic.

Not an intentional reference; more like true reality. (My wife hates hearing about my BMs.) However, Liar Liar is one of my favorite movies of all time.

I could jump my post count to 40.000 in 1 hour, but that probably would not sit well with Roland.

 

[madmole]

Nice. I usually, not always, but usually click in just as much time as the forge/campfire/chem station says it needs for what it is doing, that way it shuts of when it is done, and is easier to tell when that happens from afar. Yeah it works well with reg wood in the campfire, but for big jobs, like cranking gunpowder or glue in chem station, or smelting tons of material in a forge, logs would be nice. Gonna give it a try.
Have a quick question, maybe I'm not the only one, but sometimes the proposed time vs actual time in the chem station seems off. Like, I'll load what it says it needs, then come back and it's out of fuel and still has work to do. Am I missing something or has anyone else experienced such fluctuations/miscalcs as well? Only really happens in the chem station iirc.

I keep them right in the forge in the output tray, I rarely need all 6 slots.

 

[madmole]

When that "extra" mod slot is still 1 less than we had in A17? Yes, it's underwhelming.When the "higher" stats are only a possibility and not assured? Yes, it's underwhelming.

Newcomers will appreciate it then. Sorry we screwed up and spoiled you. Legendaries aren't about mod slots, its abut something something something... dark side.
