Oklahoma here, boars are no joke!
I'd also agree; wild pigs are mean as hell, would like to see some randomized behavior between skittishness, agression, and being aloof.

And now that I'm thinking about wildlife, I'd love to see raccoons. If there was ever a forest critter I'd never mess with, it's the trash panda.
Given their toughness I think boars need to be hostile/run away once they sense you.

 
Been getting alot of lions in snow biome. I love it. I saw one attacking a lumber Jack and killed it for its meat after he destroyed the zed...
In terms of zombie meat, I suspect the lumberjack's is the freshest.

 
Ye man, the ones in Texas dont mind attacking a full size 4x4 pickup truck if they feel like it. I dont think we have a ton of them here though. I have only seen them near a certain lake I used to fish, near a state park. Maybe though, not sure. Mean as hell though, that is for sure. And ugly.
Are you actually in Texas, or you just know some about Texas hogs? I'm in North Texas, just south of the Oklahoma border, and some of our farmers/ranchers will get a trailer-load pretty frequently. They're a big nuisance. A guy from the Ag Department says they have a whole program devoted to giving assistance to farmers/ranchers as they try to thin the herds.

There is no gun jam.
Shotgun Messiah branded Gun Jam! The breakfast of champions!
Yeah, I like me some gun jam on a slice of moldy bread in the mornings. Starts the day off right!

 
This is our game. We can make up whatever make of ammunition we want. =P
Shamway ammo confirmed for A19??? The projectile attracts Z's to their location. Smell confirmed for A19 too? Trankitas confirmed for A19??

 
Oh really? Seeds can die?! (Or, did you mean out of your food storage?) Honestly, if I hadn't cheated myself a couple of seeds I would have never enjoyed Jack-o-lanterns. I've never looted a single one. That just sucks about your campfire and food storage dying :( I had my campfire get busted losing my cooking pot/grill in my recent run at day 14. Was living in a trailer while building up farm for a proper base (next to two traders, couldn't resist lol)

Demolishers definitely blew up patches of my iron spikes, did damage to my walls/ground and blew off several wooden bars off my base in my last horde night.

Omg lol I just saw your name Guppys fur

We are a fully PVE Server and have changed XML Files accordingly.

Maybe there is the mistake, but not sure why this should affect Zombie Damage ( they do normal Block Damages to Bases, just their Explosions are harmless)

We use this

&lt;property name="LandClaimCount" value="50"/&gt;

&lt;property name="LandClaimSize" value="41"/&gt;

&lt;property name="LandClaimDeadZone" value="30"/&gt;

&lt;property name="LandClaimExpiryTime" value="20"/&gt;

&lt;property name="LandClaimDecayMode" value="2"/&gt;

&lt;property name="LandClaimOnlineDurabilityModifier" value="0"/&gt;

&lt;property name="LandClaimOfflineDurabilityModifier" value="0"/&gt;

I don't know that I've issued out my thanks yet for this new experimental Alpha, so let me go ahead and do it.
First of all, I came from console. 3 years or so of it, before my wife surprised me with the birthday gift of a PC. Seriously among the best gifts I've ever received, besides my kids. Well, depending on whether or not my kids are being jerks :)

Anyway, it's been for lack of a better word, a culture shock. Multiple vehicle options, new zombies (dat beefy biker tho, move over Froze Bunyan), turrets, CREATING A CHARACTER. I could go on and on. But let me focus on A18.

I was a miner extraordinaire before this patch. Now, I still want to get into mining, but there are legitimate "classes" I can try out. Level ups feel valuable now. Earning those perk points is great. Looting is more than just finding scrap to melt down at the forge, because I need to supplement the weapons I can make now, and don't get me started on the POIs. Each one tells this little story with torches or lights where some poor soul tried to hold out before turning.

No more spam crafting. I know this was basically nullified in what, A16 from what I hear, but this is so nice. It's mostly gone out of Console too, but it's still viable up to Quality 200 or so.

The desert is dangerous. I started a new game last night to try to reproduce a potential bug, and got dropped into the Arizona special. Used to, I only headed there for shale but I think I'm going to stick around. Coyotes (while fairly unrealistic to just attack humans-edit, on the other hand, they run away almost immediately upon taking damage, so no issue here) look great. Vultures swooping in whenever I get bit by Wiley. Rattlesnakes sneaking up (unsuccessfully) on me. I haven't encountered a mountain lion yet, but the amount of fun from a single freaking day was terrific. Spears are freaking awesome, brass knuckles are teeth crackin fun, sledgehammers make me feel like a Siege Tank that's been clicked too many times in Starcraft (props to you for getting that one).

In conclusion, amazing experimental so far. I bought this game on PC about three months after buying it on console; 7 Days was the kick in the rump to build a computer. Excited to see what comes next, Fun Pimps.
Glad a Fallout lover (assuming from avatar) is loving 7 days.
