Mr Mole,

since we are getting a Badass Sniper Rifle, i was wondering if we get new Scopes?

Maybe a Thermal one, or a Night Vision one that does not burn your eyes out ? :)

I remember in A16 you showed us a video of the new sneak system with a new Nightvision. It was blue tinted and MUCH friendlier to the eye.

Completly canned or chance of return?

 
I cant believe it's almost here...if they can get it out april/may, I think I'll be liking this 6 month release cycle until gold...?

Hold the horses. Previous data shows that 18.4 + 5 months is the most plausible scenario. That means 19.0 is due for release in August at the latest for Exp release, July at the earliest (+4 months) . If they cut back we just get less content and, be aware, modeling 30 new entities takes just that much time (3-5 days for entity from scratch to in-game per 1 3d modeler + 1 animator team) , so it's a win win for us if they release it that far into the Summer.

The light is looking flipping fantastic! The station (from what we can see of it) looks superb, and Arlene... is looking as grotesque as ever. ;) Just like the zombies, I hunger for more.

Their first version was scarier, I caught it before they replaced it.

Mr. Mole,

Not sure if you guys are in Content Lock yet, but how about an Endgame Item that can add Mod-Slots to Weapons/Armor?

Like a Mounting-thingy that uses a Mod Slot (-1) but adds 2 Mod-Slots (+2) resulting in one more Modslot effectivly? (+1)

Maybe balance that out with Cost/rarity.

 
I have a question for artists who paint zombies. Why do zombies have severe head injuries, but the rest of the body is almost uninjured? On the legs, arms and body, only abrasions and scratches can be seen. Why aren't there bare bones, missing muscle parts or bare muscle tissue?

And the second question. I already asked him a very long time, but did not receive an answer. Why are all the zombies in the game in such good shape (except for the fat tourist, cop and fat woman)?

We have all the zombies in the game have excellent pres, pumped up muscles and a beautiful ass;) Where are ordinary people who turned into zombies? =)

And do not tell me that only those who were in shape turned into zombies and ate the rest =) A fat tourist, a fat cop and a fat woman refute this statement.

@devs: While I appreciate the effort making new zombie models high quality, they are becoming so creepy that my friends are having second thought about playing the game and possible having nightmares. So I wondered does new zombie models become less gory when for example lowering textures. A18 models were perfectly fine for them.

Not trying to sound impertinent, but if you're going to have nightmares over the new zombie reskins, perhaps you're simply not of the appropriate demographic to be playing this game? (In other words, I'm assuming you're still an adolescent.)

I heard that! XD

but to be real. i love the new models, yes i have my "nit picks" but i am happy that they are getting updated. i really hope that all the zombies in the near future will get this treatment. like maybe the lumberjack can spawn in the woods and snowy forest, with mud, blood, Plants/moss torn cloths etc. i personally love it!

Don't wanna sound like a jackass or anything but you serious? I'm definitely under 18 playing this game and the new models aren't scary well kind of but that's the beauty of it why would you want zombies that aren't really somewhat scarey and high quality I'd say they look pretty damn high quality and their appearance doesn't scare me one bit from what I've seen I'm sure if you look at them for quite a while I'm sure you'll be fine because if someone is scared of the new zombie models I don't think it will change anything on their design style

 
Well in my opinion the new zombie models look like the best ones I have seen in most games and from what I've seen they really suit 7 days to die since it is a horror game I'm pretty sure survival horse crafting so you more scarey isn't this what was wanted? I remember in alpha 8 or something where there would be whispers in your guys ear or streange ambient noises and baby's and with that all removed I think the new zombie models make the game that bit more realistic and scarey I guess

 
Yeah, I am quaking in my chair thinking will we get this before Christmas 2020.... Its A18 all over again....

The thing that makes me angry the most about it, is that i always fall for it again. MM last Fall: "Uhhhm yeah we gonna do small Content Updates every 3 months, first one before Christmas 2019"

always the same lies... eh "predictions" every cycle again and again and i believe him and get deeply dissapointed with every goddamn Month that passes^^
