Its a ritual for me, Ive rubbed patch notes on my naked glistening perfectly manicured body from A16 to A18, and soon A19.

Roland rejected my streamer application though, so,  sorry.   It was gonna be one hell of a show, but not on twitch.
Can we make sure the patch list is a long one... printed on wide paper... and doubled spaced... with a really large font?  Please?

🙂

i just find the rats that like to eat my corn and watermelons and i sacrifice them in a burning pit while chanting "releases the kraken" then i uses the blood of the rats to draw the TFP logo and do the same thing, then i will my own blood and draw the Pimp cane with the Logo and chant it AGAIN!

but hey! you do you!

"TFP is proud to announce the Alpha 19 Developer Stream series starting June 12th at 9 PM CST. Founder & Designer Richard Huenink will be on a live stream with Senior Developer Lathan Meadows for some Q & A. More Dev streams to follow in the coming days."

Joel's going to be on this also? It doesn't say in the announcement. We need Madmole on this!

 
I think the game is much scarier when you're in a building surrounded by zombies than when you're outside of a building and most of the zombies are hidden within. 

I don't mind the sleeper system, but I do wish it was not the predominant system.

At least make a system where if sleepers wake up, the biome spawns increase and zombies head your general direction.

That would put a great deal more pressure on you.
Your first sentence is so true. My best experience so far has been the Tier 5 Shotgun Messiah on Navezgane. I think the POI is a masterpiece in terms of design and feel, and we had several screamers during the expedition coming from the outside, along with their troops. Probably a mix of it being in the wasteland and us generating a lot of heat by using our weapons. You had that "banging on the wall" stress, followed by the even worse silence that lets you know they found a way in. Sometimes a single zombie would join us from behind, making no noise at all. Basically zombies ahead and zombies in the back. We didn't "cheese" it by blocking pathways with wood frames, and honestly it was an amazing time. 

The rewards not so much though, even with 2 choices out of 5 options. Regarding the rewards of Tier 5 quests that feel sometimes underwhelming for the time spent, I reckon a different currency could be introduced, some kind of token that you would collect only by doing quests. Maybe rework the secret stash, or add yet another "inventory", where the trader offers you additionnal good loot in exchange for several "quest tokens".

Also, the loot at the end of the Tier 5 POIs should be bigger. It's more or less the same "metal chest, 2-3 crates, ammo pile and weapon bag" (with an added hardened chest that is far from being OP) as most other POIs, and unless you are really lucky it often feels underwhelming for the time spent.

If only there was a way to ask the CEO of the company who is also a POI designer, questions regarding sleepers and outside zombies and have him talk about it live this Friday night.....

So... Roland. I'm a bit confused, and I think I am not the only one (should be part of a song's lyrics)

What does Developer Streamer weekend mean as per TFP twitter post?

A- An streaming session with only Devs and Prime, who is also a Streamer aside from being a dev. No youtubers or other content creators will be streaming 7dtd A19 until a proper Streamer weekend is announced.

B- An streaming session with only Devs and Prime, who is also a Streamer aside from being a dev. In addition, youtubers and other content creators will be streaming 7dtd A19 because the twitter post meant "Prerelease Streamer weekend" and not only "Dev Streamer Weekend".

C- An streaming session with only Devs and Prime, who is also a Streamer aside from being a dev. No youtubers or other content creators will be streaming 7dtd until a proper Streamer weekend is announced. More Developer streaming sessions of this type will be coming on the following weeks until said Streamer Weekend is announced.

Edit: Streamer sounds like fun, so much better than streaming lol.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Prime will host different members of the staff to talk about 7 Days to Die. Not much footage of A19 if any will be shown. It's just Q&A rap sessions. Monday will be artists talking about the HD zombies and I believe they may show some new concept art for the next round of updates to our undead friends. This series will continue until the Friday that starts off the Streamer Preview Weekend.

Joel has a night scheduled and he may show some game footage-- but I'm not sure yet. The itinerary is still being created. On Saturday I'll post up the thread for Monday's show so people can post questions and it will continue on. They definitely won't be doing this for a month or longer so you know we are close.

Will the q&a be strictly from the viewers or are you blocking time for a "forum only guys questions" section?

Will the A19 things shown off be shared in this thread for people who don't watch streams to see them? I would greatly appreciate it.

Its going to be pretty informal. So I imagine Rick and Lathan will talk and bring up things they see in the thread as well as take questions from anyone in the live audience. I don't think he will block specific time out for anything specific.

The stream will be recorded and posted to YouTube and I'll post the link to that here. Don't tell me you don't watch YouTube... ;)

Can we ask vicious and unpleasant questions?
It's a free country....some places in the world.
