Feature Request for A21:  Could we please get an option to favorite or lock items in your inventory?  This could prevent accidental scrapping/selling/or transferring when doing transfer all.  I just accidentally scrapped my nerdy glasses today which made me think of this, but it could also be useful for keeping a stack of fuel in your vehicle that doesn't get moved out by when you select all inventory or a stack of first aid kits in your drone that you don't want to take out.

Replacement.  The old one is way behind current standards.  We have a couple of large POIs in the planning phase so some additions will be on their way.

I have nothing to add except you guys (the POI designers) are knocking it out of the park time after time with these redesigned and new POIs. The level of detail is just *chef's kiss*

Also, I do have something to add. You meanie, you lied to me! You told me on YouTube a while ago (I think under a games4kickz video) that the chain link fence gates would be doors. They are not 😠 (I jest, the addition of them at all is incredible and one of my favorites, even if they don't function as doors 😕 )

So the two big Kickstarter things I haven't seen word about are VR support and Playing as a Zombie.

I'm curious if those two are still on the roadmap, and if so, how much attention would be given to the VR side.  Just a new camera and controller mappings or would we see hand movements and being able to pick up rocks.

Also, I'm curious if there are plans to go more into PvP.  I've only played heavily modded PVP games because the design just isn't set up for quick matches. Will there be any additional modes?

Something I've been working on is this:

Also, madmole promised me horde mode would make a return.  I know you came on board after horde mode was gone but I'm wondering if you have played it or seen it or if it really is coming back.

Thanks faatal.  You may spell your name wrong but you're pretty cool. 

 
instead of putting mods in the appdata, which is a hidden file and most people will have to google how to get to it. why dont you put it in the My documents/games folder where they can easily get to it? I mean that is where bethesda and many other gaming companies put some of their stuf.

 
Any chance we get heatmap system re-visit as a requirement for bandit spawns? I think it got nerfed to the ground by now. At least if you are constantly questing and roaming instead of sitting at base.

I dislike never getting heat events on non-modded servers and having city streets quickly becoming empty (since roaming zombies either dont respawn quick enough or just never respawn at all).

Hi DEV's, what is this, and why we can see it only in Navezgane?
Is this a big poster that will only be found in Navezgane in Alpha 21?

Any funny issues/quirks so far while working on A21?

I still chuckle when I think about that one post faatal mentioned about bandits running around in A-pose shouting obscenities

 
The behavior of writeable objects is frustrating.  If a sign or box has writing on it and I edit it, why would it make any sense to show the last thing I typed on a DIFFERENT object?  It should show the same text that is on the object that one is editing.  If I just want to fix a typo or change a number I have to retype the entire string.

It didn't work like this in previous versions.  Please change it back.

Good lord, is that really how it works? I could've sworn it worked as you describe, where it shows the current text of the object you are editing. I'm going to have to go back and look because that sounds awfully buggish. That cannot be intended functionality because it makes absolutely no sense.

EDIT: Ok, so I was curious so I jumped onto my PC to check it out. It works the correct way: writable items such as storage or signs DO NOT show the last label you wrote, when first writing it or editing the existing label.

So there are two possibilities:

  1. It's a bug in whatever version you are using, but this is highly unlikely.
  2. The more likely explanation is you have a mod or modlet installed that is causing the issue. Which, again is probably a bug, but you'd need to take it up with the mod creator.


If you aren't using any mods, then report it as a bug. It's definitely not a feature.

EDIT #2: One additional note. You also mentioned having to retype an entire string to make an edit. This is technically true. When you go to edit a box/sign label, the entire string gets highlighted, so if you start typing, it will overwrite the entire label. However, you can use the mouse/arrow keys to place the cursor where you want to make the edit.

I don't know about the status of VR. I think if we did it, it would be basic.

I don't remember seeing Play as Zombie in the Kickstarter and I've not heard it seriously mentioned.

I would guess PVP will be more refined at some point, but I don't think anyone wants to tweak it until features and values are near completion.

We would like a return of horde mode. I have heard about the old version, but not played it.

I put the extra a in there as "fatal" tends to be already used. I started doing that for my WoW characters.

 
I think the zombie mode would be cool... if it was made in the style of Dark Souls.
You could allow other players in the network game settings to invade your world under the guise of zombies, and for killing a zombie player you could get more experience or better-unique loot that cannot be obtained in another way ) Just thoughts )
