The nail gun will have quality levels now.

Yup. That's the only thing I can spot (aside from the paint brush model)

 

[meilodasreh]

new thing is: game difficulty option "ridiculously easy"

(MM never made it til day65 before, even in cm) 

 

[sillls]

• Trader Changes
  
  
  New Trader compounds
  
• Trader inventories rebalanced with the new crafting progression
  
• Removal of Secret Stash
  
• Further specialization of traders and what they carry
  

[*] 

Can someone tell me more about this?  

What are the compounds going to look like?

Trader inventories going to work with crafting. Are they saying that you have to be able to craft at that level before you can buy it?

Why remove Secret stash?

No pictures shown yet (to my knowledge, I'm not on their social media channels)

Dont know if this counts but a while back they did show a "concept" of trader bob's new compound on twitter

The actual compound looks remarkably similar to that concept drawing! All of the trader POI's have been similarly upgraded.

 

[Lord Neophyte]

any plans on performace improvemtens for A21 ?

 

[Doomofman]

This may have been asked before but...

Any changes to the crawling mechanic for A21? Perhaps something to stop the zombies from suddenly starting to breakdance in the middle of combat?

 

[FranticDan]

I'm wondering if this has been addressed in A21.

At 75% hydration, we start losing 22.5% of our stamina regen, yet, absolutely nowhere does the game ever tell the player of this hidden debuff. Even the character screen provides false information saying we still have 10/sec when we actually have 7.75/sec

@Roland do you know if content lock has already started? Any info that you can provide will be used against the calm and quiet of the forums.

These are not the droids you’re looking for.

The dark side I sense in you.

Have you seen the wackiness of the crawlers when they hit water.  All of a sudden its a bunch of floating legless zombies.  Quite disturbing actually.

I kind of like it. I just imagine that the fermentation gases causes them to float.

I see a "Roadmap to Gold" is published, does that mean "learn by reading" will be part of gold? as this change few times in past, so anything can come back or will it still change going forward or uncertain. Do we lock features for A21 yet?

I'd say not, as the Learn by Reading system isn't listed on the roadmap.

Where can I find this roadmap?

Where can I find this roadmap?

On the first page of this thread.

Well... i have to star another controvesial topic because nothing happens here so...... - if trader will be more specialisted then.... it would force to just find every trader on map. So - a lot of time will be just wasted not traveling while traveling is pretty pointless now - in LBD times at least running make you character better

Not really. When you have done a certain amount of quests you get a special quest for opening a trade route. This route leads you to another trader. In the best case it is another trader. In the worst case, it's a clone of the current trader.
