PC Alpha 21 Discussion Overflow

Just curious, in A21, if you ramp a 100% healthy motorcycle off of skyscraper_01, what state is the motorcycle and rider after they land?

In A20, the bike loses ~3% and the rider loses ~14 health.

Ohh... I have got to try this! 😁

I always jump off one I have parkour but never tried this.  I did try shooting a zombie that was in the ground as I was falling last night but missed. Need more practice shooting while airborne. 😁

I did it again recently. This time I took about 70 points of damage and the motorcycle lost I think around 30-40%. I think the difference was in the first attempt I landed on a table out front of the POI across the street. The second time I landed on the street.

 
coud we make a % scale on the top of the webside (under the 7days logo) " release status alpha 21"?

or when 21 is out to 22 ? 

like a 20cm long and 1cm high colour field

-only a nightly idea :)

With all the complaints that they haven't released it yet after suggesting mid-May as a goal, I doubt they'd want something like that.  It would likely cause many more complaints.  It is also not really the easiest thing to try and estimate an actual percent finished as you can't really know how long certain things (especially bugs) will take to complete or fix.

Given that it can take from an hour to a week to fix one error, it is not possible to name the exact release date.

 
Rather them take the time to get it right (as best as possible) the first time and personally have to wait, than for TFP to release a hot mess and have to wait for hotfix after hotfix. It has always been worth the wait with this team. Doesn't make the wait suck any less, never does. They'll release the Kraken soon enough :)

 
Look, I get it, I'm looking forward to A21 too, but in the meantime I've got a whole library of other games to keep me busy.  In a couple of weeks I'll have Diablo 4 taking up 90% of my gaming focus so as far as I'm concerned take your time to get it right otherwise all the cries of 'why isn't it ready yet?!' will turn to 'OMG, how could they release this horrible buggy mess?!'

* Dammit Syrex, that was my point 🤣

LMAO!! It used to say a21 release date: May

Now it says May-June

So next month it will be June-July?

Then what? July-August?
Right…and if we had kept it as May all the way to the 30th and then changed it to June you would’ve LYAO that we kept it saying May when we knew it would probably slip to June. 
 

Don’t you want communication?  It’s looking like June is as likely or more likely as May at this point so we updated the information to reflect reality.

Honestly that's all I ask for (communication) I do wish we had more dev's but I'm happy that we have dev's that give their input and not just no offence yourself Roland, I'm glad you updated the release timeline but bummed however its close and I cant wait, don't want to start a new world or continue and existing one rn bit burnt out after playing everyday since 2019 patiently waiting for alpha 21. Loved what I saw from the streams

Communication? To me, it seems more like a one-sided announcement.🤔

 
isn't that always the case, and more or less the definition of "communication?

Two or more people exchanging one-sided announcements?🤔

Following your logic, calling it a one-sided announcement is also a one-sided announcement itself.

Communication in this case is "providing information to customers".

The word itself doesn't imply two-ways communication, and that's normal when one party has all the knowledge of the facts you're interested in.

Isn't that communication, after all, when you're watching TV, and you hear all the lies that the "propaganda machine" spews out to you?  :heh:

Which is why Lathan told Rick not to say anything about a release date during the stream.

I'm sure it's all an elaborate prank to make Rick look bad.

Lathan is probably having a secret meeting with everyone else @TFP while performing his best evil laugh!  :heh:

I have no idea what’s going on here. It’s no wonder a YouTuber made an entire video discussing this. Is it really okay for someone like Roland, who works in customer service or PR for a company, to speak to customers and fans with such arrogance and playfulness? I’m shocked that so many people are defending this person and their attitude. Is this some kind of Communist Party forum where only TFP is right? OMG… And don’t even try to tell me that being rude is part of your company culture. ‘Oh wow, this is so freaking cool in 2023.’

You guys can tell this is only my second post on the forum because I usually just lurk and browse. But this time, I can’t stand the arrogance. It leaves me at a loss for words. I don’t understand why I have to put up with such rude arrogance when I’ve recommended your alpha game to so many friends and even bought at least 4 copies myself. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

I don't believe I have ever spoken to you directly. What arrogance are you reading into my posts? Your first post ever was a snarky quip about how the change of release window somehow doesn't count as communication and your second post ever is castigating me for the responses others gave to you that your characterization of what does or doesn't count as communication is extremely limited. I didn't say a word to you until now.

Here's your problem:

You think I'm a customer service rep in the same vein as some hotel clerk who must take whatever crap a customer dishes and always return a smile and a servile will to please. If you can't adjust your view on this then you're just going to continue to be angry and steamed as you read the forums.

You think that a video game site about a game dealing with zombies and irreverent humor while surviving should be as professional and sterile as a forum for St Jude's or the Mayo Clinic. If you think I'm not going to be playful with the subject matter we discuss then you are going to be disappointed again and again.

You believe Saven too ardently....

You are welcome to post and participate but only if you can get a bit more playful. :)
