Hey all,
So for quite some time I've been contemplating about upgrading, or rather adding a PC to my collection of options. Problem is, I'll admit to being rather ignorant to required specs and such these days. 7D2D is definitely one of my top favorites to date, but I want to make absolutely sure if I buy a PC, the damn thing will actually work smoothly lol.
I've seen some "Gaming" PC's on Amazon, see them for $600 and that's not quite bad in price, but I know you get what you pay for in the end as well. I'm not looking to spend thousands, maybe upgrades down the road, but for right now, something that can handle 7D2D, maybe even Skyrim because of the multitude of mods to experience. But anyway, I could definitely use some help. If you tend to browse Amazon, and see one within reasonable specs/price, maybe you can suggest that one. Either way, any help would be greatly appreciated.
One other aspect is I would plan to use my TV. I'm not worried about 4k blah blah blah, but I definitely don't want to sit at a desk. My only question is would this affect say game play, or response any? Could it disrupt FPS? Just curious really cause despite it being a TV and not 4k, it'd still look pretty damn good.
Now, as for the game itself. I know the gap between console and PC has been extended even greater than what it was before. I've tried to read up on many aspects, but maybe someone with more up to date knowledge regarding some aspects would obviously be easier than trying to find tidbits in between the many many posts.
1). A17 introduced Digging. This is an aspect that to be honest turned me off. No, it's not because I cant hide or some lame excuse people like to blame on others, I simply love the concept of building an underground forge/workshop near the center of the map to store my materials because I always seek to build multiple bases in various regions (and yes, I build above ground and stay above ground aside from mining). I do keep one local as well, but a central hub is just awesome in my opinion. So, with that said, has anything been said or hinted that at some point in future alpha's, that this can be toggled off? Because unless it's been fixed, the last time I heard anything about it, zombies magically had lazer guidance radar, which is a bs mechanic that I won't go I to a rant about lol. Or at the least, has it been improved that I obviously don't know about to where it's not ridiculous OP? Cause I'm not going to waste time building if they'll just simply destroy the entire area with pot holes.
2). If I'm being honest, if console could have gotten just one more update that gave us the New POI's, the additional skins, the upgraded Navezgane map, and importantly the painting system, I would've been happy. Hell, I would've gladly paid for that. I wouldn't argue against other aspects if it dealt with say stability, or work on smoother controls, but what I stated before would've been perfect in my opinion.
So I've seen posts where others are playing older versions of the game, and is it safe to say it wouldn't be difficult to just play Alpha 16.whatever it ended on? Cause honestly, that's basically the version that matched my wishes for console.
Again, any help, suggestions and answers would be appreciated. Cause if I do decide to take that next step forward, I'd like to be somewhat prepared.
I love 7D2D, don't get me wrong. The biggest appeal aside game play has been the options. Classic zombie apocalypse? Set to only walking speed. Want a virus/28 Days Later/WWZ? Set em to always run. Options to personalize the game to how you want is what makes this game even more amazing if you ask me. As long a TFP's continue to update to how they envision it to be, (which is perfectly fine, just don't turn into 7 Days To GTA stupidity), yet continue to allow us to customize the options so we can all customize it how we find it to be perfect, then perhaps they will have made one of the best games I've ever played in my life. That's not me being a fanboy, that's me being a gamer that's given multiple options to keep a game fresh and fun to keep coming back to.

they was in then taken out for reasons until they could get back to them. Some improvements are still being worked on. As far as turning them off idk MAYBE later from my understanding but it take a lot and will take away from getting other things done so not right now.
