I allways love the pvp on 7dtd over other games because you had to grind for it and be tactical about it, finding bases is also fun. as well as the reward for raiding nice items since are not so easy to find . the thing that could be reduced is the maximum height of the map. to like 70-80 up from the ground level and -20 in ground. and a 7-10km cap square will work with tweaked lood spawn times.
On Steam there was a thread about it that quickly resolved with the following text (which I included when I pinned a link to the Developer Diary recently)
The fact you laughed at something that wasn't meant as a joke and wouldn't have been funny if it were one got me a little confused I must admit, hehe.
I honestly do not know or care what was said prior alpha phase since I got the game last year. All I know is there's going to be a main quest involving some character named Noah and The Duke with factions and whatnot. That's all I actually do care to see before the game is released.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not frustrated but simply concerned about the fact the game doesn't seem nearly finished but will be moving to beta soon. I wouldn't want 7DTD to end up unfinished since it has so much potential.@trolland: Yeh he may be trolling, but I'm not sure you realize the level of frustration "out here" away from the spotlight and the knowledge you get from going to jira... people be frustrated homie. Not saying they're justified, but it's true, they really are. Communication is horrible, and I think you know it.
And communication on forums truly is horrible, it's like worse than the zombie apocalypse for sure haha.
Because MM is always going on about Skyrim and Fallout and that many ideas were taken from those games? I say the more content the better. It certainly doesn't need to have everything from all those games, but an RPG without a main quest does seem lackluster.
There's no rush really, quite the contrary actually. I know MM wasn't serious about the game coming out in 2030, but I don't think it's anywhere near beta ready.
I wasn't trolling at all. My point which you missed entierly is they even released a story mode for Minecraft afterall. We know 7DTD will have one as well and I was just saying it would be lacking not having it before release.
So, it took them 5 years to come up with a story mode for a game that supposedly no one cared to have a story in. So much time and efforts wasted, eh?
If it wasn't clear already then I will attempt and clarify my point once and for all: the game doesn't look nearly finished and I can hardly see it moving to beta anytime soon.
Since you claim to be serious here is the huge hole in your argument. Minecraft released as a finished game in 2009 and its story mode came out 6 years after release by an entirely different company. You keep using this example to somehow prove that story mode should come out before release but it is a very poor example for that argument.
Not wasted at all. It came out 6 years after the core game was released as a complete game with no story mode. I like Minecraft story mode. It's pretty funny and the first episode is free (that's the only one I've played). But WE are all saying that its okay for story mode to come out after release and YOU keep saying it should come out before release and then you use an example that is the poster child for a story mode releasing long after release.
There isn't many games I'd support DLC for. This is one of the few exceptions.
As I already said, I am dead serious. I didn't mean to engage into an argument about Minecraft but since it's too late for that, I will only point out that they added a story mode because it was lacking in the first place. And of course, releasing it afterwards was much more profitable. I certainly wish that's not going to happen with 7 Days.
I like to support games that I enjoy and encourage their productivity by buying the DLCs. But not a lot of games do deserve it. But you're right in that 7 days does deserve it and it can essentially be added to time and time again with lots of so many new and different Improvements; it would be good for us as the consumers and enjoyers of the game and also The Fun Pimps financially.
I know many of you guys are faithful players who are following the game since even before it came out, but you have to think of new players. If they see a beta release that looks unfinished they won't care about whatever was promised for it. They will just rant at the game for being unfinished.
Gotcha. Sticking to this game there will be a story mode with main quests that reveal the story and in my opinion if that story releases during alpha or if it releases 6 months after the game goes gold those are equally fine outcomes. I also don't want it to take five years.
I think the problem here is defining what is major. I feel many major changes have come over the last few alphas. In fact, every alpha release the game seems a brand new creature and in general superseding the one before it. But it sounds like they haven't been working on the things that are important to you so to you it seems really samey and no big changes.
Yeah, again TFP can't help it if people misunderstand Beta. But then people have been misunderstanding Alpha and ranting about it for the last 4 years too. Pretty soon we will be saying, "It's Beta" to those cute little monsters.
All of this Can be modded
The entire game can be pirated for that matter. That's not my point.
Then DLC wont work
Any self respecting DLC will include upgrades to the game engine that can't be covered by a mere mod. Besides, I don't think added-cost DLCs are really TFP's way of doing business (but, obviously, I don't really know for sure). The way they've made 7DTD so far it seems like they prefer to give us a product that is well worth the price of admission and becomes the gift that keeps on giving. They could easily make a crap ton more money after this by making 7DTD2 or some other similar game based on some of what they've made for 7DTD.
