No. A17 will be released in a few months most likely.

 

[Miss Ecchi]

Yeah, it will be interesting to have such a powerful vehicle. I wonder if there will be anything dangerous once you have one. You wouldn't want things to be too easy?

Dangerous? The jeep does get possessed by a ghost occasionally and tries to drive you off a cliff, but that only happens every 5 minutes.

Why do we have a claim block in SP?

That's probably just so we can pick up our benches and such still

Firing weapons from vehicles is iffy for A17.
Turning to where you look is basically done except for control settings stuff. We already went through testing, feedback and improving it. It should be in A17.

And it has mouse look mode.

W, S forwards and backwards.

Mouse move turns left or right.

RMB lets bike goe straight, but head turns.

RMB + LMB turns head and fires weapon.

There all solved, easy peasy, make it so, engage, (more startrek phrases here).

+1 sounds right

So you're saying because you like SP that anyone else who may be co-op with their families and friends should be limited? That makes absolutely no sense from both a logical and a business standpoint.

No, He didn't even imply that co-op should be limited. He did say that SP shouldn't be limited just because a certain feature doesn't work in MP. Having a feature in SP that just doesn't work in MP is in no way "limiting" MP. Taking it out of SP ONLY because it doesn't work in MP is in fact the very definition of limiting one thing because of the other.

Edit: There are other valid reasons to not put in a feature for SP that doesn't work in MP. Maintaining two code bases comes to mind instantly. But none of them were part of the discussion.

That's OK as long as the Ghost Busters song starts playing 5 seconds before the jeep enters the Twilight Zone. Giving me time to decide if I want to take that ride.

How about an explanation of the Environmental hazards we will be seeing around POI's? Weather and Temperature haven't been touched or discussed in several Alphas...What's the plan?

Why are we having to go into closets..shouldn't the zombies be coming out of them ..it is 2018?

Ouch

Hi.
Breadcrumbs?

The latest on this topic is that Breadcrumbs development was too difficult. So Breadcrumbs idea got replaced in A17 with the Enemy HP Health Bar feature.

I've a question about the Buff Overhaul

Buff Overhaul+Replacing old buff system with a more robust and optimized framework

+Designed to work and stack with items, weapons, clothing, skills, perks, and attributes

+Can be triggered and modified by events during a buff's lifetime.

So... I don't see "Blocks" in there. Used to be I could make an asphalt block buff a player. Is this no longer going to be allowed?

Sorry about that. Blocks are definitely included in the list. If not we couldn't really call it more robust. The types of things that will be able to trigger a buff will be lightyears beyond what we have now. Blocks included.

Proof is in the examples.
