And this is great in many ways. One is that TFP encourage different ways to travel AND SURVIVE! This is not a Tower Defense game, unless you want it to be. So now, people can't insist their way of playing the game has to be played by everyone.

FREEDOM!!

I won't be happy until vehicles can travel underground so I can be safe...

How in the world did you twist that video into a way to attack people for a perceived injustice to you? No one, well almost no one, that posts wanting things changed in the game are doing it to screw over your way of playing. It is so our game is better in our eyes. This persecution complex some people have to requested changes being an attack on them and their play style is a bit odd.

 
@faatal, MM I love the Jeep can break the trees, and understandably they should. Though you can make it harder for jeep destroy them so easily. Trees are rooted and spikes can tear them down, but it should do damage to jeep and take few hit before it can go down.

But really love the concept and now that I realise the world is so small in current state that we can move easily now. a day 100+ horde will only left you chasing if you are on chopper, and you flew pass them easily get down, refuel and up again while they reach around you.

Though one practical thing I love to have is ability to read map while on any vehicle. Yes the vehicle can/should be stationary for map to work, but why get down of minibike to read map, we can do while sitting on it.

Thanks

You have no insight, or at least what you typed was of a person with no insight.

 
Can't wait for A17 but until then all you people wanting this or that just dig into XML files lol.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1299424247 . I got all radiated cop zombies home wreckers lol . If anybody says they are getting bored of anything in A16 I challenge you to try modding xml or try my server. I know alot of guys have done way more but with 7dtd its what you put into everything that can make all the difference. I got cops puking missiles and blowing up 1/4 sky scrapers on hurt explosion alone. I have made countless mods to xml as many have and if you balance it right it makes all the difference between updates. If I could not mod XML like the Fun Pimps have allowed i would not still be playing 7dtd. Being honest.I have modded almost everything in xml for tweaks,challenge and fun but have loved the progress the game has made over time.Been around since alpha 5 if I remember correctly lol

What you saw, if you watched the video, was to fly high above any threat. Also to plow through any threat and keep going. You will now be even more safe if you drive in A17.

 
I won’t be happy until vehicles can only reach certain depths according to their levels.
Leveled depths.

I won't be happy until (and I'm totally stealing this from tsbx) the timer that cops explode on can be extended via bought perks using points earned from punching grass.

Okay, that last bit was my own flair.

Or.. Bandit NPC gyro-copters with twin turrets! I am expecting Bandit NPC's with jeeps already, as that is how I expect getting one.

 
Holy Crap!

I woke up this morning!

You may laugh but for me that is a freaking amazing thing right now!

Lotsa love to you all.

(cept for Roland of course hehe j/k)

Edit: You know what. This turned into a personal thing and this isn't the place for it. Sorry, Roland.

But thinking the world is out to get you personally and that every thing someone else posts is a direct attack against you and your play style, feeling this way SO MUCH that a video about new vehicles is somehow tied to that belief is insightful as hell. Lol. Go dig a tunnel to bedrock and play hide and seek. I'll continue to ask for things that make my zombie game more fun.

How you twisted what I said: "More freedom in the game", is truly remarkable. I would only hope you are just bored.

We both know that's not ALL you said. But I already edited my last post. This isn't the place for this argument.

Thanks for the video!

My little list of feedback on what was presented:

Gyrocopter: Great concept, but I'm wondering about a lot of things. How will it affect gameplay (especially hordes), or performance? I know it's a feature in progress, but I guess the sounds will be replaced, right?

Jeep: Great to see/hear that objection collision has been fixed! Nice to see you can drive through small trees! Driving through big trees and car-wrecks? That's bad.

Motorcycle: New sounds are okay-ish I guess. You said you were worried about not having enough oxygen when driving through water on your bike, but I did not see any indication of oxygen when located under water..?

It's unfortunate that you didn't show any progress on the big things which were promised for A17; Bandits/NPC and zombie-AI. IMHO you missed a big chance here. I guess we will see some bandits in A18? The vehicles are nice and all, but this a zombie game..

 
Nice work! Looking forward to running over bandits in my jeep, my best girl (wife OC) by my side!

The new maple biome is going to take me a while to get used to though...

 
Alpha 17 is beta, and by all rights SHOULD have been a sequel there is so much work being done.

So it is beta! I remember when MadMole said that beta phase would only take a few months to reach gold, since it should only be about balancing and bug fixing. So they would have to do pretty much everything that is planned in A17.

Roland, do you remember the poll about A17 release date? Can I vote summer 2019 now? XD

Anyway I'm happy with the improvements and I don't care how long it takes, as long as the final result is good.
