In 7DTD global warming can come and go many times over a short distance. :p

(Yes, I know that isn't really global warming.)

 
Question:
Seeing quality levels indication has been cut down to those 6 color coded tiers on guns – Will that be the case for all other item types like tools and clothes/armor too?

And is it safe to assume that's the end of workbench combining?

I'm hoping it's more like two items of one tier yields an item of the next tier

 
I have 4882 hours in this "trash" game that I have absolutely enjoyed playing. To me that means if I liked this trash game so much as I do now, imagine how much more I will enjoy it when it is a finished, optimized, bug-free version. Everyone will be different.

I have over 650 hours and I have been playing this game for almost 5 years now.

I actually didn't really mean that this game is straight trash, because I really enjoy it and it is in my top 5 favourite games of all time, but there are lots of bugs, crashes, exploits, glitches, frame drops, lags etc. that make the game for some people look trash. Sometimes even for me, when I am on rampage with all these bugs, glitches, this game literally becomes unplayable.

That's why I would like, that they could finally add what they plan to, then optimize the game so it will be finally FULLY SATISFYING for me, and for most people, who would play the game once and then leave it. Why am I saying it? Because there are tons of people who keep saying that they would love if the game was in Alpha forever, lol.

Just look at Terraria. There is enough content, they no longer update this, but this is an almost bug-free version of a game which really is fun and you don't become mad because you died by a glitch or crash. You play it for 50-100 hours, have fun, then leave it for few months, then come back and you want to play it again.

 
How much time do you have???
:cocksure:

Plenty. Go ahead. What’s so wrong with the UI? It seems pretty good to me. I know some don’t like the art style but other than that what’s wrong with it?

 
It’s just as I said after the last video. Madmole means beta. After A17 drops they will shift into high gear with optimizing and bug fixing and polishing. New content will be more about fleshing out what we already have and any other missing large features from the Kickstarter list of goals will be pushed to post gold launch.
It’s really just semantics. The devs plan to add to, enhance, and tinker with the game through at least 2020.

Exactly what I'm driving at: If that shift happens after A17 drops then THAT is where the beta starts as I and probably a few others understand the word.

Now obviously MM uses a different definition of the word beta (or just wants to hint at much beta-work being done now or talks about A17.1 to A17.x as A17 or ...). Just a case of semantics.

+1 for "not liking style" if you can call the current one style at all... ;)

Liked the old ones of prior alphas quite a bit better. More immersive. The best ingame-menu screens I've seen in the last years comes from "The Forest". The inventory screen as a open backpack is nice, but the stat screen as a note pad is awesome. Survive the nights, Stalker and some other do similar things, and it feels great, imho.

I do miss the old tool belt. The bland grid just isn't post-apocalypsy enough for me. Oh well, I'm sure it can be modded.

Not really a big deal, I was mostly being cheeky for cheeks sake.

P.S.

I don't care what anyone else says, you are employee number 1 Roland! I hope you are compensated properly...

I'm sure he gets all the fish heads he can eat.

If “beta” and “gold” are anxiety inducing words then just think of it like this:

“The devs have finally listened and agree that it’s time after A17 to clean up the code and fix the bugs before adding more feature content to the game.”

I know there is a significant faction of our community that has been waiting to hear those words for years. Well...rejoice. :)

I swear to god I just snickered like Ernie from Sesame Street, I have 1,279 hours in this game and I have only been playing since the tail end of A15 and I'm probably a scrub compared to some guys who have 10,000+ hours.
