i like the feature of distant train and you can see cities from miles away i really do hope they are going to add the ability to see bases aswell

i am a pvp player and i just hate the fact that from 50m i can t see any base when i get closer a huge tower shows up my options are high as possible

please add that too the game so you can see your awesome base from miles away

"yet" is a word I've come to hate, as is "soon".It's still tons of fun in mp, a challenge. Zombies are not challenging even at high lvls, but people, now that's a lot of fun.

you have to consider that this game isn't made for pvp, but for sp and co-op

TFP had said multiple times that pvp would be fixed later, but the other aspects of the game have priorities

 

[Roland]

Regardless of whether the game is intended as SP or competitive MP, TFP has a strong interest in preventing the clipping and looking around underground. It is not a feature they want in the game regardless of how you play. It has been a challenging issue to resolve in a voxel world but if they can solve it they will. This also includes clipping of animal heads through doors and fences.

same OMG

OMG wow me too

Xbox one

Hey so I'm new her and don't really know where to put this but where is the updates for Xbox one? I haven't seen any post on it in a while and I'm very eager to see more added to Xbox.

Roland, thanks for that, good to know it's "still" on the radar and will be "yet" fixed "soon". It's still massive fun to play. Thanks

hehe

I was careful not to use your hated words...but yeh, add it to the pile of things that are labeled “yet” and “soon”....

I’m sad you changed your avatar. That show was only one season but it was one of the freakiest vampire concepts I’ve seen and little Millie Bobby Brown was very impressive.

But doggies are cool too.

In the console forums....

 

[sillls]

well you can sorta already do that with campfires, you can end up with a very large number of zombies
Find a way on top of a base, perhaps jumping using a mini-bike or just climbing which many people fail to defend against because they're thinking of the zombies, not people.

Then go out and as close the base as possible build a bunch of campfires

Go back on top of base nearest campfires, wait. Screamers spawn.

And if you keep it up for long periods several screamers can sometimes spawn at one time, and don't shoot them, but keep them screaming. Rinse repeat, let them break into the base for you. Poorly built bases can be undermined this way and end up collapsing.

Hey welcome back Clism. I haven't seen you in ages.

A17 is in feature freeze so they are just fixing bugs

 

[CrionLord]

Everyone say it with me now "Feature freeze!" I've somehow almost forgotten what an update feels like!

So excited!

 

[Jedo]

Should I start whining now about how the streamers get first crack at A17? (Did TFP maybe fix that bug from A16? layful: )

 

[Roland]

(Did TFP maybe fix that bug from A16? layful: )

Yes. The fix was showing 80% less media so everyone would be coughing for videos and begging the streamers to show SOMETHING this time around.

I would love it if all the streamers that stop by the forums once in a while get it for a few days.

Reason: My first time I play at each release I role-play 100% and I really try to stay alive as best as I can. SO, If I learn something from one of the streamers, I will pretend it will be something I heard the trader say. My goal is to live till day 100.

Is it not possible to do something like turn off the view distance from viewable blocks while underground so there is nothing past whats to see with the block in front of us? I dont know how stuff works but that came to mind lol.
