as far as I know, its still unknown. They mentioned optimizations as well as making areas with water run smoother but no comparisons yet.

My code is always as basic as possible...only when I start going overboard adding in new systems does it start to get messy! then I have to go back and organize it again...

I meant packed together in a single file... thousands of lines
Hows readability going in said files?

Four more days till one year ago (7/17/17, July 17, 2017) (The number 7 is the theme maybe) when 7D2D hit a peak player count (all at one time) of almost 32,000+ players (presumably because of A16 release/experimental)

i7-6700 is like 50% more better like your FX 6core and 7dtd is really CPU heavy game. I have also i7-6700 + 16GB ram 2133Mhz +1080ti and can run game nearly stable on 144fps (sometimes spikes under 90) but not maxed settings. I have setting maybe 7/10 of its maximum but CPU is bottlenecking.
But i had problem with UMA Textures, when they are on ultra i get 3fps (yes three), if i decreased it to very high then i get 144fps so maybe try this one setting decrease and see what happens to you.

Hot dang, she does that? ...Say, is your wife married?
Well, nuts. I know this won't sway you, but I'd love to catch a ride regardless of how jittery it is. I don't expect a smooth ride, or to be able to do anything in the passenger seat. That's the way it was riding shotgun in Halo's warthog, and it was great. I just like being able to travel quickly with another player without worrying about getting separated.
Nah, probably not. I think the expectation of it being multi-passenger was built in, with or without word from the devs. When you have a game with a one-seater vehicle, and you add a bigger vehicle with multiple seats, it's just natural that people would assume the cool thing about it will be multiple occupants.
They don't add things just for eye candy (much to the dismay of those that want more guns). They add things to fill new roles in the game. So in keeping with that, the 4x4 shouldn't just be a minibike with different stats. But at this time, I don't know what sets it apart. Why will I want one?
I'm not saying I won't want one, or that I can't imagine reasons why I would want one. But without multiple occupancy (and more advanced features that would require it, like a gunner seat), I haven't seen or heard its essential 'selling point' yet. The videos indicate it can smash blocks and zombies, it'll have mods, and it has mouse steering... but surely the minibike will have those things too, just to a different degree. We don't even know for sure that the 4x4 has more inventory space. We assume it will, but that's never been confirmed. High storage capacity and/or superior off-road ability would seem the logical roles for a 4x4 to play, but again that's merely speculative at this point.

When you really break it down there are only ever about seven types of quest, everything else is a variation or combination of these. This is can be combined with the seven basic plots to create the narrative in pretty much every plot-driven game you've ever played.

On one hand I can see and understand what some feel about some things when they say they will do this or that.
On the other hand I understand that ♥♥♥♥ happens and something may change so it will not get put in right away or maybe never depending on what it is. Not that this is the case because it was done said what happened but it could of been that it was working and then when they added some other feature or something it didn't react well with something that was working. These are some problems that happen out of many. It really is what it is if one can't handle that then I would say not play alpha games or look up information that isn't finished yet. It is almost like over in the console section people want more information what is getting put into the game and are getting mad because they will not release info. Well this here is a prime example why they can't because if something happens and they have to take it put then people go but you promised. Anyway I guess that is my thoughts on the matter.

There is however a difference in complexity.When you really break it down there are only ever about seven types of quest, everything else is a variation or combination of these.

Quest 1) Go here and fetch that.
Quest 2) The woman of the Mill man is missing.... (you then have to talk to people and find hints of her whereabouts)
Sadly most MMO's only use the simple quests with even having markers or coordinates. I would love to have complex quests where you have to read stories and solve puzzles. Not just get to that marker and press Fire.

I ment difference in difficulty, not variety. Sorry if that was unclear ^^ I'm not too bothered about variety. But the difficulty!You're correct that these are building blocks that can be put together in varying combinations but in your example "Quest 2" would be a plot made up of several quests whereas "Quest 1" is just a quest.
Right idea, bad example

Apologies, my mistake.
That's a fair point though. Instead of having a map marker for the quest location it would be more fun to have relatively vague details about the location.
For example: The quest item is in the Robinson's kitchen in Nowheresville. First you must find the correct town, then you know it's a residential building, then you must search the kitchens for the item.
This would require some way of finding the name of the town without using the map-viewer in the main menu. In real life you generally look for small shops or civic buildings such as "Nowheresville News" or Nowheresville Library". It's rare for people to put their name on their houses but you'd probably look at the contents of their postbox, not a guarantee of the right house but it would narrow it down some.

Exactly. Perfect example of how to get the most out of a basic fetch quest. One that doesn't stink of MMO, meta-gaming and instant gratification,
The difficult part is to have xml that is able to express such a quest. Selecting a random house is already in A17 judging by the stuff madmole showed and Rolands list.
It will be interesting to see how much control is there for selecting the house and what identifying parameters there are for houses, i.e. names, city names, color or type of house. It would be disappointing if coordinates were the only parameter to find the house, that would just be a quest marker in tedious, but that might be all we get in quest system 0.5.

So, are we going to see escort quests? On horde nights?
