it's a dirty dangerous thankless job. :)

Personally I'm very grateful to my QAers and testers. If I had to run through a zillion different scenarios (unit tests? lol like we have time for that crap) I'd go insane. I'd rather go insane writing the code.

 
i don't know if the question has already come up, but.......can we paint the car/bike? that would be soo awwesome. Maybe one color for each side (rainbow-unicorn style.....please....)?

 
I'd be 100% okay with paintable vehicles or a vehicle skin system like Borderlands 2. I like zooming around the map in a garishly colored truck. Is dyeable clothing still a thing in A17? If so, is it a limited predefined color palette, or do we get to pick from the entire RGB colorspace?

I would also be 110% with the ability to take a shotgun or auto turret and mount it on the 4x4 for a passenger to run. You know, if TFP run out of other things to develop on vehicles.

 
@ DaVegaNL just saw a scishow youtube episode on it.. must confess i hadent heard of it before but it should make the Kiwi's happy they can claim NZ as the biggest part of Zealandia above water and claim NZ as a continent..lol
was an interesting episode.

its where we put the crocs and roos and snakes and fire ants and funnel webs and fruit flies and dingos and drowned them all after we split from gondwana land

our continent is so cool we catch fish on it

 
To be fair, I absolutely love hacking zombies to pieces with the katana in L4D2. It's especially satisfying when their intestines turn into party streams.

We need this in 7dtd, in fact we need a better dismemberment system in general.

 
Hey, as long as the issue with vehicles falling through the world is fixed, I'll be content. That bug put a serious dent in my server's players' ability to explore and scavenge together, because we were always waiting for the world to load for one guy.
I'm also excited about RWG pregeneration. Of course I appreciate the work that goes into Navezgane, but I can't resist the unpredictable unknown terrain. I know one of Joel's videos showed POIs better integrated into the surrounding terrain, but was that just for Navezgane, or is the socket system changed for the better in A17? (Asking for a friend who last night accidentally drove a minibike off a massive cliff and landed with a thud in front of the trader compound.)

Yeah in A16 this was one of the biggest things that annoyed me, so many minibikes lost... Going to be hard to break the habit of always taking the tires off the minibike if I am going to walk away from it. As that seemed to stop it from clipping thru the world for me. I only played SP for the most part, I heard it happened even more often in MP.

 
Also apparently some Unity3D games saw a pretty large FPS increase with the Vulkan renderer, like 20-30% increases. :3

Does reshade work with that Vulkan thing? As I can't live without my adaptive sharpen and luma sharpen filters as a minimum for almost every game I play.

There is however a difference in complexity.
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.

Sadly 98% of gamers today can't handle that type of quest, ever seen teens today try to play like super metroid? they can't get anywhere as there is no arrow showing them where to go and they seem unable to explore on their own. Its why games are dumbed down so much today, the lowest common denominator.

There is no taking parts off of vehicles anymore. Just mods.

I can remember the old doom game. You could walk for hours in an level and not find the entrance or exit or key needed. Mind you I was like 8 at the time.

 
i would like it if they made turrets rotatable in all directions so that I can mount them upside down as in the movies.

I saw a short video about funnel webs the other day. Nasty things!

Same here! I have the old DOOM games still, and I still get lost sometimes after all these years.

 
I'm not familiar with DOOM ("that game's not appropriate for 8-year-olds"), but that freaking Lost Woods in Zelda was a female dog.

Edit: Really? "female dog" doesn't get edited out? What exactly is on the language filter?

Now this I am curious about. I get the feeling now that we aren't going to build the vechicles but find them in the world, and we may have to repair them with certan parts once to get them running again. Unless I am reading too much into it and parts were just renamed mods.
