I have 16GB of with 55% of it being taken. With 7days2Die and 7 tabs. May go up a bit if a horde wonders by but you do NOT need 32GB for 7 Days, any game for that matter. The performance gain from having 32GB is so small it isn't worth the extra money one bit.

Ram is supa dupa cheap though, compared with GPU and processors. But you're right that it's not "needed".

batman is dead, time to change universes. Marvel it is.

Wolverine is acceptable.

 
noob question: what's the spider meme? There's some context I'm not getting.

The spider meme comes after MadMole has done a play-through video, and not just an A17 feature exposition and demonstration.

Wolverine is dead too.....you're behind the times.

 
I put 32GB of RAM in my last build, and it was one of the most expensive components, since I didn't go for a high-end graphics card, motherboard, or CPU. But I can run 2 IDEs and all the Chromium tabs I want, all at the same time. I love it; it's like my own little slice of a utopian post-scarcity world.

 
So I’m guessing since release talk has been hush hush recently it’s looking like early August is more likely now I’d guess. Well gives me time to try out no mans sky’s new update next week.

 
Showing it as new and progress is fine at all, but seeing sticky Arrows praised as a new godess while we wait for Bandits, Factions, Perlin Caves and a Zipline riding Behemoth.... is underwhelming and frustrating.

That hype train was the sole work of Roland, if I remember correctly. So it depends if it just was his view or he was "translating" for TFP.

Considering Rolands play style is centered on survival and immersion, I'd say it is believable that the enthusiasm was largely his own.

thats a meme with the spider Zombie we allways post right before the next alpha release... it´s tradition ^^ btw, Noobs can write in normal size letters ^^

 
Yeah that was a feature i was looking forward too, as it would be a gamechanger and make Mining interesting ( and underground prefabs? )

Yeah i agree. I dont mind those features at all, but the way they present it to us as "The next Big thing" or the re-invention of the wheel.... yeah great guys.... Slow Clap...

I wouldn't be surprised if a first iteration of Bandits made A17 as a surprise feature. If memory serves, Bandit development, or rather NPC development overall, was largely held up because of the difficulties creating AI. Or at least, AI was a major part of the hold up. With faatal onboard doing some cool AI stuff it seems, that may have been an early focus. Also, if memory serves, Bandit models have been in the game since like A15 at least? Soooo... who knows?

I'm not going to lie I will probably be the first to get rekt in the new poi that i go into. I'm going to be focused on the floor so I don't go boom and probably get eaten by zombies because of it lol.

I have a habit of hiding on 2nd floors of random houses on horde night, or at night in general early game, going to be intersting, can't wait to see how they figure out how to get to me, I figure they will bust blocks to make themselves stairs along the walls, so they can climb up to me.
