Instead of oneshot headshot kills. What would be daaaaang sweet is
- When we melee or aim heavy hitting guns at legs / arms. They break or blow off much earlier.
That way killing the zombies would be harder... And more time consuming, that would result in it being a more rewarding experience. HOWEVER, it would be a lot easier to maim zombies. So when you're on the run etc. But killing them would take more effort.

- New party UI. You see your friends' health.
- Xp sharing among party members.
- Possibly backpack size progression. Citing from his discord: "That list is not 100% final yet so I can't share exacts. Effects like Strength increases Backpack size, Agility increases Max Stamina, etc. "
However in the article it does say that a huge contribution to his survival is "the subject was the man for the case. His physique, will, and capacity of endurance, could scarcely be excelled" and "The shape of the missile♥—♥being pointed, round and comparatively smooth, not leaving behind it prolonged concussion or compression" and the fact it had entered 'slowly' in comparison to a shot from a rifle. For the most part a lot of people would have died with the same injury. So maybe have it a little random as in only certain zombies will be able to survive it? Or random chance?

Sphereii: How different are the new perks, compared to A16?
Kumbaja: You have to really use melee if you want to get into melee and the perks. And you'll want all the perks , not just the first ones.
Sphereei: Is it possible to buy all perks with default skill points?
Kumbaja: No, you'll only reach 1-2. You'll have to specialize. And we're going to be tweaking that to balance it more and more. Where you'll have to make decisions.
--- New PARTY UI ---
Fubar: You can join up with people. Exp sharing within 100 meters of friends.
Kumbaja: You have a modified max stamina, and basically that's how much food you have in you. The stamina regeneration // HP as well, is tied to how much water you have. If you're standing still and you have 10 regen. But when you have only 7.5 regen, then you're at 75% hydration. The more you do, the more you need.
Every point of stamina regenerated, uses up a point of food.
Sphereiie: What vehicles are coming in A17?
Fubar: Motor cycle // bicycle // Jeep.
Fubar // Kumbaja: Backpacks ---> There will be BIGGAAA backpacks. You start with a bit less space than before and with strength attribute you can ultimately carry more later. 45 max (maybe) ????
Sphereii: Has the power system been updated?
Fubar: Trying to get electric doors in. Not quite sure. If not A17, then definitely A18.
EDIT: adding stuff as I watch the vid.
EDIT 2. Questions getting lame, batman is aborting mission.

Just to play a bit of devils advocate but wasn't there a feature freeze? I think fun pimps is using this term without knowing what it means. As "Possibly backpack size progression" is a feature and it should either be in and being worked on or out and not being worked on until A18. Based on this FP, is going to have a lot of scope creep which is going to extend the timelines of any release by a lot.

I'm a simple man, I just want the spider meme.
I hope firearms are put as one whole skill instead of individual skills for each type of gun... such as:
Archery for bows and crossbows
Firearms for pistols, rifles, shotguns
Melee self explanatory (Ability to falcon punch?)
Demolition for explosives
I hate to invest into rifle skill only to have a chest full of pistols collecting dust... unless there is a way to reset skills.

I get what you are saying but still... Gabby Giffords, shot in the head - Very much alive. There is that. She is far from the first case of this as well. A zombie with hyper aggression and feels no pain... if you don't hit the brain stem, they are still coming for you. Sure, take out the visual cortex? Blind but can still here you. Mess up their equilibrium, they can still crawl to you... that is my take on it anyways and can explain away why you can't 1 shot every zombie.

I asked Prime the first time if he wanted it advertised and he said no. This second time he didn’t contact me to let me know.
Can’t drop a ball that was never passed to me....
Just think of it as Easter eggs that you’ve discovered. The backpack progression was secret but has been planned for forever and was implemented awhile back. It’s not a new feature just added. There are other surprises in store not mentioned on the front page.

Also playing devil's advocate, did not they say there would be surprises? Just because there was a feature freeze doesn't mean they have revealed all features to us. That list on page 1 is jus a growing list of what has been announced.

Oh, and I didn't see it said yet, but the stream confirmed zombies are now lumberjacks... no tree base will be safe.
- - - Updated - - -
Also... love the fact it was titled "Short Q/A session and it is 3 hours long - haha.
- - - Updated - - -
Haha. not mad at all it was not announced. This was a nice surprise in itself!... Now I am done... or am I?

Yes, but shouldn't the front page be a recap of what has been announced? Those things were announced by Prime and not listed in the first page.

Wait. What? There was more than one?

Well it is 3 hours but the Q&A part of it is only the first hour. Then he plays hitman, he said he would still answer questions if asked while playing hitman but didn't watch to see if anything was asked.
