Honestly i can't even understand how you guys still excited for this new update, what they showed is basically almost the same game with a lot of cuts contents, i mean the graphic is updated but it doesn't look that different, it took 1 year for a single update (and the game is in alpha since 2013) to get what ? more deleted features than new ones ? WTF does it mean that my backpack have locked slots and i have to unlock them, where is the improvement in that ? No sense. What about the loot change + combat system revisited, adding a better attack and removing the backstep and directional sprint instead of a dodge and parry, that sound pathetic since the moment that sometimes zombies have to get hit on the head dozens of times even with firearms, hope at least hitboxes got fixed.More veichles (with single seat because there's issues that need to be fixed... OK) but a smaller map, health and stamina nerf which cause a general less impact from the food and water mechanics,

also can some one explain me why the HUD stuff is incomplete ?

Why no more weapons or stuff like traps, materials and bulding has been added in the game ? it's sickening seeing always the same tools of death.

I don't even want to talk about the loot speech and all those dropped features which could have been a reason to not beeing disappointed in what i've seen from these previews

Basically this a17 seems like more graphic and less gameplay.

I'll try it without prejudice but i'm 80% sure i'll leave the game there where it is.

You will try it without prejudice?? After writing the rant above?? Seriously??

I'm at a loss for words.......

 
i was talking about the transition from dead to lootable gore pile. It is just a bit to jarring to my immersion to have a bunch of backpacks popping up and zombies vanishing with pops.
Perhaps if we can swap the backpacks for the guts loot item that you get if you ax a corpse with loot on it.

Something Roland said in another thread I think applies here

That is a placeholder. They will replace the sudden disappearance with something to hide it or some kind of effect or make it last longer and wait until it is out of view....something. There is a plan. What you saw in the video is not the intended final product. Please remember that we paid to be part of the construction process so we get to see things that are currently under construction.

I for one am seeing a lot of improvements from a finished game prospective not as it is being built prospective.

I rembear when it was scary and super hard at the start of the game. Changes coming with a17 are reinstating that difficalty as it should. A survival horror game should be hard to settle in. Granted not brick wall hard but hard enough that it has a lot of lessons learned the first few days on that character.

Graphic improvements are a must in any game. Subbing your nose at it is silly seeing as most people buy with their eyes first not their problem solving skills.

Multiplayer is finally getting some love. Yes we have had it for a long time but them adding just basic transportation for more than one shows the gears changing for that goal to be in mind. Most changes up to this point have been geared toward single player and single player balance. Now we get to see group dynamic skill selection as well. People will need to group up or use traders. So excited for that.

Thanks TFP. Looking forward to playing again and hopefully more changes.

 
Go ahead and ban me if you want.

This dude just summed up what I have been thinking the past 6 months. I also notice that not a lot of the original people that were so stoked about this game, and the updates almost every quarter, are no longer posting on this forum. Frankly, I have bought 5-6 new games in the past year that have occupied my time. I used to religiously play 7DTD, along I might add, with 10-15 players on a rented server that lived this game religiously. I really miss those days, and the games that have caught my "renewed" interest have far better graphics, storylines, and are leaps and bounds over what their betas, alphas, omegas, and all other updates they come out with, at least every 3 months. I mean, cool alpha, I have been playing since '14, and I and several other friends are tired of the waiting and "visions" and "this is where we hope to be by this and that date" comments from the developers for the past 4+ years. By the time this game is out in beta, or finished, or whenever it is "done" , there will be a far better game that has a story line, a point to the long play, or really anything that has been "promised" and or "goals" that will leave this game as a very fond memory. Just my thoughts, not constructive, but from my honest opinion. I bought it, I have played over 3300 hours, but maybe it is time for me to move on instead of looking forward to any future updates of the game. I wish TFP success, and I hope you are pleased when your goals are met. I mean that!

Not seeing the older members posting is not an accurate assumption, i have been playing since Alpha 2 and only recently joined the forum. I have loads of other games to play till the update hits, but as always i enjoy seeing important updates/improvements to the games i own and that makes me want to replay them no matter how old they are. There is always room for improvement and im glad TFP are doing just that.

 
Okay, people. I know we play fast and loose here, and I love the enthusiasm, but this is still not a chat room. Please don’t make posts just to increase the post count - it’s spam. There is plenty to read without drumming up conversation for its own sake. Also remember posts must be in English.

Our apologies crater, the intent wasn’t to spam, just passing some time while we wait for A17.

Cheers

If you want to be the first on page 2000, just change your posts/page setting. I set it to 5 and i was the first one on 5900 or something like that.

 
@CraterCreator I will own up for my posts. from now on english only, but grammar and spelling eh ill try.

The question I was asking was do you like turtles. Won't post that anymore. :smile-new:

 
Since the streamers didn't get the 2 weeks head's up that A17E is coming, then it means that it will not be until at least a few more weeks.The streamers get contacted in advance by Roland (I think) that they are getting it on a certain date, and we get it a day or two after the "streamer's weekend"... Unless my friend did get contacted already and hasn't told me yet! :upset:

I'm really excited about A17 so hopefully... Soon!

You mean A17 of course! :)

Um, Roland already cleared that up. They DO NOT get a 2 weeks heads up. One streamer misunderstood the email he received and made a video stating that, he was wrrong, and made a new video even saying so. The 2 wee notice is not a thing. Period. End of story.

I am also giving a shout out and HUGE heart felt thanks to all who have joined the Legion of Panties for Peace campaign! Together we can enact positive change! LOVE TO YOU ALL!
