Another forum member already has browbeaten me like this, but thanks for doing it again. Do you want to hear why I dismissed an immigrant in Ireland as a possibility, or just leave this where it is? (Ultimately, I was incorrect, but either way involved assumptions.)
I made the mistake of posting after I read, not knowing someone had responded. Should have paid attention to how many pages back I had started to read. I started reading close to twenty back; if I had used my brain, I would have realized someone would have already answered and not have browbeaten you again.

 
Not that my opinion matters, but honestly I'd rather them release sooner rather than "less buggy" later because you and everyone reading this knows that we, the regular community, will find bugs that will require new patches and probably a map reset. Given that losing progress after waiting over a year for an update is another kick in the nuts, I'd rather get all the bugs found and fixed sooner rather than later. It will absolutely suck when experimental is dropped in another month or whatever, and you have a million people staying up all night to play and then there's a bunch of bugs found by the community... And then patches, map/progression resets and more angry mobs.
Oh well, at least I can focus on work :jaded:
But they are working on the bugs that are allready known. There is no need for the "community" to find them. Strange way of thinking...

Cheers

 
Everyone knows they secretly have the game PERFECTED and completely bug-free, but they simply aren't releasing it now out of spite, and every time someone here asks for it, they push back releasing it by one more week! lol
But 100% agreed in all seriousness, polish is great, polish polish polish that A17!!!
There is only one way for you to know that, you are under MM's desk performing.

 
Heya

just came back because I think yesterday my comments sounded like the "I cannot accept things aren't going to happen like I want". I just wanted to express some frustration related to this waiting, but u know.. as Roland says the devs are aware of it. It may be bad to hear that at some points but do whatever needs to be done, I trust you it's for the better good (is that right?). We will deal with the wait however is needed to, and I guess the only reason I'm so excited for this new release is because, u know, u did a great job with the game so far. There's nothing on the market that get's me nearly as entertained as 7D.

Keep up the good work, we will be here to annoy Roland for as long as needed. :)

 
Which game are you talking about? 7DTD has been using Unity since umm... as long as I can remember. Certainly for several years now.
I'm sure you know what he means (eg. Unity version).

But there really is no winning is there... Before the update, the forum was hot with posts, asking for the update. You then update (possibly for other reasons aswell), and as soon as there is a little bump, you get negative posts again...

Ahh human ego, it's always me, me, me...

Just remember that I am more important. Very important in fact! Read my posts, and agree! I command you :p

And importantly the known bugs will still be reported by hundreds of players and will cost a lot of time to sort out.

 
Well good news all, Unity 2018.3 Beta is coming out soon. (https://unity3d.com/unity/roadmap) as they complete almost all development of it.
Hopefully TFP doesn't move to that version for A17, as it drops legacy particles completely and that just means more work converting existing mods, and I don't see any new features that we can live without until Unity 2019.

 
Just bought The mist survival, hoping I come back =)
I got it, bandits are a pain. Get a secure locker asap. They will steal your stuff out of your house and take parts from your car. Hitting things with your car damages the parts. Faster the speeds, the more item damage.

 
yeah make sense more hands faster bugs fixing
What? Us finding bugs is not "more hands faster bugs fixing" Releasing the Experimental with known game breaking bugs will just be "thousands of crappy ■■■■■ing posts about the game is the SuX0Rs and hundreds of legitimate bug reports to wade through on bugs they already know exist." Hence, more work for every developer" Every dev team has its own ideas on what is a "game breaking" bug compared to "well this sucks but we can live with it while testing for other bugs" bug. You don't release, hell sometimes not even to internal testers, when the first list I mentioned exists.

 
You can do it through Steam, but only certain releases. Unfortunately I don't have Steam here at work to run through the steps, but it's a right-click menu where you can select the version. I'm certain someone else here will have a much better answer but it definitely can be done.
EDIT: You were looking for pre-Steam, I'm sorry. I read it too fast :)
NP I downloaded the vanilla 8 to present, when I first joined. They are on separate TBHD. I have seen youtube vids, some of the legacy, builds were completely different from present. I go to each of the builds i have now to study, differences and some times mimic on 15 and 16. But thank you, for reply.

Really you "just" bought it and forgot the name already? :bi_polo:

On a less snarky note: Watched a couple people stream it recently and it looks interesting. I think 20 years ago it would have been my dream game but not sure I have the patience for that much micromanagement these days. Last guy I watched stream was desperately looking for a food to up his vitamin D. Lol

 
So, which do you want? The superior game or a faster release schedule? Because you can't have both.
In support of this comment there is a saying.

"Would you like this fast, cheap, or good? Pick two"

In regards to 7D2Die we've already gotten it cheap so that leaves us picking one.....fast or good.

I'll take cheap and good understanding that I will not get fast.

 
well well my friends, i have made a HITLER VIDEO, for fun, i share with the comunity for enjoy and have fun, maybe we'll forget the bad news for a few moments :smile-new:
