there are mountains for that
this is a zombie survival game, not a mining simulation, the z's should be able to reach the players everywhere, no place should be completely safe
my post wanted to be a little provocative, not taken very seriously
this should be on the steam page in the description of the game

I find it interesting that somenone askes the devs to take out things like nerd poling because they like the challenge of having to figure out how to do it without that. So everyone has to lose a possible method of play to satisfy a small segment. If you don't like the method/exploit, then just don't do it. SOLVED. That way those of us do use the method/exploit in the way we like to play still have that option. Myself, nerd poling for example is a means to an end to achieve something. Not everything in the game has to be a grind, it can be if you play it that way, but part of the success of this game is the numerous options, not the harsh restrictions. Let the modders create the more tailored versions and keep vanilla more open.

Good joke. :smile-new:
you gotta admit, that nerd poling is an actual exploit.
between nerd poling & building underground, i'd probably say nerd poling is a proper exploit.
makes sense why zombies dont live inside the rock and/or cant really sense you when you're -50 below the surface.. adding some gas or digging zombie threat (i'm 1000% on board for a gas threat)
but nerd poling.. thats just broken

Where is A17... are we looking at days, weeks?
I am dying to play 7D2D again, it has been a while, but I really want to wait to start a game. When we play, we usually invest weeks of playtime into a game - I don't want to have to restart if the patch drops next week. But, if it is going to be another month - I might do it.

Not true, they've been very busy creating all those fake A17 videos they posted in the first post of this thread. It takes a lot of work producing fake evidence that you're doing work! Sort of defeats the purpose, but hey, they take pride in their deception of their loyal fans!
Holy cow, I didn't think this was necessary, but: /s

Hm. A good example why communication with the fanbase should probably be a bit better
Because I really can't explain how the feeling that TFP are not doing any work on their game was established, if not by wrong or missing information.As I see it, they kind of did a bit too much and now it takes longer to get us an A17 that won't upset more people than it would make happy
I'am also waiting impatiently to update the servers and see them full of live... and undead ... again when our little server community starts fresh and we'll try to survive co-op
It's like waiting for christmas when you're 6 years old.- - - Updated - - -
Calm down, I think swifty just forgot to add the sarcasm-tags to his post

Wow, I've edited my post, and you might want to adjust your sarcasm detector lol.
Yes, I really truly believe developers who have a track record of releasing alphas would spend time faking videos of their progress, videos that would be basically impossible to create without actually making those features, or it'd be an extremely silly amount of work to do so and would parallel actually making those features, lol, geezus. ^>.<^
Oh, and that was /s, again, for those with broken sarcasm detectors.

Oh sorry mate, I guess I'm used to the toxicity of the subreddit. In regards to some of the anger, I can understand it, because I too, am disappointed at the rate the devs are going, and can partly understand that it does take a while due to the features they are adding. Again, I didn't try to come off as upset, I assumed you were being serious, and I was trying to understand what you meant.Wow, I've edited my post, and you might want to adjust your sarcasm detector lol.

I don't care who they are, there is tons of new content in A17 basically overhauling every aspect of the game, creating a ton of new content and features, all while the model and texture artists have created lots of new content in the form of POIs and other things, and there was a big Unity3D upgrade done which required a bunch of extra work underneath it all in order to bring awesome features to us such as Vulkan rendering support and speedups in other areas as well which will go very nicely with the graphical improvements they've added such as the new water and lighting effects.
But yeah, they haven't done anything at all, it's only the biggest upgrade in their entire history of alpha releases! lol
