If all things are good by the end of the stream event, what time on Monday can we expect to be able to opt-in to A17e?

Oh, and technically videos you watch on youtube are still streamed to your PC, not downloaded.

Just wait until Tuesday!! ;U It's been 1.5 years! You can wait until Tuesday!!

 
I'd rather have it on Sunday lol !

Monday launch is really Tuesday morning for me anyway - and with work - that means next Friday....

as SxR said - we've waited long enough - what's another week? :D

I wish it was Sunday too, by then the streamers would have been at it for 3 days and there would be no harm for die-hard fans getting it.

 
For those that missed MM's stream with Pokket, well you really didn't miss anything.

He looked younger with a shorter beard, but he really had nothing to say that hasn't already been revealed here in the forums or in the Release Notes.

As for the gameplay, her team was totally disorganised and didn't really seem to have any clear objective other than combining for a hour of streaming of their aimless nonsense. I ended up just listening to MM, while I browsed other stuff in a different browser tab.

I think I can happily wait out the streaming weekend to start my own A17 experience. In my case that'll be Tuesday, coz I live next door to the timeline.

I'd prefer streamers try to achieve stuff, not just bleed away time getting nowhere.

I agree about streamers not being organized, but that takes time. if they encounter some bugs that can hinder and/or mitigate the fun for us... its a win

Kage seems pretty good, but everyone is still learning stuff, there is a lot to learn.

I have no idea. They will want to put some fixes in that they will have noticed over the weekend. I suspect Monday will known in the future as F5 Button Day.

 
For those watching the streams, are people dying? Does the game look harder?
Hoping so.

I never had deaths in A15 and A16. So far I haven't been able to go more than 5 days without a death. I don't know that it is harder per se but mistakes can have lethal consequences. It was my own fault to go into a POI at 21:30 instead of running straight back to my base...

There is define dying. I started a new SP game and have had 2 deaths and I'm about to start day 3.

 
Nice, so very glad to hear that.

Been pursuing the release notes and there some nice counters to base defense tactics.

Can zeds now attack upwards to destroy blocks above them?

Not straight up, but at a 45 degree angle upward if the mid/high blocks in their way are weaker then the low/mid blocks.

 
So if they are climbing a wall and there is a block above them blocking them from going up can they destroy it?

A common base tactic is to place blocks around the sides of the outer wall to prevent zombies from climbing up to the top.

Also, from the fixed list: "Sack disappears for another player, when is observed from 6 meters or above"

I had to laugh at that. Who's observing another player's sack? Must be Roland...

I just want to say this.

PLEASE keep doing what you are doing!

Making it harder is the right way to go IMHO. Thank you for not dumbing down the game!!!

 
I hit about a dozen streams. Prime's was by far the most informative per say, so I stuck with that one, but we didn't get to see alot of gameplay.
