After watching a couple of streams I can already tell there will be lots of complaining caused by the new difficulty on horde nights. Please don't listen to those people.

From what I saw, the streamers were genuinely excited.

Will there be complaints? Absolutely.

I expect rivers of delicious tears of unfathomable sadness.

The problem now is, everybody will get iron tools at lvl 20. It's not much of a choice, it's a "must take" skill at 20.

And why is that so? You refuse to loot anything? That's more of a personal restriction.

 
I hope that the Monday release will be earlier than 19pm CST. Day’1 patch included.

I watched over 15h gameplay of different streamers and saw no game-breaking-bugs.

Now there is some excellent news!

Thx :)

 
It's funny; I'm blessed and get to watch modders still excitedly mod for a16, like manux and his boat mod...

Those are awesome....would love to see the boats and fishing in game. Even the rebar trap having crabs in it would be cool. TFP just has to add a chance to get worms in the soil and a recipe for the fishing pole...VERY COOL!!

Boat animations looked great, but would love to be able to build more rustic boats , like on your server Gup.

 
I just watched a skater zombie jump a 3 block gap in Twigg's stream...during the day lol.

I'm not sure if I should bless TFP or curse them. Definitely going to be interesting.

 
I was going to ask about that - does that mean that if you don't recover your arrows from the corpse before it despawns you don't lose them?

"sometimes"... rng remember and its by design... thats why i noted "not always". but i have had a few fall on their face and got lucky with the sack appearing to fetch my arrows that i otherwise couldnt get...

No it doesn't. If the zombie despawns with your arrows in it your arrows will automatically become a sack (much like the sack when you throw out wood, stone etc) which you can pick up.

Seen it several times on streams.

 
I was excitedly talking to hubby (he has over 5k hours in game) about the new stuff and the great graphics and he asked, "Have they advanced the story any?"

I would say Yes do listen to them. We as old school 7dtd:ers get easely bored. But for new players having a too difficult entry level will make people stop playing and give bad reviews, which leads to less money for TFP to develop cool stuff for us old timers.

@GAZZ would you say that it's easy for a new player to get by without having some one to hold his/her hand or studying tons of youtube videos?

 
Nobody knows...I think QA team and other people are working this we and I hope it will be released at noon CST tomorrow.

We can just hope they release it at 00:00 CST, there is no reason to delay it.

I don't understand company's that release them at random times.

 
A new player if going solo, needs to play on the easiest settings

and 120 mins per day

and shortest night

and airdrops every day.

Might have a chance if they don't want to die a lot.

Multi-player (even 2) is much stronger.

Edit: Why Multi-player is far better:

Group up and don't stop killing zombies for the first 4 days, for a big boost to exp, as each player will have a multiple that a single play could get. (I.E. with the shared experience, 4 players could each have 4 times the exp).
