PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

No, the entire point of streaming is NOT to test. That is the job of the Q&A team. Streamers are for marketing.

That's what I said... or at least meant.

Rick has called for an 11:30 am meeting (CST) so they can assess what else they need to fix (They’ve been fixing stuff all weekend as they’ve noticed things). Then they’ll create a release candidate, test it to make sure it doesn’t crash. They’re shooting for a late afternoon release.

Yeay... I brought my Batman undies.. hope im not to late for the party!

...or lower the difficulty setting. Which is harder to do then one would think. (I.e. ego in the way)

Setting difficulty to Normal is as far down as I can go. I don't think any veteran will go lower than that.

I must die several times before I will let them pry my cold dead hand from that setting

Anticipation is huge, one monday lasts 24 hours. Hours boys, not months, not weeks. Be patient and it will happen.

Hm, sir, finding and getting a bullet casing out from a body is not like getting a stick out of it. I know what you mean and brass being ballanced could fix the problem with lack of .. of it.

the casing never goes to the body, that is what falls out of the gun. The bullet (lead) is what is lost in the body. Lead is easy to get/mine but brass is not. or was not in A16.x

My point is I can see how much fun it is to "town build" because I've done it.

I personally like to deck out a cool base late game in 7 days, just to give a finger to the zombie apocalypse and its cool to show off to your friends and nice not looking at drab reinforced concrete or steel.

Yep... Somtimes multiple bases, just because.

Nice to know this behavior runs deep

Let's go to bed people. Last chance. We will not have much sleep any time soon.

I saw a couple bugs, or maybe just weird issues on a stream I was watching and not sure if they got reported. Where would I do that? I went to the bugs forum and didn't see a sticky or anything to list them.

i hope there arent any crit issues i just picked the game up for a friend to play on monday :?

 

[faatal]

zombies seem to get up pretty fast?? it certainly doesn't feel realistic, imo

Realistic? Correct. Last time I was killing zombies in my back yard, they definitely were getting up slower, but our zombies drink coffee, so they are a bit peppier.

no zomebie loot?

There is zombie loot. 2% from normals and 3% from ferals/radiated. What there is not, is endless rifling through corpses.

You proved it. I am part time stupid idiot sometimes. I might get profesional, who knows.

According to the QA discord:
TwiggToday at 1:56 PM

hopefully late tomorrow evening, subject to testing

When I think "Release to public opt-in Monday Nov 19" I think Monday 00:00 GMT.

And If there where any big bugs/errors etc or further testing needed I feel like It would be a bit to late to "Call" it off now.

I'd like to add that I can see people getting frustrated.

I want to know when I and my friends can play, so we maybe can adjust or day around it, a slight bit, also the fact that its been 1 year + since we had such a good reason to wanting to play

No more cleaning up the mess after horde night and collecting useless junk. Love it!

I always try to practice amateur idiocy. Hope I never go pro.

Off topic Question for you Roland - Since IDs have been removed from Blocks/items according to the release notes, is there still a 2047 Block limit with A17?
