Well I like the RED indication. Also it is horde night, not a surprise night. Idea is to prepare for horde not getting surprised attack .. a prepartion time doesn't hurt. Plus, if you are good at math you can calculate it easily so alert won't really matter.

Try setting your blood moon to every day with a variance of 20 and see how well your new fangled maths will help you then 😁

Well for that we have Roaming Horde still doing that ? Don't we love that, yes they thin it down, but still that is the surprise element

It won't, but it won't surprise me if I found out at 10:00 that a horde night starts, because I knew it can happen anytime. I remain prepared for it. That is how I play.

- - - Updated - - -

at present I am only concern, if they can get RWG to acceptable map ( I am not up for very good looking) and if they can make game so it run on potato computer with 32 zombie on horde, or maybe 100. Even if AI is needs to be lower and making zombie idiots again. but having 100s of them is more fun then having 2 very smart zombie.

Frankly I am level 181+ and zombie count seems very little to me for horde night

 
If only remove the red text alerting the player of that night though. Players don't need a warning until around 5-6PM when the sky starts to red and the thunder starts. If you want to give players a warning earlier in the day, do so with environment changes not fracking red text.

Red text indicating blood moon day is arcade cheesy..

I sure this is temporary while devs add some music to tense moments and stuff. Joel mentioned it not far back from now.

But I WANT it to be surprise night. Why are you telling me how i should play my game.

This isn't Your game, this game players which is the majority, they want to play that way, and You're in the minority. And it's why Your (and My) opinion is not important. Which, in general, is fair. To our regret.

----------------

I only one noticed that the .xml-files are identical in versions 17.2E (b20) and 17.2E (b27).

Am i confused or are all the problems in the balance of the game solved ?

----------------

I should note that the developers have done a lot to improve modding and make finding bugs easier in A17, Thanks very much for that.

It would be great if they solved the problem of silent steps of sleepers, it was already kept from A14.

Let me get the obvious out of the way first: No game can heat up a video card beyond it's design specs aka running under max load.
Now the #1 thing to do is to get all the dust out. That can seriously hamper cooling.

After that it's hard to tell. Bad air flow / positioning of devices in the case? An extra fan for the case would certainly be tons cheaper than a new video card.

Well the dust isn't an issue since I just had my system cleaned out. However I did discover that for some odd reason my Nvidia drivers duplicated way back in 2017. So I wasn't getting the new driver updates. I have since resolved that issue and will be testing to see if that helps resolve the issue. I appreciate the feedback guys and if not will certainly check the fans and/or into adding extras if needed. That would certainly be cheaper.

Sometimes you need to crack open the gfx card to get to your fans and it's sometimes not at all obvious that you can actually get into it. I've cleaned a few where the case was held together with sticky pads on the inside. Confused the hell out of me, couldn't find a screw holding it together anywhere. Even if the engineer missed it that's an understandable mistake.

 
TFP is a team and different people work on different things. RWG is a large time consuming change and the people tasked with that are working on it. Meanwhile, other people at TFP have other things to do and sometimes those other things are smaller and easier tasks that get done before the big tasks can be completed. At least they are working on those other tasks while RWG is being worked on instead of spending time on the beaches of Cabos San Lucas or something....

Not many understand this, its simple and appreciated that you do not just hold off the small fixes until the large ones are done. I felt you did that with A17 alas and we were agonisingly waiting over a year for 'the' update.

Thank god your doing it different now.

Bring fourth bug quenching glory.

Not sure you are sarcastic or putting your opinion, but in either case. I comment on person putting his "way of playing" and I put my ways, which is default way for 7days to die for years.

Also, ask Fun pimps to add another option ...lol for it now :) . a setting in server XML or something :) .

 
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Knitting Needles, Volcano, Spock.

You can't do that.

An even number allows half of the elements to have an extra effect on everything else.

If Spock can vaporise a rock, smash scissors, is disproved by paper, survives volcano.. what is to happen with the knitting needle? Does he snap it, or does he get poked in the eye?

You can only have odd number of elements!

 
So cool that blood moon horde can be a random range of day spread now. - Thanks!

In the same category that the red text enemy HP health bar was in a17 dev.

Then you may as well remove the day counter all together, the Red text is a convenience thing so we don't have to keep doing 7 times tables in the four digit realm.

Can imagine that would as I can't figure that. However, since discovering this little issue with my graphics drivers and fixing said problem I have launched 7dtd and had it running for over an hour with absolutely no issues. Really strange that 2 identical drivers would download and apparently attempt to operate at the same time but it is what it is.
