Define event manager???

Not sure what TFP’s current thinking is on this but when initially discussed it was a more varied take on the wandering hordes concept. In short, scripted events that would cause you to encounter zombies. It was first discussed in the alpha that reduced wilderness zombies.

I just wish there was a way to easily designate "spots" within a POI where the final loot could spawn, so yo never know exactly where it is. As it is now, the whole path through the gauntlet can be ignored by going to the loot room (easier when located in attics, obviously).

They could expand that to bandits and wildlife as well which would help make the world feel lore alive. A great idea if they bring it to fruition

We already have wandering z's, dogs, wolves. I had wolves with 2 dire wolves in the pack on day 30! Day 5 I had a stupid dog horde. Both came when I wasn't inside my base. The 2 dire wolves about got me. I'm still confused on what Roland meant

Long, long ago, I remember Joel talking about it and likening it to how Skyrim would put events in front of you every so often. ..Now who knows if what we get, if we're really getting it, would actually be anything like that.. but if even it were close, the potential is huge.. it's been a feature I'm long anticipating.
I just hope it isn't a monkey's paw wish and when we get it, TFP also implement Learn by(and only by) chopping trees.

It is "things appearing in front of us"; hopefully better hidden than wandering hordes, loaded in with the world. People are hoping for plenty of varied things, like NPC encampments, animal herds grazing, maybe gyro crash sites ... whatever they can imagine. Nothing has really been promised though, so chances are you'll find wild ... badges. (Measured in creative quality)

Hence why I said I try to keep my expectations low. Then when those random badges appear, I can pin them on my chest in stride.

Theoretically it is a manager that can spawn random encounters and events in your path before the location comes into view. So for example, if the game sees that you are heading for a supply drop it could place a party of bandits at the spot so you’d have to deal with them for the crate. Or it could place some bandits fighting several zombies ahead of you so that when you come into view you see it unfolding and can decide how to proceed. Someday, it would potentially manage story related events happening to the player.
The twitch commands are the precursor technology where audience members can cause things to happen to the player—many of them silly. This would be an AI manager making things happen to the player but hopefully not silly or badge-like things.
Lots of potential for the game and for modders. It is listed as one of the 3.0 features.

Last weekend, I opened the front door to my base and a roaming dog horde led by a dire wolf ran past my base, the zombie dogs came at me but the dire wolf kept on running. Kind of, one of the weirdest things I've seen so far.

I think or believe most of those who are hating on the new changes and so on, do not like the fact that they have to learn new strategies and come out of their comfort zones.

Or.... just saying.... some of us just thought the game was better? I still enjoy the game, so I'm not saying that its not good now, I just believe it used to be better.
Yeah, that's a good change. In A17, if you climbed up somewhere high and there was no way to get there, the zombies would just bunch up right below you. You could just sit there and throw explosives down.
It's hard to say. There are changes, of course, but personally it didn't affect my game much. I don't see much difference between a zombie that gets up from the floor or jumps out of a closet.
On the one hand, the development of the table is more logical, but on the other hand, it has become more linear. In old games, I sometimes had strange situations when I found the recipe for the crucible on the first day, but for several weeks I could not find the recipe for the forge. I had to make iron and steel in the forge on the merchant's territory. I can't say whether this is good or bad. But both options have their pros and cons.
An interesting change. In the form in which it originally appeared, it was certainly not very good. But now I even like this system. At the beginning of the game, you have to tinker with water, but in the middle and at the end, I practically forget about water. And this is despite the fact that I make glue in large quantities.
Good idea, a little distraction from the routine.
It's a controversial thing. On the one hand, it gives an additional occupation for all these tests, but on the other hand, it simply stretches out the game time.
On the one hand, these quests randomize my looting a bit, since the merchant can send me to a POI that I would only go to by accident. On the other hand, you can live well on the rewards from the quests without trying to do much else.
